CALL IT "DEBBIE DOES DUBAI"

Just when you thought you might have a handle on the UAE ports deal, along comes Niel Bush (the Billy Carter of the Bush family) who is in bed with entire Dubai political establishment.

Neil Bush is a frequent visitor to and paid speaker in Dubai, showing up there right after 9/11 trying to get investors for his failed Ignite! educational software company. While there, "[Neil] Bush held talks with Dubai's Crown Prince Sheikh Mohammad bin Rashid al-Maktoum and Information Minister Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed al-Nahyan on the 'world economy in light of recent events, as well as higher education in universities," Arab American Business reported. Bush was in Dubai so much that he e-mailed his wife of his desire for a divorce from his Dubai hotel room
It smells. Debbie Schlussel has the goods, actually the bads and a MUST READ complete with sources, natch. Keep in mind that there is no evidence yet of any wrong doing, but this is trouble....... Thoroughly vetted my ass. And oh yeah, also prominent in Dubai high rolling circles are Clintonistas Sandy Berger, Al (it's getting hotter) Gore, Tipper Gore (there's pictures of all this, guys), former CIA director Dr. Robert Gates (see how the "vetting" process goes?), and , and, and, get ready---Dr. Howard Dean, yes THAT Howard Dean. All are here courtesy of Debbie. There's lots more from both parties complete with pictures

Can you please explain how this is some nefarious BushLadenCarlyleBurton conspiracy when another company from Singapore nearly won the bidding war for the British company?

How do you know they "nearly" won. This cozyness with high placed U.S. officialdom with Dubai leadership only "looks" bad. It's just politically stupid, as this entire affair is politically stupid.
