1. LOL! The most popular parlor game of the day!

It was interesting that the announcement used the term U.S. "entity", though. What exactly is an "entity" of the U.S.?

[RedEarth]

2. Combination of Halliburton and Carlyle

3. I voted "other"

because KBR will actually get the contract.

4. I want to know WHY each State doesn't buy it's own port?

I heard something about a southern port being owned by the State and they were doing quite well. Making a 30% profit! So, why couldn't each of the 6 States with ports in this deal just buy them?

7. Carnival Cruise Lines.

This way they won't have to pay to park.

5. All American Ports, Inc

President, principal stockholder and CEO: Prince Bandar.

9. Whoa Nellie - You got That Nail On The Head! (nt)

6. There are many NeoCon embedded companies that will be planning

to benefit from the "No Foreigners" furor that they created.

[High Plains]

13. And that many DUers aided and abetted in the last two weeks.

8. Halliburton Is Behind??? WTF??? (nt)

[Junkdrawer]

10. Ever hear of "Six Companies" and the Hoover Dam...

There will be a consortium and Halliburton will be included...

11. And since they are going to have the deal "forced" on them, tax

breaks and cash subsidies from Congress will have to be part of the package

12. I have a distinct feeling we have all been

set up. The media is going on and on about Republicans bucking the Bush WH. Do they really think that? Since I trust nothing that comes from this administration I wouldn't put it past them to have caused this mess on purpose. There is no bottom to the corruption barrel they are sitting on.

14. vote for either Eagle Global Logistics FZCO/ Freight International

or possibly MEDAS Co.

Of course, there could be a new front company being "built" as we type..
