Bernie Sanders - UAE ties with OBL
Bernie Sanders just asked the admin. reps if they could assure us that none of the UAE royal family (who were with OBL in 1999 when the strike had to be called of) would be involved in running the DPW company in their deal to operate U.S. ports.

Not a single admin. official could provide an answer - just sat there is silence.

16. He';s often that angry
You shouold have seen him ripping into Alan Greenspan during his briefings to Congress.

It's a beautiful anger. More politicians should have it.

18. UAE had direct connections with Osama Bin Laden
http://bernie.house.gov/documents/document.asp?issueNum=4799

Sanders said, “This deal should be put on hold until after the review is completed and Congress has the opportunity to hold an up or down vote. Frankly, I think this deal is a very dumb idea. According to the 9-11 Commission, the UAE had direct connections with Osama Bin Laden before the September 11 attacks. It was also one of only three countries to recognize the Taliban. The FBI has established that money was transferred to the 9/11 hijackers through the UAE banking system and the U.S. Treasury has reported that the UAE was not cooperating in efforts to track down Osama Bin Laden’s bank accounts. This deal has the potential to be a real threat to our national security and it seems to me that we should err on the side of caution and not allow it to go through.”
