1. Selling out is what he does best. Fucking loser.
Peace.

2. Sold is the key word. Here's a hint: $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
And I bet the internet breaks the story before the MSM.

3. I believe it's going to come out....
they are so sloppy about everything they do.....

When it does come out the twist and spin and try to justify it and claim it's legal....They miscalculated this.....

4. Probably because that's exactly
what he did! He and his cronies are so brazen with their law-breaking now, especially since they've been able to get away with it for so long, and their hubris has grown so large, that they obviously believe that they can do anything, anything at all, and get away with it because no one can do anything about it. But, unfortunately for them, this just may be the straw that breaks the camel's back.

7. He just does what the chip tells him to do
It really doesn't seem to be anythng he had anything to do with. All the money go to guys are the ones calling the shots. He's not in charge. He's the salesman, though, and apparently some Americans love this "I didn't know what's happening" routine. It worked with 9/11. Not so well with Katrina.Is it not working anymore?

8. Well, global fascism has been the family agenda since post WW2.
They allied with House of Saud, and UAE royals, Spanish and Italian fascists, British financiers, Chinese and Korean industrialists, all part of their 5 decade efforts to assert global control over all resources and their transport before they started running low.

10. An unspoken thought keeps going through my head .....
Edited on Thu Feb-23-06 03:52 PM by doublethink
which I'll say now, It has something to do with the upcoming war with Iran. So many dots to connect in such a short time-span though. Hard to get my brain around all the info. Of course it has to do with blatant war profiteering, cronyism, on and on and on and on and on too .... but who has the time to post it all here? The month of March approach-eth ..... :shrug: Peace. :)

edit: typo

11. You're not the only one.
I've got a bad feeling about March, too. This all does seem connected somehow.

15. March 2nd ......
I have heard (if this 'deal' were to stand) is when our ports were to come under control of the UAE management team. It seems relative or at least arguable now, that the Bush administration really thought this deal would go through 'under the radar'. March 6th is when the IEAE meets to decide on any sanctions against Iran. March 20th the Iranian Oil Bourse goes into effect, March 23rd the M3 money supply stats from the fed are no longer publicly known. These are just a few 'March' dates off the top of my head .... there a quite a few more I have logged but the more I see posts pop up on the UAE being involved in numerous terrorists activity's, money laundering, a pivitol place of questionable activity's of devious people in this world .... well ...... I'll let someone else fill in the blanks. Wake me up in April! Peace. :)

12. I think he is truly afraid now of a complete Mid East blowup
He may fear this will be played by the region as one more and a final "proof" that we HATE all Arabs/Muslims adding much fuel to the conflagration he started over there by going into Iraq unneccessarily. Underlying all of this is probably some sort of oil price agreement not known to us.

With Hamas and the denied but evident civil war in Iraq and the cartoon hoo hah - he finally may be seeing what a godawful mess he has made.

I predict they will make some cosmetic changes and it will squeak through - if it doesn't - big trouble and huge price spikes ahead

13. My question is, what's next?
What has he already done that we don't know about yet. It boggles the mind.

BushCo is going to fall harder than any administration in history. Probably within a few months. We have to watch for the scorched earth policy as they fall. It's scary to think that things can and probably will get worse before they're gone.
