Ties to a Terrorist Nation

We may finally have caught a President committing treason. That is, if the UAE is in fact a terrorist nation as claimed by Sen. Clinton, Sen. Schumer, and the unhinged left-wing… Bill Clinton has a great deal of explaining to do.

Just four months after 9/11, Bill Clinton went to the UAE and publically told the Crown Prince, the UAE Defence minister, and a UAE Military General that America is wrong and not the bearer of truth in the world.

On January 17, 2002, Bill Clinton spoke in Dubai at an event attended by General Sheikh Mohammad bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and UAE Defence Minister and Queen Rania Al Abdullah of Jordan.

Clinton thanked the UAE for its support in the global fight against organised terrorism and reiterated calls for an end to the escalation of violence in Palestine. Clinton's speech at the dinner covered a range of global and social issues. He stressed that 'digital, political, economic and religious divides have to be bridged.'

Support in the global fight against terror? Aren't we being told now that the UAE cannot be trusted to "take over" our ports because of their support for the Taliban, Al Qaeda, and Osama Bin Laden-- not to mention their financing of same?

Dems Attack Port Takeover By Arabs

(CBS/AP) Democratic senators assailed an Arab company's takeover of operations at six major American ports and said Monday that President Bush should stop the deal to better protect the U.S. from terrorists.

...critics point to the United Arab Emirates track record — it was the transfer point for nuclear components to Iran, North Korea and Libya, and the UAE's history as an operational and financial base for the hijackers who carried out the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.

"God, if you have a country that is not doing internally what it should be to prevent the transfer of nuclear parts, we're going to give that country operation of the major ports of this nation?" New Jersey's Menendez asked. "I think not."

"It needs to be stopped by the president, first and foremost. Either freeze the deal or negate the deal," he added. cbsnews.com

Yet before and after 9/11 Bill Clinton is on record as praising the UAE was a valued member in the fight against terror. Does his wife know about this?

Clinton also said that 'America was not always right - or is not the sole bearer of truth - when it comes to burning global issues. Technology and money can never replace whatever truth is in the heart. Life is a journey that allows us to learn from everyone else.' http://www.stars-arabia.com http://www.sheikhmohammed.co.ae uaeinteract.com

It appears that Bill Clinton has also personally accepted hundreds of thousands of dollars from the UAE since 9/11. Maybe it was Bill Clinton who negotiated Bush's "Secret Deal" for the UAE, a terrorist nation, to take over our ports? Hmm.

We can't trust these people...

The Abu Dhabi World Leadership Summit will be remembered by thousands as one of the most significant and unique events in the Middle East. A gathering of the world's most influential and revered speakers will join together to share strategies for excellence in leadership and international business development. powerwithin.com

Who's speaking at this terrorist haven with the owners of Dubai World Ports?

• William Jefferson Clinton
  42nd President of the United States
• John Edwards
  2004 Democratic Vice-Presidential Candidate, Former Senator from North Carolina
• H.E. Mohamed Ali Alabbar
  Director General of the Department of Economic Development (DED) Government of Dubai, and Chairman - Emaar Properties
• H.E. Sheikh Nahayan Bin Mubarak Al Nahayan
  Minister of Education and Scientific Research, and Chancellor, Higher Colleges of Technology

Hmm... William Jefferson Clinton and John Edwards can safely speak on the same stage as UAE Ministers...

Does it strike any Democrats as odd that they are describing the UAE as a terrorist nation and an untrustworthy ally today citing terrorist ties that happened while their President was in office, and he was oblivious to that fact? Or was he?

Indeed, in 1998, we see the Clinton Administration actually arming the UAE, a supporter of terror. This is after the first World Trade Bombing, after the Kobar Towers Bombing, after reports from the FBI that terrorists are in the US, and after Bin Laden has issued a declaration calling on Muslims to kill Americans everywhere.

At the height of the UAE support of terror, Bill Clinton armed them with F-16's! I wonder how much he got paid in that secret deal?

Today, Crown Prince Khalifa and Vice President Gore announced the UAE's acquisition of 80 F-l6 Block 60 fighters from the United States as a significant step towards strengthening the UAE's defense capabilities. In essence, the deal will enable the UAE to achieve a credible and effective defense through the establishment of a conventional deterrent capability based on quality. This acquisition will allow the two countries not only to add a significant stabilizing element to the overall strategic balance in the region but also to further strengthen and fortify the already close security relations between the two countries.

President Clinton conveyed his sincere greetings to the President of the UAE, His Highness Shaikh Zayid bin Sultan Al Nahyan, wishing him good health and long life. clinton6.nara.gov

Clinton may even have called off the infamous strike on Bin Laden's camp because UAE ministers were there at the time "hunting". (Unfortunately for history Cheney was not there at the time. He could have prevented 9/11.)

I wonder what Clinton and Richard Clark have chosen to keep secret about these details about why they didn't kill Bin Laden when they had him in their sights? It also brings up more questions about what why it was so important for Sandy Berger to steal documents from the archives.

The Sept. 11 commission’s report released last year also raised concerns U.A.E. officials were directly associating with bin Laden as recently as 1999.

Hunting camp cited
The report states U.S. intelligence believed that bin Laden was visiting an area in the Afghan desert in February 1999 near a hunting camp used by U.A.E. officials, and that the U.S. military planned a missile strike.

Intelligence from local tribal sources indicated "bin Laden regularly went from his adjacent camp to the larger camp where he visited the Emirates," the report said.

"National technical intelligence confirmed the location and description of the larger camp and showed the nearby presence of an official aircraft of the United Arab Emirates. But the location of bin Laden’s quarters could not be pinned down so precisely," the report said.

The missile attack was never launched, and bin Laden moved on, the report said.

A month later, top White House counterterrorism official Richard Clarke "called a U.A.E. official to express his concerns about possible associations between Emirati officials and bin Laden," the report said. msnbc.msn.com

Secret Deals indeed.

Republicans aren't perfect. The left on the other hand, and particularly elected democrats, seem to be shiftless opportunistic sell-outs who have no problem calling Bush a racist one day, and an Arab-lover the next. What makes it worse is that we are told neocons kill darker skinned third world dwellers, because we don't care about people, only profits.

Clinton leads Dubai praise

FORMER US president Bill Clinton praised Dubai’s leaders last week, telling them the way Islamic and Western values and cultures are being merged is "wonderful".

Speaking via telecast at the Leaders in Dubai conference on Monday, Clinton was quick to highlight the work done by the emirate’s rulers, in particular Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Minister of Defence of the United Arab Emirates.

Clinton said: "Dubai is a role model of what could be achieved despite the other negative developments in the region. When I went to Dubai for the first time, I was taken to a technology facility where I hooked up to a bank kiosk and found that one can use a conventional banking service, while at the same time opt for an Islamic Sharia compliant service, which I thought was wonderful. This is a very good example of how cultures and values could be merged and offered to the rest. I was amazed and I have a lot of admiration for Sheikh Mohammed for what he’s doing in Dubai." itp.net
