For those of you interested in some comedy, visit www.foxnews.com, then click on VIDEOS (in the top right corner), then click on Politics and watch the "Ports Security" video and then click on BUSINESS and watch the "Money Mail" video.

The second one is absolutely hilarious. The Amricans cant even pronounce the word Emirates. PMSL.

Fantastic!

What a fine example of an upstanding American 'Wayne' is - I'd be willing to bet my salary on him being a Grand Wizard in the KKK

Interesting that they keep referring back to two 9/11 terrorists have links to UAE...does that mean anyone from Timothy McVeighs home state cannot invest in American interests?

Wow, that was funny. Maybe I should start watching Fox News instead of The Paramount Comedy Channel! Seriously, though, it is a bit of a worry when the population of the only remaining superpower (unless you count Europe ) gets its information from sources like this.

It's even more worrying when you consider that the Fox News Channel's slogan is "Fair and Balanced" and they defend their use of it with a straight face (for those who don't know, FNC is neither fair nor balanced - it's notoriously and viciously right-wing).

Just as CNN is notoriously and viciously left-wing. Foxnews just balances it out.

http://www.cnn.com/2006/LAW/02/19/po....ap/index.html

Seeing the the left is leading the charge with this one, critisizing foxnews for being right wing biased doesn't really lend itself to the point.

CNN is about as left wing as David Beckham (see what I did there!!)...it's marginally less right wing than Fox.

If you believe that CNN is 'viciously left wing' then it is then it speaks volumes for you, your personal politics and how the media is perceived within the US.

There are very few centre left, never mind left wing - mainstream media outlets in the US.

However, your point regarding who is leading the charge is a valid one. Hilary Clinton...hang your head in shame.

The sukuk was open to financial institutions as well as individual investors (I think offered by the FI's to their employees , HNWIs). Under the offer, the bonds will be repaid within two years, with 70 per cent returned in cash and 30 per cent as equity shares from the planned public offering. If no IPO takes place prior to the final redemption of the sukuks, investors would be getting a little over 10%. The bonds are not guaranteed by the Govt of Dubai.

It looked very attractive initially, but after reading the risk factors decided against it . I'd rather remain invested in the stock markets in India ........better returns
