Dubai: The U.S.'s Back Door To Iran
NO, it's not about a white whale....A long read, but worth the slog...I am especially entertained by the P&G position of protecting Iranian consumers by violating US Sanctions.....marketing wench.....SHEESH!:The ships captain asks if Im looking to smuggle something. Were standing alongside a busy stretch of Port Saeed, on Dubai Creek, which is not actually a creek but a mucky Palmolive-green waterway, trash-strewn and oily, that stretches about eight miles through a thicket of shiny skyscrapers before draining into the Persian Gulf. Its March, the sun is blasting down; the air is redolent of diesel fuel. The captains name is Khaled, and hes headed to Bandar Abbas, Iranabout 100 miles northeast, nine hours by sea. Were leaving in a week, he says. Posted by: Uncle Phester 2008-08-14 |
