Here is the Sheik in Dubai consorting with a shady character.
They are looking over a couple of chics they are interested in.
Mark the name, Sheik Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, and we now have New York City’s Grand Central Station subject to Arab terrorist infiltration with the recent purchase of the Helmsmen Building by a Dubai-based investment firm owned by the Emirate’s royal family. The lead investor is Robert Bass - a close Bush family friend out of Fort Worth Texas. Bass joined Istithmar PJSC executive chairman and buyer Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem in consummating the November 10 purchase of the midtown Manhattan office building. This building sits above Grand Central’s terminal and the underground commuter train-subway complex hub.
Microsoft has sent many engineers over to Dubai, as well as analysts from Harvard Law School, and they are quickly learning that the United States has very few friends over there - and that’s the fact and can be confirmed by anyone in the know in IT (Information Technology). The Terrorism Research Center reports in 2004:
“Osama bin Laden's operatives still use this freewheeling city as a logistical hub three years after more than half the Sept. 11 hijackers flew directly from Dubai to the United States in the final preparatory stages for the attack. The recent arrest of an alleged top al-Qaida combat coach is the latest sign that suspected members of the terrorist organization are among those who take advantage of travel rules that allow easy entry. Citizens of neighboring Gulf states such as Saudi Arabia can come to Dubai without visas, which other nationalities can get at the country's ports of entry. Once here, it's easy to blend in to what has become a cosmopolitan crowd.”
We know from the SOUTH ASIA INTELLIGENCE REVIEW in 2003:
"How easy it was for Al-Qaida's bankers to have five hundred thousand dollars wired from a bank in Dubai for anonymous use in automatic teller machines in Florida and Maine.” - Lord Robertson, Secretary General, NATO, April 17, 2002.
Today (New Delhi, February 27) the CBI (the intelligence agency of India, Central Bureau of Investigation ) is today sending to Abu Dhabi seeking deportation of terrorist and criminal don Dawood Ibrahim and his two other associates for their roles in the 1993 Mumbai (Bombay) bombings in India and criminal nexus with gutkha manufacturers, the Home Minsitry of India would allow the CBI (Central Bureau of Investigation) to send fresh Letters Rogatory (LR) to Abu Dhabi requesting for deportation of the three involved, the LR sent to Dubai (United Arab Emirates).
No, there are too many ways that the new media can get to the facts, facts that Bush wouldn’t bother to even look at until he first heard of the port deal four days before it was to go forward. The problem with the Bush Administration - a problem this Administration itself admitted in relation to Katrina - is managing information. This guy was running around with a sombrero on his head hob-knobbing with Vicente Fox in the months and weeks before 911, all the while many conservatives yelling that Osama bin Laden hit the Trade Center buildings once but didn’t finish the job and will be back for more. But no, Bush couldn’t manage information then, and he can’t now. This is the failure his Administration and his Presidency. We are all suppose to be Hush-Limbaugh and hush up and not say anything and make jokes. Well, Hush Limbaugh isn't funny. Glenn Beck - now that's a talk show host who is funny. Beck is funny. Hush plays golf and, what was he doing the days, weeks, months before 911? Dropping pills? No. Hush isn't funny.
Well, if they wanted to infiltrate Grand Central Station, they didn't need to buy a nearby building. They could just walk in like everyone else.
Guaranteed, that's the only building that's safe from terrorists. Unless, they can get an insurance policy against such acts...
I'll have one of what you're having. Make mine a double so I can catch up.
Grist for insomniacs.
Geez...if one BS argument doesn't work try another.
You must be his mother.
Nice property.
As in Leona Helmsley, the notorious Queen of Mean?
"There is Dubai's Sheik Mohammed bin Rashid al Maktoum.
Al-Maktoum, Defense Minister of the United Arab Emirates, is also Crown Prince of Dubai-an Arab Muslim country that strongly supported and recognized Afghanistan's Taliban, one of only three countries to do so. According to "From the Desert to the Derby," by Jason Levin, 10 of the 19 September 11th hijackers carried documents and identification from Dubai, a country which also has no laws against money-laundering. Why? Maybe, because money to fund September 11th's terrorism was laundered to ringleader Mohammed Atta, directly from Dubai's banks."
The UAE is not America's friend. The UAE banking system funneled the cash for the 9-11 attacks. The UAE covered for Osama Bin Laden. The UAE has given refuge to terrorists. The U&AE citizenry are comprised of Islamic "jihadists" and Islamofascists. The US may need the UAE as an ally OVER THERE. No need to invite anymore of them OVER HERE.
United Arab Emirates actively participated in the following events:
"1995-2001: Persian Gulf Elite Go Hunting with bin Laden in Afghanistan Complete 911 Timeline
After the Taliban takes control of the area around Kandahar, Afghanistan, in September 1994, prominent Persian Gulf state officials and businessmen, including high-ranking United Arab Emirates and Saudi government ministers, such as Saudi intelligence minister Prince Turki al-Faisal, frequently secretly fly into Kandahar on state and private jets for hunting expeditions. [Los Angeles Times, 11/18/01] General Wayne Downing, Bush's former national director for combating terrorism, says: “They would go out and see Osama, spend some time with him, talk with him, you know, live out in the tents, eat the simple food, engage in falconing, some other pursuits, ride horses. One noted visitor is Sheik Mohammed ibn Rashid al Maktum, United Arab Emirates Defense Minister and Crown Prince for the emirate of Dubai.” [MSNBC, 9/5/03] While there, some develop ties to the Taliban and al-Qaeda and give them money. Both bin Laden and Taliban leader Mullah Omar sometimes participate in these hunting trips. Former US and Afghan officials suspect that the dignitaries' outbound jets may also have smuggled out al-Qaeda and Taliban personnel. [Los Angeles Times, 11/18/01] On one occasion, the US will decide not to attack bin Laden with a missile because he's falconing with important members of the United Arab Emirates' royal family (see February 1999)."
