It's Always the Same Answer

When the question of 'why' is asked of the Bush administration, the answer is always ultimately the same....Halliburton. It all makes perfect sense now:

A revamped deal to allow Dubai Ports World to take over six major U.S. ports - including Manhattan's cruise ship terminal and the Newark, N.J., container depot - would have to be something along the lines of the Marine One contract.

British- and Italian-owned AgustaWestland had to take on Maryland-based Lockheed Martin to win the contract to build the president's helicopter last year.
"A lot of people are talking about this, a subsidiary or a deal like that," a congressional source confirmed.

One snag to such a deal may be that sources say the U.S. company best equipped to partner with DP World is Halliburton, once headed by Vice President Dick Cheney.

Just when I think this administration has ceased to amaze me, they pull another corrupted rabbit out of their hat. I'm reeling. 'Nuff said.
