| Gulf Arab rulers have invested in expensive escape strategies should Al Q or Iran take power |

| From Geostrategy-Direct, subscription. In the 1980s, oil-rich Arab leaders invested scores of billions of dollars in Europe and the United States. Today, some of these Gulf Arab leaders are using their record oil revenues to prepare nest eggs in Arab and Muslim states. BOP Bug Out Plan. Simply put, Gulf Arab rulers are preparing insurance policies in case of an Iranian attack on their countries or an Al Qaida takeover. The Al Qaida plot to attack oil and military installations in Kuwait and Saudi Arabia — disclosed last week — appears to be only the tip of the iceberg. Nest eggs require lots of money. Take the United Arab Emirates. The ruling family has become the leading investor in Morocco, with a total investment portfolio of $16 billion. The focus by the UAE ruling family? Real estate, of course. The UAE princes are buying a country within a country, taking over huge tracts of land, farms, housing and tourist sites. Sort of a huge gated community. Morocco, with problems of its own, takes the money and stays quiet. UAE companies are expected to win more than $20 billion in projects in 2007 alone in Morocco, with real estate comprising more than $12 billion. |

| #4 I hope that they are buying a lot in the USA. Invest in the USA and don't attack. I also read that the Iranian mullahs are some of the biggest luxury real estate owners in Toronto. Can anybody verify? |

| #2 The Dems had better wise up on Iraq. Only 15% of that country has been explored for fossil fuel resources. And discovered oil fields are the deepest pockets ever recorded. It is highly likely that Iraq holds more oil that the Arabian Peninsula. And Nancy Airhead and Obewannabewhite want pull-out. |
