The deal between Doncasters Group and Dubai International Capital got the green light today from President Bush. The deal was scrutinized by CFIUS and the Pentagon. Congress (for now) seems okay with the deal. According to the Washington Post http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/04/28/AR2006042800748.html
"This investigation was a significant improvement over what happened before," said House Homeland Security Chairman Peter T. King, R-N.Y. "It's been much more thorough, much more detailed."
Even Chuckie Schumer is okay with this deal. Per the WaPo... "There are two differences between this deal and the Dubai ports deal," he said in a statement. "First, this went through the process in a careful, thoughtful way; and second, this is a product not a service, and the opportunity to infiltrate and sabotage is both more difficult and more detectable."
Of course Schumer is okay with this deal. He doesn't have a horse in THIS race -unlike the P&O deal with Dubai Ports World. Schumer was the prime contact for an Eller & Co. representative, Joseph A. Muldoon. Schumer started the portgate hysteria after receiving information from Muldoon. Of course, this was after Schumer had received campaign contributions from Mr. Muldoon in 1999 ($1000) and 2003 ($1000).
Joseph Muldoon Jr and Joseph Muldoon III registered in March 2006 as lobbyists for Eller & Co. Eller & Co are "in the running" for the American ports that Dubai Ports World have on the market. Joseph Muldoon Jr has served as a lobbyists for many other financial organizations. Greenpoint Financial (aka Greenpoint Bank), one of Muldoon's clients from 1998 to 2004, chipped in $17,000 to Chuck Schumer's 2000 campaign.
But remember, Chuckie only had our national security interests at heart when he opposed the deal.

If this had been Kerry's idea, we never would have heard from Chuckie, the 'patriotic' socialist.

One day I'll learn this html crap.....
Schumer- Portgate Update Ping
We are indeed fortunate to have such a tower of non-partisan integrity as Senator Schumer around to protect our national security and give President Bush the okay sign when he stumbles on the rare right move.
Okay, that's all the sarcasm I've got.
That will be the day!
Schumer also doesn't want to jeopardize any potential donations to his Democrat Senatorial Campaign Committee from Boeing, or Siemens, or Honeywell, three large clients of Doncasters.
"This investigation was a significant improvement over what happened before," said House Homeland Security Chairman Peter T. King, R-N.Y. "It's been much more thorough, much more detailed."
BWAAAHAAAA!!! Hey, Pete, you terrorist symp you! The UAE owns both DPW and now Doncasters.
THERE'S NO DIFFERENCE IN THE STRUCTURE OF THE DEALS!!!
You were played for a sucker by Schumer.
Schmuck.
Only when it benefits Schmuck and the other clowns who opposed the DPW ports deal, do they green light it.
Schumer is a crook.
The meds I take wont let me drink anymore. BUT, should we ever be so fortunate as to see him in handcuffs for his trip to prison, I will set my meds down and buy a very expensive bottle of wine.
The saddest part? Some people will still blindly agree with Chucky because a handful of faux "conservative" fossils still pretending it is the 1920's do as well.
I will do the same!
Sean Vannity was also leading the charge every day on his show...but for some reason this deal didn't bother him.
Schumer is nothing but a pathetic, hypocritical hack.
One ethnic group at a time, Jackson!
Hannity's too busy whipping up a frenzy over the Mexican boycott on Monday. He can't be expected to take on the Arabs too!!
Apparently, the Arabs can't be trusted to shuffle paperwork after ships are unloaded, but they can be trusted to supply parts for the Joint Strike Fighter.

The ports deal was pure politics, with the Republican cowards in Congress playing lap dog to Schumer and Hillary.
I'm here in Southeast GA and very close to the Doncasters GA site. Not a peep out of anyone here - not even in the local county paper. Of course, our Congressfool, John Barrow, has done his best to make this an issue but he's an idiot.
