From the Financial Times:
Bill Clinton, former US president, advised top officials from Dubai two weeks ago on how to address growing US concerns over the acquisition of five US container terminals by DP World.
It came even as his wife, Senator Hillary Clinton, was leading efforts to derail the deal.
Mr Clinton, who this week called the United Arab Emirates a “good ally to America”, advised Dubai’s leaders to propose a 45-day delay to allow for an intensive investigation of the acquisition, according to his spokesman.
On Sunday, DP World agreed with the White House to undertake the lengthy review, a move which has assuaged some of the opposition from the US Congress.
However, Mrs Clinton remains a leading voice against the deal, and this week proposed legislation to block it, arguing that the US could not afford to “surrender our port operations to foreign governments”.
Senator Clinton, of course, is angling for the Presidency and sees an opportunity to get to the right of President Bush and burnish her national security credentials. Meanwhile, Bill is only consulting.
So:
- Where is the MSM accusing the Clintons of hypocrisy?
- Michael Moore accusing Bill of being chummy with autocrats?
- Do the Clintons really believe in ANYTHING, truly?
