Mr Clinton’s contact with Dubai on the issue underscores the relationship he has developed with the United Arab Emirates since leaving office. In 2002, he was paid $300,000 (€252,000) to address a summit in Dubai.
Clinton's as usual have hands in every pocket.
The original "Gimme" couple.
haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Ya know, with ex presidents like Clinton and Carter we don't need anymore enimies.
You bet he will.......Now that the liberals see how powerfully the DPO deal is linked with the massive shipment of consumer goods from Pakistan, India and the USA into Iraq and Afghanistan,,,,the Liberal Wing Nuts have gone from: " Blame President Bush" to wanting part of the credit for the DPO deal???
I am sure this duplicity will not be lost on the US voting public. Dubai hardly needed any pointers from Slick BJ ( put it in your mouth) Clinton, they have been doing business quite successfully with the US government and its military for about six years.
Prior to BJ Clinton's interest in becoming Sec. Gen. of the United Nations, he treated the Emirates like Camel herders. Why would they want to listen to Clinton. They likely paid him $300,000 (€252,000)so he would go away.
Working both sides of the street. How Clintonesq.
Clinton and Carter. There are two reason the deal should be stopped. I also wonder how the demorats will spin their opposition now.
let's see if the slimey lame stream media gives it an ounce of coverage...
I wish he's take a walk in Marcy Park and take care of business.
