3. Thank you for this - I'll put it in the ports deal compilation thread.
BTW, you might want to watch the spelling of "DOBBS," this is the second time it's come out "Dobss," and people who do a search for the video might not find it.

These videos are such a precious record. Thank you!!!! :patriot: :yourock:

Some earlier Lou Dobbs videos on the ports sale:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=364x484331
thread title (2-21-06 GD): VIDEO- Lou Dobss on CFIUS (the secretive agency that okays this type of {deal}
Comment/excerpt: Hard-hitting report on the “firestorm” on the UAE ports deal on CNN/Lou Dobbs. Apparently the Committee on Foreign Investment in the US, which is run by the Treasury Department (and CSX’s former CEO, John Snow, is now Sec. of the Treasury – a clear conflict of interest) and is so secretive, even the Secretary of Defense didn’t know about the deal. There have been many questionable approvals in the past, and a GAO report has questioned CFIUS’s narrow focus on boosting foreign trade without any real understanding of national security concerns. We need to get a linked copy & analysis of the Fall 2005 GAO report on CFIUS's poor record in comprehending national security concerns - mentioned near the end of the video clip.

thread title (2-21-06 GD): VIDEO- Shut Up, Lou Dobbs (PR campaign to sell public on UAE ports)
Comment/excerpt: Another fine liveoaktx/Can-o-fun video clip.Lou Dobbs says that the big PR campaign entourage from the UAE that is in Washington to promote the ports sale has REFUSED TO SPEAK TO CNN “BECAUSE CNN WON’T SHUT UP LOU DOBBS.” Lou Dobbs says his reporter is outside the UAE (she speaks too) and the UAE is welcome to come and speak about the deal any time they want. He emphasizes that their refusal is NOT because of misreporting or mistakes, but because they want to suppress the story.

thread title (2-22-06 GD): VIDEO- Bush and his UAE Pals- (Dobbs)
liveoaktx/Can-o-fun video of a fine Lou Dobbs segment. It brings out Carlyle Group and Neil Bush’s funding by UAE. Also Snow’s former position as CSX CEO. David Sanborn just appointed to head the government agency that supervises the ports. Even mentions Bob Dole’s lobbying for the deal. Liveoaktx comments: “Snow has some chutzpah going out as a spokesman.”
