    Hillary Clinton 'unaware' of Bill's Dubai ties

    Hillary Clinton, a leading opponent of DP World's takeover of some US port operations, was this week forced to admit that she did not know her husband had advised Dubai leaders on how to handle the growing dispute.

    But former President Bill Clinton's ties to Dubai and the United Arab Emirates should not have come as a surprise to his New York senator wife.

    Mrs Clinton's own senatorial financial disclosure forms reveal that her husband earned $450,000 giving speeches in Dubai in 2002.

    Officials from the UAE also donated between $500,000 and $1m to fund Mr Clinton's presidential library in Arkansas.

    It was part of an effort by the emirates, said a person close to UAE officials, to forge a close relationship with a former US president who is influential and highly regarded in the region.

    the problem with videos like that about ANY public official is that the purpose is to sway you to a particular opinion. usually they only focus on negative facts, with ominous music in the background.

    is this particular movie like that? just curious.

    to be honest i felt is was put together by a bunch of republicans that were running for office
    but it does bring up some good points
    for example, in the film it was stated that clinton protested the war by staying in a tree outside the uni and the fire department had to hose him out of the tree because the ground underneath began to stink.
    also about the whitewater deal, it was stated that some people lost everything they had because they were 30 days late in paying their premiums

    you will have to be the judge when and if you watch it

    Absolute propaganda, and you have fallen for it like the very people we usually make fun of here on sciforums.

    However, Hillary is an idiot for two reasons, opposing the UAE takeover and claiming she knew nothing about Bill's ties to Dubai. Politicians are idiots, and Hillary should definitely fire her advisors.
