Jade, since this issue is very important to all of us - I'm pasting my post from one of the other Panama threads:

Jade:
"What "key word" are you talking about? "

Odd. Seems you would have - by now - read the entire article jade ie. "China secretlty ...Cuba"?? Did you?? Or did you just skim through it? If you didn't take the time to throughly read this article-do so now. And mind you - that you need to concentrate on each and every word. Find the key word - and then scurry back and post it.

Jade:
"Why do you waste everybody's time with this nonsense?"

You know something jade, there are many reasons why I spend this much time with you, and one of those reasons is that I need your comments (comments= bumps) - to make sure this and the other Panama articles stayed bumped to the top as much as possible. Another reason is that I know that I'm on the right side of this issue - and you're not. You won't even give the reader a Yes or a No as to - just the possibility - that China has already/is/or will - smuggle weapons and short-range missiles (or missile parts) - into Panama.
Also jade, I note that there are now - no other posters whatsoever - aiding you in your debate with me. You used to have your pal (your mirror of ones self))-
- j_accuse -helping you - in debating these issues. But no longer. What happened to j_accuse jade? Do you know? Review for us jade as to - why j_accuse has taken flight. (read j_accuse's last postings - then mine - and give us your take, o. k.?)
Also jade, FR poster, The Kitten -hasn't posted a word in your defense - for over a month now. What's with that jade? What happened with this poster - not posting here in these Panama threads lately?? (of course, I remember the Kitten from L.com days. And just recently, one of her very good friends - emailed me - stating that Kitten is an o. k. lady - a good conservative - but that she is just naive on this China/Panama issue).

So jade, what's with this loss of folks coming to post encouragement to your side of these issues jade??

Oh, jade, I just remembered - back in the beginning, when you and I first started discussing all of my points - you had one or two insignificant others helping you. In fact jade, you had Mr Eyeballs Pilot but - for less then 48 hours before I dispensed with his points. (Trident mailed me jade -and sees quite clearly - my side of this smuggling issue - and he won't be back to help you.) No jade, you're all alone here. You have no one taking your side over mine. I have dozens of friends here who have credited my points - but no one, other then the folks above-who I dispensed with- are helping you with your side of this debate. Not One!

Doesn't all of this tell you something jade? Doesn't it?? Surely so?? It sure tells me - (and the readers of these Panama threads) - that my concerns are logical/very possible and your rebutals - are irrelevant, are based on your baised opinion/best guess - and in fact - are lies - to say the least.

Jade:
"Why do you waste everybody's time with this nonsense?"

Nah jade - it's you - who are wasting your time.

Jade:
"If you have something to say about a "key word," just say it."

Won't happen. (won't happen yet anyway) - Reread the article jade. Then get back with us.

Some European media have reported that a company named Taqwa -- of fear of God -- was registered in Panama and used by Bin laden for financial operations.

Al Taqwa registered in Bahamas and Switzerland - not Panama

For Immediate Release
Office of the Press Secretary
November 7, 2001

Terrorist Financial Network Fact Sheet
Shutting Down the Terrorist Financial Network

"Today's action disrupts al-Qaida's communications, blocks an important source of funds, obtains valuable information, and sends a clear message to global financial institutions:  You are with us, or with the terrorists.  And if you are with the terrorists, you will face the consequences."

President George W. Bush
November 7, 2001

Today's Action

-    In a major step forward in the financial war on terrorism, President Bush announced that the U.S. had moved to block the assets of 62 organizations and individuals associated with two investment and money moving networks of terror -- Al Barakaat and Al Taqwa. ....

Al Barakaat and al Taqwa

-    Al Taqwa and Al Barakaat raise, manage, invest, and distribute funds for al-Qaida; provide terrorist supporters with Internet service and secure telephone communications; and arrange for the shipment of weapons.

-    Al Barakaat is a financial and telecommunications conglomerate operating in 40 countries around the world.  It was founded in 1989, and now is involved in telecommunications, wire transfer services, Internet service, construction and currency exchange.

-    Al Barakaat's founder, Shaykh Ahme Nur Jimale, is closely linked to Usama bin Laden.  He has used Al Barakaat's 60 offices in Somalia and 127 offices abroad to transmit funds, intelligence and instructions to terrorist cells.

-    Al Taqwa is a network of companies in Switzerland, Liechtenstein, the Bahamas, and Milan.  It is controlled by Youssef Nada, a naturalized Italian citizen.  Al Taqwa provides investment advice and cash transfer mechanisms for al-Qaida and other radical Islamic groups.
