The investment arm of the government of Abu Dhabi has purchased a 7.5% interest in the Carlyle Group, the investment arm of the Bush Crime Family (TM). Perhaps replacing the investments fromerly held by the bin Laden family, which proved to be a bit too embarassing after 9/11. Carlyle has a major stake in the defense industry, having acquired undervalued companies during the "Pax Americana" between Vietnam and the first Gulf War. The Gulf War made that a very good investment (who knew?).
This is a major alignment of the totalitarian stars - US and OPEC/Arabian.
