TigerPaw,

re:"That's because Bush's Carlyle group already IPO'd the United Defense stock and reaped their profit"

Do you think that when the Carlyle Group sold United Defense shares during its IPO (I believe the Company sold 9M and Carlyle sold 13M), they sold all of their shares? If you think that, you are an idiot. From what I have found, the Carlyle still holds at least 24 million shares of the Company (which is greater than the number of shares in the float).
