Did he learn nothing from the ports fiasco?
Anger over President Bush's plan to allow Dubai Ports World to take over management of six US ports has barely subsided and now he's saying OK to a sale of Defense contractors to ANOTHER Dubai company?!?!
Because the plants make turbine blades for tanks and aircraft, the deal was reviewed by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States, which sent it on to Mr. Bush himself for a decision, a step used only when the potential security risks or political considerations are particularly acute.......Representative John Barrow, Democrat of Georgia, likened the Doncasters deal to "outsourcing" part of the nation's industrial-military complex.
Oh sure... I think this is a great idea. One has to wonder when and if el Presidente will ever tire of shooting himself in the foot.
