BREAKING: Dubai Ports World Boycotts Israel
BREAKING: Dubai Ports World Boycotts Israel
From this morning’s Jerusalem Post:
The parent company of a Dubai-based firm at the center of a political storm in the US over the purchase of American ports participates in the Arab boycott against Israel, The Jerusalem Post has learned.
The Jerusalem Post notes that “US law bars firms from complying with such requests or cooperating with attempts by Arab governments to boycott Israel.” Once upon a time, opposing such boycotts was important to the Bush Administration. From the BBC, 5/11/02:
“The US government is strongly opposed to restrictive trade practices or boycotts targeted at Israel,” said Undersecretary of Commerce for Industry and Security Kenneth Juster.
“The Commerce Department is closely monitoring efforts that appear to be made to reinvigorate the Arab boycott of Israel and will use all of its resources to vigorously enforce US anti-boycott regulations.”
…The Department of Commerce has issued more than $26m in fines and turned down export licenses to those found violating the law.
The boycott against Israel is an important distinction between P&O, the British company that currently operates 21 U.S. ports, and Dubai Ports World.

Judd - real classy. Play the Israel card. You NEVER once criticized Cindy Sheehan and other liberal Democrats when they slammed Israel. But now that you need to attack Bush, you roll out the ole anti-Sem charge.
An ounce of intellectual honesty could take you a long way. Enjoy minority party status because hateful jew baiting like this will keep you there.
February 28th, 2006 at 9:31 amHA HA, Judd is the Jew-baiter, when Bush’s friends the UAE & Saudis are the ones boycotting Israel!
By the way, Jews and Israel are not synonymous, just as Christian and American are not. There are many non-Zionist Jews out here in the real world.
February 28th, 2006 at 9:33 amFatty - I am just pointing out the obvious. Liberals could careless about Israel. PERIOD.
February 28th, 2006 at 9:35 amThe nice thing about being a NeoCon is that you don’t have to THINK.
The point of the post is BushCo’s hypocrisy, of which this is just another example.
Bush wants another 9/11 so he can suspend the Constitution.
February 28th, 2006 at 9:39 amHere’s a good likely quote from Bush ’such a deal has allowed a broader peace in the middle east - the UAE has agreed to establish ties with Israel’.
The type/level of cooperation would matter, I imagine. It is difficult to understand how DPW could boycott them other than by refusing to load Israeli cargo. That would seem to be a bit of a stretch since the state operate Israeli docks. I think it relates to the parent companies activities.
I do believe, however, that the UAE itself boycotts Israel just like post gulf states. In the end, though, it’s difficult to boycott a country with limited exports.
DPW’s parent company is Dubai’s investment fund. It has a number of businesses, a new one which will be DAE, an aerospace firm.
Yah, there’s a tip - Dubai gets mass love because Dubai buys lots of planes. Emirates Airlines has the largest order book of any airline in the world. Hmm, boeing trying to take business from airbus?
I suppose the law would also have to differentiate between companies. I’m sure they can figure out some way to change the power structure of the firm, ie, making DPW it’s own company.
Israel should be supported, but its doubtful that the UAE boycott hurts them in any way.
That law is really an extension of the WTO, which also bans boycotts. Technically, the Arab/Persian/Muslim asian boycott of Danish products is illegal under WTO. Some of those countries are WTO members. The problem is enforcement. The US law is more of a way to get companies who are not in the WTO or when the US doesn’t want to spend tons of time in WTO arbitration.
We are talking about DPW’s parent company as being the investment fund that controls, among other, Emirate Airlines, Dubai Internet City, Dubai Financial District, Dubai Stock Exchange, etc right?
I guess a ‘good’ thing that might result would be Dubai ending whatever boycott they have going, which is probably more symbolic than anything. Until recently Israel was a statist economy. Now they export nice weapons (got to love their Desert Eagles), flowers, and Palestinian goods:)
February 28th, 2006 at 9:40 amPerson of interest, it is “could not care less.” Maybe someday you can become person of basic literacy.
February 28th, 2006 at 9:40 amJohn - maybe someday you can attack the argument and not the grammar. Typical liberal. I guess if my argument was as poor as the left’s, I’d go english teacher too.
February 28th, 2006 at 9:44 amperson of interest –
Its call Hypocrisy …something you righties are FULL of. Dont come on here talkin about being for Israel one minute and against the next. All this story shows is that the NeoCons are two faced hypocrites that want everyone to follow the rules except themselves and their business partners… you really show your partisan ignorance in your post.
February 28th, 2006 at 9:44 amWow, POI…
There are no Liberal Jews who care about Israel? Nice sweeping generalization.
February 28th, 2006 at 9:46 amLet me see if I can find one… oh, me. And, not all Liberal Jews are big fans of International Answer and their ilk. We just don’t think the Neo-con plan for the Middle East is good for Israel or the long-term settlement of the regional security issues.
p.o.i., your comparison of a state-owned company that participates in a commercial boycott against Israel and the First Amendment-protected speech of Sheehan and other US citizens is dishonest. You do support the Constitutional right of all Americans to free speech, don’t you?
February 28th, 2006 at 9:46 amYes, it is true - liberals tend to dislike Israel, or rather their treatment of their neighbors. We also tend to dislike the military aid that Israel gets from us to build their Wall (it’s only a fence in a few places).
Playing the Israeli card is effective though in that it is something some conservatives, some liberals, and most of the politicians are concerned about. Israeli has nukes and their neighbors don’t, at least not yet.
And yes, Jews do not equal Israel but there are alot of Jews in Israel. What’s the point?
The point is that Israeli is the only meaningful ally of the US in the middle east. The fact that the UAE is the next best thing shows alot - that’d be another point I’d make.
And yes, Cindy Sheehan is a serial Israeli basher, but in a broader context in that it’s tied to US foreign policy. I would completely disagree that it’s anti-semitism.
Disagreeing with Israeli policies does not make one an anti-semite.
Those who believe that Israel should not exist, based on some historical reasoning whatever, are irrelevent in that Israeli does exist and will continue to.
When the Arab neighbors attack Israeli, it generally is anti-semitism as the state media loves their hitler era jewish cartoons and stereotypes.
February 28th, 2006 at 9:47 am#10, p.o.i.
It is established constitutional law that corporations and individuals are subject to different first ammendment freedoms.
February 28th, 2006 at 9:49 am11 -
February 28th, 2006 at 9:49 amSo true
“Could care less” is standard redneck usage for just the opposite. Various relatives of mine say it all the time.
February 28th, 2006 at 9:49 amJoel - I support freedom of speech and I am free to criticize Cindy Sheehan’s anti-American and anti-Israel comments.
The left-wing thought police won’t stop me from attacking their lies and anti-American agenda.
February 28th, 2006 at 9:49 amCindy Sheehan slammed Israel? And that makes her an anti-semite? And I suppose that the 66% of the American public who can clearly see W’s incompetence and greed are America-haters, with that “logic”. Seems to me that slamming Israel makes one a friend of Jews, since the Israeli government’s actions are dangerous to Jews worldwide. Person of interest must think we’re as blind and stupid as he and his koolaid-chugging 34 percenters.
We’re not. Take your racism elsewhere.
February 28th, 2006 at 9:49 am#12 - your partisanship is well established, as well.
February 28th, 2006 at 9:50 amRonjazz - you people are the bigots and haters.
February 28th, 2006 at 9:50 am“It is established constitutional law that corporations and individuals are subject to different first ammendment freedoms.”
Uh, James, to the best of my knowledge, the UAE is not currently covered by the US Constitution.
February 28th, 2006 at 9:50 am15 POI
Try pointing out some lies instead of making assertions. You got any links? Qoutes? Where are all these liberal lies? Liberals tend to qoute the rest of the world in their reasoning ..are you saying the whole world is lieing except neocon facists?
February 28th, 2006 at 9:50 amwhatever, poi. carelessness is really one of your side’s things…
February 28th, 2006 at 9:52 am“I support freedom of speech and I am free to criticize Cindy Sheehan’s anti-American and anti-Israel comments.”
Indeed you are. And you are free to make dishonest comparisons between US citizens and state-owned ME companies. The Constitution does protect your right to post ignorant and stupid things.
February 28th, 2006 at 9:53 am[…] over America, neolibertarian heads explode. Posted by Jim Henley @ 9:53 am, Filed under: Main « « Speaking of Frank Gaffney . . . | Main| […]
February 28th, 2006 at 9:53 amLOL so UAE/DPW corp. is anti-Israel too > Bush is craping on everyone over this dirty deal to sell our port operations on the East Coast to them! Impeach Bush now!
February 28th, 2006 at 9:53 am#20 - I’ll give you a little lie. Why are Democrats pouncing on this issue? Because a foreign country is taking over our ports? All our ports are run by foreign countries - well established before W ever came along.
Democrats are playing into people’s fears because Dubai is an Arab country and they are lying about it for cover. You pigs are helping them. Short term, it’s a winner, but long term a real loser. For example, Hillary supports racial profiling of Arab countries. John Zogby might not lie about her poll numbers to help her.
February 28th, 2006 at 9:55 am“An overwhelming majority of American Jews - 73 percent - describe themselves as moderate or liberal; 23 percent label themselves as conservative. Only 19 percent voted for Bush in the 2000 elections”
http://www.jcpa.org/jl/vp509.htm
February 28th, 2006 at 9:55 amSince 1,2,3 are unburdened by logic and reason a couple things should be pointed out to you.
First, Judd is pointing out the inconsistency in the Bush administration policy. You see, with your republican masters, when money is involved their “principles” vanish. And when it comes to following U.S. law, we’ve seen how well the Bush Administration Inc. are about that.
Second, criticism of a government’s policies is not quite the same as anti-semitism. Of course, since most of the Bush lovers think criticism of his policies amounts to anti-americanism, I can see why this is a mystery to you. When Sheehan or others criticize Israel’s policies, it isn’t quite the same as opposing the country’s existence. But that is a bit too fine a distinction for minds as sharp as yours. And if you really believe that UAE loves jews but just hates Israel’s policies, well, may I suggest you visit a local library and read up about how radical islamist governments with strong ties to Bin Laden feel about jews generally.
February 28th, 2006 at 9:55 am25)
That is more assertions ..where is the LIE? You are full of it. I live in Indiana…LOTS of republicans around here… NO ONE likes the ports deal. When people found out that foreign countries were running our ports EVERYONE is saying that NO foreign country should be doing this ..escpecially a country involved with OSAMA.
Once again where is the lie?

February 28th, 2006 at 9:57 am“Democrats are playing into people’s fears because Dubai is an Arab country . . .”
Well, not exactly. You see two of the 9/11 hijackers came from the UAE. And money to support this crime was laundered through state-owned banks in the UAE. And the royalty is known to be friends with bin Laden. So once again, poi, your dishonesty betrays you. Dubai is not just any old Arab country. It has more links to al Qaeda than Iraq ever had. Moron.
February 28th, 2006 at 9:58 amI am a liberal. I support Israel (but deplore their recent policies).
The administration will ignore any law that gets in the way of their schemes. That is the obvious point of thus post.
Do their schemes make sense? he administration, if they didn’t have their heads up their asses, could have avoided having Hamas in control of the Palestinian authority; could have avoided a terrorist breeding ground/civil war/emerging Islamic theocracy in Iraq; creatred ab overstretched US military and a national guard too depleted to do their jobs at home; and on and on and on.
The Bush administration — a bunch of incompetent morons who are really bad for our national security.
Wingnuts — too stupid to see it.
February 28th, 2006 at 9:58 ampoi, you people are the ones eager to shred the Constitution and destroy our democracy, and your lies are daily, and legion. Without corporate ownership of the news media, Bushco would all be behind bars. Billions of American dollars stolen in a trumped-up, illegal, immoral “war” that your “leaders” have no chance of winning, even if they had a goal, a complete failure of national security on /11, and again during hurricane Katrina, abortion rates climbing, poverty rates climbing, jobs disappearing overseas, along with the bank accounts of the biggest companies, sick fundamentalists infecting the schools with biblical buillshit, homophobia and misogyny expanding, innocent Canadian citizens “rendered” for torture from our soil, cuts in veterans’ Affairs and educational funding, and you call me a bigot and hater. i’ll admit it, in 57 years on the planet, I have had pretty serious disagreements with the right wing fools that have hijacked our government, but not until Bush and his gang of criminals has hate been a factor, but you are right, I do hate them, as they are mass murderers and sociopathic torturers, and the people like you who support them are the same as the Good Germans of WW2, blind and stupid pigs who should stand in the docks at the Hague with them. You don’t deserve your citizenship.
February 28th, 2006 at 10:00 am#31 - would you have supported tapping those two UAE terrorists’ phones without a warrant? NO. So STFU and stop pretending that you care about fighting terror. You care about scoring political points and playing to people’s fears.
February 28th, 2006 at 10:02 amThe more you feed it, the more it wants to stay and crap all over the carpet.
February 28th, 2006 at 10:04 am34)
All presidents should have to get warrants. And hopefully AFTER he does he spies on every word spoken by every terrorist. Your high school quality / rush limbaugh quality arguments are embarressing ..I suggest you got flock with your bird of a feather because on here you are lookin more and more ignorant/stupid.
February 28th, 2006 at 10:05 ampoi- it is the norm that in making your “conservative” argument, you mis-state the positions of those you would pit yourself against.
2 points:
1) as stated above, liberals don’t automatically not like Israel. Many of us have very good Israeli friends, having been raised in metropolitain areas. I do. Can you say the same? Do you personally know 1 Israeli? Does that person know your name? Doubt it. It is true, we don’t like the racism that occurs within Israel any more than the racism that occurs in Arab states or here in the US for that metter. It is also true that we don’t like theocratic states. They tend to trample minority religions and viewpoints, which the Orthodox Rabbi’s regularly engage in within their own community. They don’t think liberal or conservative Rabbi’s can preform wedding rights or would they like to allow them to represent a religious viewpoint nationally. Do you like pork? Orthodox Rabbi’s have tried to ban the raising and sale of pork, even for those who aren’t jews in Israel.
So we may support Israel, but that doesn’t mean we like everything about it. Same as here in the US.
2) Cindy Sheehan…I’m sorry, I must have missed something. Where is she anti-semetic? Where is she anti Israel? Where is she anti-American? If you are referring to any points included in #1 above, please refer to my conclusion. Criticism doesn’t mean foe.
It’s a hallmark of your little mind that you equate criticism of a government or organization with being anti. It’s a hallmark of totalitarian states and fascist persons to try to equate criticism with being in the enemies camp.
You sir, are just another pathetic Hitler Youth.
February 28th, 2006 at 10:06 am“#31 - would you have supported tapping those two UAE terrorists’ phones without a warrant? NO.”
Sure. I support wiretaps if they are court approved. My objection to Bush Administration wiretaps is that they violate the law providing for court oversight. You are so dishonest that you lie about the issue.
“So STFU and stop pretending that you care about fighting terror. You care about scoring political points and playing to people’s fears.”
No, its you that’s pretending. You can’t even be honest about the wiretap issue when you use it to change the subject, once I pointed out your dishonesty over the topic of this thread. Lies heaped upon lies, poi. That’s what you’re about.
February 28th, 2006 at 10:06 amI would support tapping their phones WITH a warrant. That’s the law. And it wouldn’t matter either way, since Bush is so damned incompetent that even memos and daily briefings couldn’t wake him out of his slumber. Since they can’t do one damn thing right except steal elections and money, why should they not obey the law? Your side was only too happy to use the law as a club against a president who actually did his job while getting a blow job, and you all look the fools now because of it. You’re proving your lawlessness by your statements. You really would be happier in North Korea, where they do things your way.
February 28th, 2006 at 10:07 amOf course, POI won’t admit that the main reason he and his evangelical buddies back Israel’s Likud Party (while doing everything they can to undermine Israel’s Labour Party) is because the evangelical Christians want Israel and the Jews to be destroyed in Armageddon.
This is but one of many reasons why Jewish Americans are opposed to Bush’s Iraq madness in even greater numbers than most other Americans — and are horrified at Bush in general, especially Bush’s determination to back anti-semitic preachers with America’s tax dollars. (Even the more conservative Jewish leaders are backing away from Bush and Bush’s nutcase base.)
February 28th, 2006 at 10:07 ampoi (continued) we would support tapping of anyones phones WITH A WARRENT as directed by law.
February 28th, 2006 at 10:08 amUAE, per Bush’s own State Dept. Human Rights report:
“Traditional rule in the emirates generally is patriarchal, with political allegiance defined in terms of loyalty to the tribal leaders, to the leaders of the individual emirates, and to the leaders of the federation. There are no democratically elected institutions or political parties. There are no general elections…”
“Citizens do not have the right to change their government. The Government restricted freedom of speech and of the press. The press practiced self-censorship. The Government restricted free assembly and association, and it restricted religious freedom by banning proselytizing of Muslims. The Government restricted the rights of workers, many of whom were not protected by labor laws. There are no labor unions. There were poor working conditions for some laborers, failure to pay wages, and abuse of foreign domestic servants in an economy in which 98 percent of the private sector workforce is foreign. There were no independent human rights organizations. Trafficking in women as prostitutes and very young foreign boys as camel jockeys continue to be serious problems, despite government pledges to end these practices.”
Ladies and gentlemen–our allies? Or the country the Neocons should be suggesting we invade next in the Forced March of Freedom?
February 28th, 2006 at 10:08 amHey, calm down folk, I did not think anyone was Jew baiting.
I was about to say Thanks for keeping the story alive when I saw this story on the boards.
Lotta morons still think the Port Deal is gonna go through.
I was happy to see Lautenberg also has a bill to protect ports.
Here’s the Lautenberg bill
Here’s the Senate email list
Let’s go to work and stop this moronic deal.
Thanks folks, have a nice day.
February 28th, 2006 at 10:09 amAnd meanwhile, note that Bush-worshiping POI wasn’t able to disprove the solid fact that the UAE-owned-and-operated Dubai Ports World not only refuses to recognize Israel’s right to exist, but is participating in a boycott of Israel.
February 28th, 2006 at 10:10 amLook for North Korea to be tapped to run the airports, and poi will have no objections. His confusion comes about by the decision he has to make whether to put his head all the way up his own or Bush’s ass.
February 28th, 2006 at 10:11 amNot all liberals find common cause wih the Palestinians. I think both sides have done heinous things and both sides have suffered and it is time for them to realize it, put it all behind them and find a way to peace. The UAE’s boycott of Israeli products does not help that. Arab countries still haven’t dealt with Israel’s very existence, and, until they accept it, we just have to limit our economic involvement.
The Bushies definitely have double standards, tho. And there’s no way to cover up the fact that Dubai’s ties to terrorism, to al Qaeda, to the 9/11 attacks, and to anti-Israel sentiment are far stronger than Saddam Hussein’s ever were.
February 28th, 2006 at 10:12 amMinnieB9: POI is trying the old “distract from the facts” trick. The cure is to continually show the facts he doesn’t want us to see.
February 28th, 2006 at 10:12 amAnd here’s Bob Menendez’s web site, he is of course the spearheading leader against the moronic port deal.
Thanks again.
February 28th, 2006 at 10:12 amI am a liberal who supports Israel and I consider this to be a major, major point.
Conservatives can claim they support Israel all they want but the President’s actions are going to speak louder than his words to me. It’s wrong to do business with any nation that boycotts Israel and refuses to recognize its right to exist.
February 28th, 2006 at 10:13 amPhoenix woman, thanks for the info. I will keep it in mind.

February 28th, 2006 at 10:20 amPoint Of Sh*t: Under FISA, *ANYBODY* could’ve gotten a WARRANT to tap
the UAE terrorists EVEN AFTER THE FACT.
Fascists, like Bush, and their slavish supporters, like YOU, want to be able
to tap anyone, anywhere, anytime for any reason (including Oppo Research
for POLITICAL campaigns) with no oversight or consequences for foul ups.
Your strawman libbruls who want terrorists to be able to whatever they
want simply don’t exist. That you think they do shows just how simple
minded you are. Liberals believe in DUE PROCESS. They believe in ALL of
the Bill of Rights, not just the 2nd. I hope someday you get mistaken for
a criminal or terrorist so you can feel what it’s like to not receive DUE
PROCESS.
They don’t have DUE PROCESS in UAE, either. How did you retards go so
February 28th, 2006 at 10:23 amquickly from “if you’re friends of terrorists and we make no distinction
b/w citizens and their harboring gummints” like Bush circa 2002 to “sure,
let a Theocratic Oligarchy with ties to Bin Laden obtain visas to live and
work in the USA’s port towns”? It’s all about the Benjamins, and your real
desire for another 9/11 so you can have your fascist One Party State (and
emulate your pals in the UAE).
“jew baiting like this will keep you there.”

Comment by ElectricBassPlayer
I agree with BassPlayer in essence … but think it’s not unlikely that not if but when there’s a crisis related to the port operations by this UAE owed company it wont be long before yoou’ll be hearing Bush and the other Risk game playing international murders claiming that now UAE is our enemy and they must take military action (thus invading and occupying another “game piece location”. Remember all the enemy’s we’ve been presented with over the long run were just prior to there being attacked, allies of our’s. Think of the picture of Rumsfeld with his arm around Saddamn Hussein, or more to the point look at the hundreds of millions we funneled to Osama bin Laden to arm and motivate them against the Russian military. Noreiaga was very useful when Iran-contra wanted to import drugs into major metropolitan areas of the United States to skim drug prifits to fund illegally declared wars the U.S. sponsored because congress wouldnt approve it.
February 28th, 2006 at 10:31 am#31 - would you have supported tapping those two UAE terrorists’ phones without a warrant? NO. So STFU and stop pretending that you care about fighting terror. You care about scoring political points and playing to people’s fears.
“STFU” is not generally considered a valid debate technique.
Using it pretty much makes it clear that you have no facts to present to support your position.

Bushitler can do no wrong.
February 28th, 2006 at 10:40 amPOI - “Democrats are playing into people’s fears because Dubai is an Arab country and they are lying about it for cover.”
LOL Democrats playing into people’s fears? Wholly crap man. Let’s get this straight shall we. “Saddam has WMD and will use them against us.” “Do we wait for a mushroom cloud or get Saddam now?” “Saddam IS al-quaeda.” “Put your savings in stocks or you won’t have anything when you retire.” “You better clean up your act or God will make a disaster out of your city.”
POI, you can’t possibly believe the Democrats are fear mongering and be blind to the fear mongering of the Almighty NeoCons…. well obviously you can, but you appear stupid in doing so.
February 28th, 2006 at 10:46 amThe ReichWingNuts are holding on tightly to their lies and deceptions. But Amerika may finally be waking up to a few facts surrounding King George.
…the Bush administration has faced increasing sectarian violence and fears of civil war in Iraq as well as strong bipartisan congressional opposition to a deal allowing an Arab state-owned company to operate six key U.S. ports.
According to the poll, 70 percent believe the Dubai Ports World transaction should not be allowed to go through while only 21 percent did not see the ports deal as a problem…

And of course the UAE does this.
February 28th, 2006 at 10:59 amPOI is someone who will never spew anything but what Bush tells him to. I was listening to Air America last night and a Republican caller called up and was defending Bush. The question was asked:
I was watching the inspectors on the ground in Iraq plowing missles, while the president was at the same time telling me that Sadam was not allowing weapons inspectors into the country. Am I suppose to believe my lying eyes or Bush? He said Bush.
This is the mindless zombies that this party has. They will follow no matter what the FACTS tell them.
Sorry, POI but you and your hatred are loosing. Just look at the polls….. 34% approval and 75% of the troops want us out of Iraq. Bush your doing a heckofajob.

Comment by Feudal Press
The Filthy Left are in bed with the Islamofascist. Both hate Israel. Therefore it is characteristically hypocritical of the Filthy Left via Judd’s post to make much ado about the UAE’s corporate satellite being involved in a boycott of Israel as if it were a genuine reason for being against the deal.
As a matter of fact the entirety of Think Communist’s position on the Port contract is hypocritical since in every other issue they fall squarely on the side of the Islamist threat to our country. How’s that?

Well thought out IRI! I see your point.
February 28th, 2006 at 11:41 am“Judd - real classy. Play the Israel card. You NEVER once criticized Cindy Sheehan and other liberal Democrats when they slammed Israel. But now that you need to attack Bush, you roll out the ole anti-Sem charge.
An ounce of intellectual honesty could take you a long way. Enjoy minority party status because hateful jew baiting like this will keep you there.”
I think you fail to grasp nuance, POI. Here’s the argument:
1. The US has laws against doing business with any foreign entity which participates in the Arab boycott of Israel.
2. The entity in question participates in said boycott.
3. Ergo, it is against US law to do business with this entity.
Is this “jew baiting”? Look, whether we agree with the policies of Israel or not, and I’m not aware of any Cindy Sheehan Shenanigans re: hatred of Israel. If she made some comments on slanted US policies toward Israel, fine; and the law in question is certainly one. But it’s the law nonetheless. Keep drinking your Kool Aid and watching the Administration break laws.
February 28th, 2006 at 11:42 amDP World’s announcement is nothing more than playing demagoguery to the UAE public opinion (and the larger Middle East public) arising from the outcry over the port deal.
It really goes to the heart of the port deal, that a state owned corporation is indeed a state actor.
February 28th, 2006 at 11:43 amMe think it is more about the Bush family that the United States of America and National Security, or anything else.
The multi-million, if not billions to Carlyle Group, the Bush Sr Presidential library, Neil Bush company, etc., etc.,…
Bush family business as usual.
It is great if the UAE is helping in terrorism, have they contributed funds to rebuild Iraq or how about funds to rebuild are devastated Gulf coast? It appears they just let us dock our ships. Is that it? That is called helping in the war in terrorism, when they contributed so much to the creation of it! It is too bad the company is state owned, which further complicates this. It didn’t help that this arrangement was done in an odd underhanded manner and not applying the law. In fact future record keeping is going to be kept not on US soil, but elsewhere so they can hide. Should we really reward a corporation owned by a country that created two of the hijackers and a country that laudered money? Have they changed anything so money can’t be laudered, so they won’t create new terrorists, and they’ll stop current ones? The points below (from thinkprogress), have they been addressed:
– The UAE was one of three countries in the world to recognize the Taliban as the legitimate government of Afghanistan.
– The UAE has been a key transfer point for illegal shipments of nuclear components to Iran, North Korea and Lybia.
– According to the FBI, money was transferred to the 9/11 hijackers through the UAE banking system.
– After 9/11, the Treasury Department reported that the UAE was not cooperating in efforts to track down Osama Bin Laden’s bank accounts.

NeoCon Architect Declares NeoCon Movement a Failure
Says Iraq War a Mistake, Compares Bush Policies to ‘Leninism’

One of the original Neocon architects and a signer of the infamous PNAC letter, Francis Fukuyama, says the movement has failed and has “evolved into something I can no longer support,” according to this report.
Further, he makes what can only be seen as an exceedingly uncomfortable — yet perfectly apt –comparison between the Bush Administration policies and … Leninism.

Lawrence B. Wilkerson was Chief of Staff at the Department of State from August 2002 to January 2005.
An excerpt from a recent interview on PBS 2/03/06:
DAVID BRANCACCIO: We’ve been talking grand policy. The then director of the CIA, George Tenent, Vice President Cheney’s deputy Libby, told you that the intelligence that was the basis of going to war was rock solid. Given what you now know, how does that make you feel?
LAWRENCE WILKERSON: It makes me feel terrible. I’ve said in other places that it was– constitutes the lowest point in my professional life. My participation in that presentation at the UN constitutes the lowest point in my professional life.
I participated in a HOAX on the American people, the international community and the United Nations Security Council. How do you think that makes me feel? Thirty-one years in the United States Army and I more or less end my career with that kind of a blot on my record? That’s not a very comforting thing.

I don’t think it was “chump change”, and I’m not defending the deal at all. Just want all the facts out there.
Unfortunately, the real story is: BushCo Cronyism and piss-poor management of ANYTHING by this administration. Nobody knew WTH was going on, and the deal basically got rubber stamped because Snow had recent ties to the company (probably made quite a bit on the sale of his old company to the Dubai company) These were supposed to be the “adults” coming to Washington to clean things up. Well, if they ran a business like they run the Presidency, it would have collapsed long ago. See: any business ever fronted by GWB.
