UAE Gave $1 Million to Bush Library
Do you remember "Occam's Razor?" It is a rule that scientists use when they analyze information. My version of Occam's Razor is that when you have several ways of explaining something, choose the simplest and most obvious explanation.
Here we have the UAE giving $1 million to Geo. Bush senior's library. Now the President is willing to go against the advice of the Republican Leadership and threatens to veto a bill that would slow down the deal that will let the UAE, that owns Dubai Port Co. take over management of 6 ports in the USA from London-based Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Co.
This would be the President's first veto. Do we need to look any further for an explanation of the Bush's actions? A million may not be much, but could that donation be the tip of a monetary ice-berg?
This is going to be a difficult one to explain with complexity, in my opinion. UAE Gave $1 Million to Bush Library
