Wow! It’s amazing what a few days brings in the form of red flags on this whole American ports deal.

The New York Post (NOT the “New York Times”, but the CONSERVATIVE newspaper owned by Rupert Murdoch of FOX News) has an article that describes a document recently released by the U.S. military. The document was one of a batch captured from Al-Quaeda in the war on terror and recently declassified by the Center for Combating Terrorism at West Point.

The document from 2002 was a letter to the UAE and contained the following:

“You are well aware that we have infiltrated your security, censorship and monetary agencies, along with other agencies that should not be mentioned…

“Your homeland is exposed to us. There are many vital interests that will hurt you if we decided to harm them…

I said it in an earlier post that there was something mighty fishy about Bush’s stance on threatening the veto on a possible bill that might block the takeover of American ports by the UAE. There was way too much passion in his reaction.

That, combined with the fact that he didn’t even know about the impending deal until it hit the newspapers, tells me, again, that something’s up.

And, you know what? Turns out I was right to be suspicious. Why? Because there is a money trail relationship between the Bush family and the United Arab Emirates.

Here’s the story, as excerpted from the transcript of the Lou Dobbs Show earlier this week:

This is your chance to open the floor on any subject, provided it is a cogent line of thought. Any endless ramblings will be deleted.

There are three kinds of politicians I don’t like:

1) Those who are stupid.
2) Those who think I’m stupid.
3) Those who are stupid and think I’m just as stupid to fall for their bullsh**.

This is the case this country is faced with now from President George W. Bush with this recent issue of the managment of American ports being taken over by a company owned by the United Arab Emirates. I now believe he is not only stupid, but he actually thinks everyone else is just as stupid as he is.

Bush’s reaction to the members of Congress who questioned the deal (“If you pass that legislation to block this deal, I’ll veto it!”) has all the signs of someone more intimately involved in the outcome of this matter than what appears on the surface.

I previously reported about the article in the Kansas City Star regarding a likely new investigation into Jack Abramoff using non-profit 501(c)(3) organizations to launder money from Indian casinos to people like [tag]Ralph Reed[tag].

In that Star article (see post below), Ralph is quoted as denying he ever knew the true source of the funds that were being laundered through Grover Norquist’s Americans for Tax Reform organization to the Alabama Christian Coalition, and then to Ralph’s own pocket.

There are some obvious questions that should be asked by the panel. One would be “How/Why did this laundering operation have to take place if Ralph thought the money was all ‘legit?”

The Kansas City Star is reporting that a new senate panel is looking into the possibility that Jack Abramoff, through his business associations with Grover Norquist and Ralph Reed, helped take advantage of non-profits by using them to launder money from his Indian casino clients to recipients like Ralph Reed.
