dot.com bubble to outspend the Saudi Arabians in the USA and finally unshackle the USA from invasive petro dollars. That threatened the US economy with their dominance.

I'm think Bush tax cuts are all about make Muricans so rich they can out invest the Saudis. So why ports for Dubai?

Unless Bush investors don't give a fig about "America the Investment Opportunity". I don't get why they are encouraging.. petro dollars.. unless they think perhaps Dupai is chinese for Iranian oil money. Hook up those rich mulahs in Iran to USA economy and somehow mitigate radical islam? Has that ever worked?

I'm not agreeing - I'm trying to empathize with them to figure out what, why, where, when & how.

1. I think they take their tax cuts and park their money offshore.
I don't see them trying to save America at all.

I agree with you.

4. I cannot wait for the reporting next week. We will be informed on what
it all means. I thought Clinton was against so much overwhelming petro dollars invading the USA and causing inflation and outdoing investing americans.

What are these cooks up to?

3. So are they looking to unload stock somehow in this? Or just tie
Iranian money through Dubai to the USA?

And why - after the Almighty dollar didn't bring peace to Iraq (why is that - why is it you need public servants like an army and police and shit?) in its most antiseptic form... it failed in Iraq.

Why do they keep trying to use monetary & fiscal might. Cause it turns out the world could actually turn off the USA in two seconds flat.. it just has not occured to Europeans, Chinese, or others to do that (except for Opec - but dam doesn't that pony ride again and again in terms of "deals").
