WASHINGTON (AP) - A leading Israeli software company failed to resolve security objections by the Bush administration over its plans to buy a smaller U.S. technology rival and abruptly abandoned the $225 million deal.
Check Point Software Technologies Ltd. of Ramat Gan, Israel, withdrew its plans Thursday near the conclusion of a rare, full-blown investigation by a U.S. review panel over the company's plans to buy Sourcefire Inc.
Check Point had been told U.S. officials feared the transaction could endanger some of government's most sensitive computer systems.
UAE that has ties to the 9/11 terrorist and has smuggled uranium is given a pass to buy a company, but Israel, the country we claim is one of our closest allies, doesn't.
I think Bush is crap.
