Why does this story make me think of Popeye and Bluto in "Alladin and his Forty Thieves".
They connected the dots in 1998 but Senator Kerry and MSM can't seem to connect the dots in 2004.
Here is an easy to read chart of what the media was saying pre-911 (and after): Connect the Dots...Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden.
Lots of facts and quotes about the president-wannabe at the John F. Kerry Timeline.

Can't be. The Rats say there is no connection between these guys.
Wrong. That's arafat' gallstone. Pass it on!
Here some info from some website:http://www.nandadesigns.com/pearl_of_allah.php
PEARL OF ALLAH
This gargantuan pearl of highly irregular (baroque) shape was discovered at the Palawan island in the Philippines in 1934. It was the perfect place to discover such a pearl as that part of the world is a habitat of a giant clam known in the scientific community as Tridacna gigas. These giant clams can grow up to five (5) feet in length, and can reach a weight of up to 400 lbs.
Pearl's strange size and physical appearance apparently made a very profound impression on the diver that discovered it. He named it Pearl of Allah. Since he was a devout Muslim, he probably thought that the find was so incredible that it was not possible for the discovery of the pearl not to have something with god's will. Considering pearl's measurements, it is not too hard to figure out why he experienced pearl's discovery in such a highly religious manner.
In fact, other people that saw the pearl in person made similar religious associations. The pearl is also known as Pearl of Lao-tze (the philosopher who founded the Taoist religion in China).
Being almost 10 inches long and weighing in at an astounding 14 lbs, it is the largest pearl on record. Pearl's monetary value seems to be commensurate with its out-of-this-world dimensions. Experts estimate the value of the pearl to be around $40 million.

A number of WND articles have that flavor. Speaking of flavor, it appears to have gone out of that piece of bubble gum.
Looks more like the paperweight of Allah.......Good for throwing when thieves break in.
I'd like to send him 'The Turd of Sierrahome"
The lawsuit alleges two main areas of wrongdoing: a fraudulent scheme promising huge returns on a European program involving the buying and selling of bank debt and the wrongful name change on a Wells Fargo bank safe deposit box holding the world's largest pearl, the Pearl of Allah. Victor Barbish said he owns two-thirds of the pearl on behalf of his daughter Gina.
He looks like somewhat of a huckster if you read all the article.
Look's more like Allah's Gob-o-Goo.
