What American "company" will Bush choose as partner in "compromise"?
The latest Republican plan is to recruit an American Company to be the partner in a "compromise" so the Dubai ports deal can go thru? But will it work? The Republican Party is split down the middle on this issue and Bush and Cheney do not wish to turn it loose. They want desperately, for whatever reason, to have Dubai in charge of our ports? Do they choose Halliburton or Bechtel?

1. Enron.
Ken Lay really needs the $$ for his defense, and his pal Georgie won't let him down.

2. It doesn't matter
Any company they pick will be a bunch of rat bastards or Bush wouldn't have picked them.

3. Hellaburden or a subsidiary thereof.

Or some company whose controlling shares are owned by Carlyle.

4. I think it's been decided that Hallibuton is the only company in the world
that can do anything. No bids need be submitted because only Halliburton is capable. :shrug: Nobody seems to object to them. Democrats seem quite at ease with no-bid contracts and the rip off of billions by them.
