Where did I say Congress had approved it; it's the committee Congress set up to do these kinds of investigations. It is set up to be bipartisan and out of the reach of politics.

It started looking at this deal early last November; it's a done deal.

The committee is out of Treasury, not Congress. Established by executive order, not congressional thingamajig

Again nopardons said a congressional committe had approved the deal last November. When I asked for a link to that you said it was all over the place and I should be embarrassed for not knowing about it. Well if that's true then I'd like a link please because to my knowledge it was only CFIUS and not Congress who went along with it.

LOL.

Just like the Federal Election Commission, I suppose.

I still want to know why people complaining about this "deal" think the United States government has any say at all on the purchase of a British corporation by a (government-owned, but that's irrelevant) Dubai corporation.

Do they believe we're not only the World's Policeman but also the World's Securities and Exchange Commission?
