Who do you think the U.S. entity is that will control our ports

[clydefrand]

other than Halliburton and Carlyle group? This whole episode today has me wondering why Dubai gave up so easily so early? Were there no U.S. companies bidding on this deal? I wonder how many reporters are trying to get to the bottom of this?

1. Well, duh . . . . . .

2. Because the Emir, Unlike Bush, Is A Realist

The Emir can read the writing on the wall, deal with facts, and actually knows how to run a business and make a profit. But then, anyone could do better than BushCo!

3. Leadership is what we need. At the very least, honesty.

No pickles, please.

4. Dubai Ports World - America, LLC

They'll just call an attorney in Delaware and the new UAE owned, American based corporation will be established before lunchtime tomorrow.

5. It will be Helliburton.

Cheney and Rove masterminded this from the start.

[Sapere aude]

6. It will still be Dubai with an American front company.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

Well, we can rest assured that it won't be the common people.

10. Maybe it will be a company owned by Bill Clinton?

That would be a hoot.

[Ian David]

7. They'll outsource it to a faith-based group

The Unification Chruch, perhaps.

This newly formed subsidiary of the Carlyle Group has sprung to life virtually overnight... :eyes:

They've got a lot of time on their hands these days, I hear.

14. My understanding is that no US companies are in this business

so there were probably not any US companies bidding on this deal.

[Disturbed]

16. Singapore the only other bidder on 21 ports?

I wonder if a that would've been opposed in such a heavy way?

[madokie]

[brmdp3123]

18. Who do you think that it should be?
