The officials, who were granted anonymity so they could speak freely about something the president had not yet announced, said that the final details had not yet been set and that Mr. Bush might put conditions on the transaction to keep military technology in the United States.
But his action is almost certain to attract scrutiny in Congress, because of the political furor that erupted over the administration's approval of a deal earlier this spring that would have given another Dubai-owned company, Dubai Ports World, leases to operate several American port terminals through its acquisition of a British company, the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company.
Dubai Ports agreed to drop the port deal after it became clear that Republicans were abandoning Mr. Bush and opposing the takeover.
In this case, the plants in question are owned by Doncasters Group Ltd., a British company that is being purchased for $1.2 billion from the Royal Bank of Scotland Group by Dubai International Capital, which is owned by the United Arab Emirate government.

Unbelievable. He's going to destroy the Reublican Party at the most crucial time in our history since the Civil War or more correctly, the War of Northern Agression.
Not to mention the sheer insanity of having Muslims run our Defense Production.
I don't give a Damn if he is Impeached. He deserves it as much as the Bent One did. Sad, sad, sad.
Bttt.
BWAAAHAAAAHAAAA!!!
One is forced to wonder how little you know about other issues as well.

Give it a break you loser....had the south won, and the USA permanently split, both countries would today be mediocre powers.
Stuff it , Scalawag!
the south is our south now, not yours...the south belongs to those from the north, you natives are a ever shrinking minority
I'm sure if we'd sold military plants to the sovs during the last 50 years, everyone would have thought that sensible too...
The GOP is doing nothing but shooting themselves in the foot day after day and hoping no one sees it to catch them in the light of day.
You may at some point wish us dummies had heard of it before now.
Yea, they've only been selling out our country for a little a while. Decades. Practically unoticed.
Too bad. Enough of us dummies might have been able to save this joint. Now it might be too late.
Its all over but the crying.
But I'm here until the bitter end.
The next election is going to be very interesting.
