2. Yesterday, CNN reported that UAE or DP spokesmen wouldn't
go on CNN because CNN wouldn't "shut up Lou Dobbs".

3. Lou Dobbs may be a RW Repub...
but I don't doubt for a minute that he is an American...first and foremost. The whole "shut up Lou Dobbs" thing is unbelievable.

Peace.

February 16, 2006

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - United Arab Emirates-based media investment company Istithmar controls 2.39 percent of Time Warner Inc.'s (NYSE:TWX - news) stock and has hired one of Carl Icahn's entities as its advisor, the firm disclosed in a U.S. regulatory filing on Thursday.

The Dubai investment firm acquired the stake in January through $2 billion in participation notes issued by UBS AG.

The notes give Istithmar effective control of more than 109 million Time Warner shares, according to the company's filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Set up in 2003, Istithmar is owned by the Dubai government and one of several vehicles the emirate uses to buy overseas assets. It invests in areas such as financial services, real estate and the industrial sector.

6. REporting on the Carlysle Group!
Bush family and Bush officials have family and friendly ties to UAE. Oil connections, mentioned Snow too. UAE has been lavishing hundreds of thousands of dollars to the K-Street Connection.
