    The US Ports thing is getting more and more interesting....

    Bush threatened to finally use his veto powers on something to prevent anyone from blocking this.

    Then Congress tied the block to a spending bill.

    Now, its all gonna disappear cause DP World have apparently agreed to sell the control of the 6 ports to an American-owned entity.

    Thus far, I've heard only one name mentioned as to who it might be sold to.

    Yup. You've guessed it....Haliburton.

    Nothing to see here. Move Along. Move Along.

    I am surprised they haven't brought up how Haliburton had an office in Iran only until recently (when everyone realised they did though a loophole)

    You can almost imagine the faux shock in the halliburton office in Iran

    turns to Mahmoud Ahmadinejad;
