Dubai Port smeared the other bidder , also bought Carlyle/CSX in 04
Edited on Thu Feb-23-06 01:58 AM by NVMojo
when Snow was working for them and then went on to his Treasury appointment!!!! Bush knew!!!

January 28, 2006

snip...

Dubai Ports, whose bid has been cleared by key regulators, has launched a lobbying campaign behind the scenes to convince politicians PSA’s bid was anti-competitive because of its close ties with Hutchison Whampoa.

snip...

A bid battle would be the second major contest between PSA and Dubai Ports in recent years. Dubai won the first in 2004 when it paid $1.15 billion for the global port assets of U.S. firm CSX Corp. PSA reportedly bid $1 billion. (Carlyle Grp. sold CSX to Dubai Ports in 04 while Treasury Secretary Snow was working for CSX. When the sale was completed, he got the Bush appointment that he currently holds. Don't tell me this wasn't carefully planned!)

1. Does that change the fact that they are Arab?
With human rights violations? And they are NOT a democrat government.

3. The fact that no one knew anything about this is suspect!
And who were the key regulators? Not Rummie or the blivet. They were apparently clueless.
Snow knew about it, and most probably would make much money from it. . :grr: These guys work for the
people in the U.S. ?

4. It really does take us back to that scene in Farenheit 9/11 with the
shiny happy people gripping each other and grinning in greed lust over the money and deals to be made as in ...BUSH FAMILY and SHEIK FAMILY
