Dubai, Hillary & Bill - Did you know that Israeli citizens cannot set foot in Dubai?
Please read the following and then ask yourself would it be viewed differently if it was Michelle Obama or Cindy McCain getting millions from Dubai?

Dubai, Hillary & Bill

Dubai is one of the seven princedoms of United Arab Emirates (UAE). It bars Israeli citizens from setting foo(t) in its country. It “bans all products made in Israel and even ones with parts made in Israel.” Half the 9/11 hijackers flew to the United States from Dubai. And $234,500 of the $300,000 wired to the hijackers came from Dubai banks. (New York Post; 3-23-07).

Why does this matter to Hillary?

Dubai’s best friend in the United States may be her husband. Since Bill Clinton left office he has been paid over a million dollars for making speeches in Dubai. He has also been paid $10 million as an advisor and board member of a company involved in a mega-million dollar joint venture with the Dubai government. Dubai has contributed millions to Clinton’s Presidential Library – and Clinton’s foundation in turn has sponsored a Dubai Scholars program at the American University in Dubai. (As former Clinton advisor Dick Morris wrote in the New York Post, “The Clinton Foundation wouldn’t sponsor a program in America that banned Israeli students. It shouldn’t sponsor one in Dubai, either.”)

In addition, Hillary’s campaign has its own ties to Dubai’s government. Her campaign spokesman, Howard Wolfson, was a principle in the Glover Park Group when it lobbied for the Dubai’s bid to manage American ports a year ago.

The Clinton PR machine is one of the most lethal entities on earth. Can you imagine what it would say if Rudy Giuliani, John McCain, or even Barack Obama’s spouse had received millions from an anti-Semitic government that served as a conduit for wiring cash to terrorists?

Bill Clinton Earned $15.4 Million From Burkle Firm Since 2003

Most people who make that much money work for it,'' said Yale University tax law professor Michael Graetz, a former Treasury Department official in President George H.W. Bush's administration. ``What are they being paid for, and if it's the Sheikh of Dubai paying the husband of somebody who might be the next president of the United States, what do they think they're paying for?''

.............

I believe this is a very important issue that is not covered enough in the MSM and should be talked about more in this primary election process.

5. What is NOT fact in what I posted? Truth vs. lies - Truth will out!
“I guess truth can hurt you worse in an election than about anything that can happen to you.”

4. Dubai royals who were protected throughout the 90s when Bill deep-sixed BCCI matters for GHWBush
certainly have been generous to the Clintons the last 8 years.

So have other BCCI figures, like Marc Rich and Jackson Stephens.

Gee - wonder why.

7. He certainly has a number of Dems still buying tickets to his Dog and Pony Shows.
Hopefully, they'll wise up soon enough to save whatever democracy this nation has left.

8. How ironic that the AIPAC machine implies that Hillary is the only candidate Jews should vote for
While the Clintons openly do business with a government that has an official state policy of anti-semitism.
