I'm sure monkey boy will be out of alot of money if the deal goes sour.

5. And...

"President Bush said today that port operations will suffer as a result of losing the talents of this capable company."

6. ONLY if its followed by "Halliburton awarded nobid contract for ports"

7. No, the push into Iran requires Dubai and the port deal was their pay off.

Dubai already has the port deal in Britain cemented.

Why do you think Rush is gunning hard for this?

AP is reporting that the deal will be delayed.
