How does this make sense?

The Bush Administration plans to allow a company based in the United Arab Emirates to run six major ports in this country.

Yeah I know. WTF. How does this make sense?

The UAE was used by some of the 9/11 terrorists as both an operational and a financial base.

Yep. BushCo sure loves him some 9/11.

I guess this means I really should finish my copy of House of Bush/House of Saud.

With a nod to esteemed BARBARian colleague and Most Benevolent Despot King of Zembla for the link.
