Too distracted for the Dubai/weapons sale? When we invade Iran ...
will we be paying attention then when yet another Bush pal company profits?

And what is distracting America while Bush sneaks the defense companies sale to Dubai through?

Immigration?

Rove?

1. Just unbelieveable. Why the MSM isn't screaming about this too.
There is something wierd about how the US need around $2 billion a day of dollars to come into the US. I've seen it as $2 billion in investments each day - either stocks, bonds, loans, or buying businesses. And if foreigners are buying businesses to keep the economy afloat - what happens when the US is entirely foreign owned? There is so much rotten in the gov't - especially on the repub side of the fence.

2. The MSM is part of their corporate complex, the mouthpiece
They are not going to say squat, and ruin their cash flow.

3. they only cover important news when we make them.....
They will only do gardening tips, diet fads, make-up breakthroughs and movie reveiws.

They cover news when they can't ignore it.

4. If we're so foreign-owned, doesn't that make immigration a moot
point? Maybe we'll all be emigrated soon.
