Had the CIA targeted bin Laden, half the royal family would have been wiped out as well, he said.

WASHINGTON - President Bush was unaware of the pending sale of shipping operations at six major U.S. seaports to a state-owned business in the United Arab Emirates until the deal already had been approved by his administration, the White House said Wednesday…

This is outstanding news!

I hope the President continues on and begins to sell off our national parks, public forests, mineral rights, chemical companies, petrochemical deposits, nuclear power plants and all of our electrical infrastructure including the Hoover Dam and everything else of value our nation holds sacred to help pay down that federal debt which as of February 17th was $8,248,495,902,663.05

He should auction off The Liberty Bell and especially The Statue of Liberty. That thing’s FRENCH anyway.

P.S. The Wall Street Journal and the Carlyle Group says this deal should go through and that’s all I need to know.

James, I was sort of surprised how quickly my post was deleted. I’m not sure many freepers even had a chance to see it.

there are actually 7 royal families of the UAE. the E stands for “emirates.” each emirate has its own emir (which is the arab word for prince) and it’s own royal family. the UAE is just a confederation of 7 previously independent emirates

and, like many gulf states, each royal family is huge. multiple wives will do that. so i have a hard time 1/2 of the members of all 7 royal families could ever be the same place at any time. we’re talking about hundreds of people
