For more than three decades Qatar and the Muslim Brotherhood have had a close relationship, maintained through personal ties involving the al-Thani family and the Ikhwan. Doha has hosted individual Ikhwan, and Yusif Al Qaradawi, formerly an Egyptian but now a Qatari national, is an example. Now an octogenarian, he was the founder of the International Union of Muslim Scholars and for years his television program on Islamic laws was produced by Qatar's Al Jazeera.

After engaging in terrorism in Iraq, an Al Qaeda leader came to America as a refugee and applied for Social Security disability benefits because his "injuries" in Iraq had made it too hard for him to work.
In 2006, Ali Yousif Ahmed Al-Nouri was the Emir of an Al Qaeda terrorist group in Fallujah. The Iraqi city was the scene of brutal battles between Al Qaeda and America. It was where American soldiers had suffered the most casualties in any battle since the Vietnam War. Despite multiple defeats, Al Qaeda remained deeply entrenched in the city and was even able to seize a number of neighborhoods in 2014.
By then, Al-Nouri was living in Arizona.
Only 2 years after being the Emir of an Al Qaeda group, Al-Nouri had traded the deserts of Al-Anbar for the deserts of the Southwest. How was an Al Qaeda leader able to move to the United States?
Easy. He claimed to be a refugee from Al Qaeda.
In 2008, the United States raised the refugee admission celling to 80,000 to accommodate the surge of Iraqis applying to come to the United States. The Iraqis claimed to be fleeing terrorism, but some, like Al-Nouri were terrorists, and our refugee resettlement program was not interested in telling them apart.
A quarter of refugees that year were Iraqis. The Al Qaeda leader was one of 13,823 Iraqi refugees. The huge increase from 1,608 in 2007, made any real screening of the Iraqis all but impossible. And, worse still, Iraqis, like Al-Nouri, were in the top 3 refugee groups and their claims were processed 'in-country'.
"In-country processing", as noted by the Center of American Progress, makes "the process less onerous and cumbersome for Iraqis seeking asylum by allowing for in-country visa processing, making screening less restrictive." And what migrants from Al-Qaeda’s stronghold needed was less restrictive screenings.
The less restrictive screenings were one of Senator Ted Kennedy’s final immigration gifts to America. The Refugee Crisis in Iraq Act was introduced by Ted Kennedy, backed by Grover Norquist, and co-sponsored by Joe Biden, Pat Leahy, Chuck Hagel, Dick Durbin, Bob Menendez and Barack Obama.

A veritable rogues gallery. And it had to be approved by President Bush Jr.

A nice example of the widespread incompetence of the Global Grifter Uniparty that will not & cannot find it in themselves to put this country and its citizens first.

[JPost] - Canadian lawyers, who previously successfully sued Iran, are seeking class action status in a lawsuit on behalf of victims aboard a Ukrainian plane shot down over Tehran last month, looking for at least C$1.5 billion ($1.1 billion) in compensation.
The suit names Iran, its supreme leader, the elite Revolutionary Guards and others as defendants.
[Al Ahram] Leb's government on Thursday approved a rescue plan to pull the country from its worst economic and financial crisis in decades and it must now win a vote of confidence in parliament.
A draft policy statement seen by Rooters on Sunday outlined broad plans, including reducing interest rates, recapitalising banks, restructuring the public sector and seeking support from foreign donors.
Prime Minister Hassan Diab urged Europe ...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum... an states to open a credit line and provide aid to rescue his country.
"Leb needs urgent help today at various levels, power, food supplies, raw materials," he told a meeting of European ambassadors.
Foreign donors have said they stand ready to support Leb only if it implements long-stalled reforms.
The UN Special Coordinator for Leb, Jan Kubis, said this week that a clear and transparent action plan was needed.
"If you don't help yourselves, why do you expect assistance from the outside world?" he told local media.
The information minister said the cabinet approved the rescue plan on Thursday with some amendments, which ministerial sources said were minor.
It was not immediately clear what changes were made to the 17-page statement, due to be presented on Tuesday in parliament for the new government to secure a vote of confidence.
Leb's Parliament Speaker Nabih Knobby Berri ...Speaker of the Lebanese parliament, head of the Amal Shiite party aligned with Hezbollah, a not very subtle sock puppet of the Medes and Persians... called for a session to be held next week, on Tuesday and Wednesday, to vote on the new government and its policy statement.
Diab's cabinet was formed last month by the Iran-backed Hezbollah movement and its political allies, which hold a parliamentary majority. It took office nearly three months after Saad al-Hariri's government resigned under pressure from sweeping protests against a ruling elite that has failed for decades to tackle waste and corruption.
