Dubai owes money to foreign banks. why would they want to bail them out? and most of those banks are western banks. though i am sure there are others. they had no reason to try and bail out these companies. they won't loose jobs over it (and they might not care any way, its not a democracy after all) not sure why its a surprise.

Who in their right mind would ever give that gaggle of wankers a dime? Citigroup reference- tells you everything one needs to know about the leadership in US banking circles. It's all a mirage to hide the sex trade. Scumbags. All that hooey built with slave labor and they still collapse in a sh*t pile of debt.

KellyD3 - that NYT article mention of the Citigroup loan is interesting. Wonder if Uncle Hank and Uncle Ben were worried about Dubai blowing up and used the TARP as an indirect bailout as they did for Goldman? It wasn't like it's bubble status was a surprise to anyone who bothered lookng. The did have really neat commercials on Al Jazeera though. A Default by any other name….
