WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President George W. Bush approved Dubai's $1.24 billion takeover of Doncasters, a British engineering company with U.S. plants that supply the Pentagon, the White House said on Friday.Just how do you know that this won't compromise things, McClellan? This calls for some serious attention, and maybe even a boycott of Doncasters products, if you ask me! Because it could be dangerous for America's defenses, and considering that this is an enemy country that's buying the company, that's one more reason why this deal shouldn't be seen as legitimate. All concerned should contact their representatives ASAP.
The decision, announced by White House spokesman Scott McClellan, followed a congressional uproar over security fears that scuttled another Dubai state-owned company's plan to acquire operations at major U.S. ports.
The interagency Committee on Foreign Investments in the United States sent its confidential recommendation on the Dubai takeover of Doncasters to Bush on April 13.
"The president this morning accepted the committee's recommendation," McClellan said. "The committee recommended approval of the transaction after closely scrutinizing it and concluding that it would not compromise our national security."
