A Unique Company

-- On its website, New Bridge Strategies describes itself as "a unique company that was created specifically with the aim of assisting clients to evaluate and take advantage of business opportunities in the Middle East following the conclusion of the US-led war in Iraq".

The website advertises the political connections of its chairman and director, Joe Allbaugh -- who ran FEMA in 2001 and 2002, was Bush's campaign manager in the 2000 election, and formerly part of the "iron triangle" of close Bush aides which included Karl Rove and Karen Hughes.
