"The United Arab Emirates gave the Bush administration $100 million to help victims of Hurricane Katrina weeks before a state-owned company there sought U.S. approval for its ports deal."

Ah. I was wondering why Bush was backing this thing so much. Wonder where the money really went? Hmm, well, the Crawford ranch wasn't all that far from the eye, maybe the claim is that brush was damaged and Bush needs the money for "pain and suffering"?

LOL...I thought they gave the money for humanitarian reasons.

Bush is going to roast on this one.
