IF the Republicans were doing oversight, then the whole Dubai port deal stuff would not have happened. They would have known about it. However, Republican Rep. Deborah Pryce (OH-15) seemed to blame the White House in this quote from the News Observer: "The administration made this plan and then popped it at all of us," House Republican Conference Chairman Deborah Pryce of Ohio fumed.
I heard this on Al Franken today: The Carlisle Group was the agent for the Dubai Port deal and would have gotten $104 million dollars at the signing. (FYI: The Carlisle Group has close business ties with former Prez. George H.W. Bush). Surprise! Surprise! Surprise! Once again this proves that with the Bush Family, money wins over national security.
