DP World Chairman Sultan Sulayem on CNN with Wolf...um....wow.
When asked by Wolf how Americans can be sure that security won't be an issue when the UAE and others in DP World were allied with the Taliban, Al Qaeda and even bin Laden just 4 1/2 years ago, his response was:

Well, the US was allied with them in Afghanistan in fighting the Soviets to get them out.




Holy Farking Shite!!!!



That's his answer that we shouldn't be concerned?!?!?



How in *the* hell did this deal get so far with so few knowing wtf was going on?!?!?

4. The little people were never supposed to know about the deal
It was to go through in the middle of the night without any advance publicity.
