Dubai Ports World never probed to determine if it had link to terrorism.

A review of a United Arab Emirates-owned company's plan to take over a portion of operations at key U.S. ports never looked into whether the company had ties to al Qaeda or other terrorists, a key Republican lawmaker told CNN on Wednesday.
Rep. Peter King of New York, chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, said officials from the Homeland Security and Treasury departments told him weeks ago that their 30-day review of the deal did not look into the question of links between DP World and al Qaeda.

King said the officials told him after he asked about investigation into possible terrorist ties: "Congressman, you don't understand, we don't conduct a thorough investigation. We just ask the intel director if there is anything on file, and he said no."

"There was no real investigation conducted during the 30-day period," King, who has been a vocal critic of the deal, told CNN. "I can't emphasize this enough,"

You know it is getting exhausting trying to keep up with all of this administrations lies. Bush said that they had completely investigated this company and that we should trust him that there is nothing amiss.

Mr. President, with all due respect, if you think that you have earned any trust with Americans in the last five years, then you sir are an idiot!
