Your trouble Jom would appear to be that you read stuff but you seem incapable of understanding what is actually being said.
Your first line of waffle about arms sales to Qatar was it so out of date that you didn't want to put a date on it?
Fallon travelled in vain the Qatari Air Ministry opted to buy the French Rafale instead of the Eurofighter the deal was signed in 2014.
Of course the British Government considers the area of the Arabian Gulf to be a priority market, Britain has bi-lateral defence agreements with the U.A.E. (Formerly British Protectorates known as the Trucial States), Bahrain, Kuwait and Oman.
On Osama bin Laden Jom:
Born March 10, 1957 – Killed May 2, 2011.
1968 to 1976 - he attended the élite secular Al-Thager Model School.
1976 to 1979 or 1981 - King Abdulaziz University. Rather vague as to what he actually studied or what qualification he graduated with. The choices are civil engineering, public administration, or nothing at all.
1979 to 1988 - In Pakistan working with Abdullah Azzam providing support for those fighting the Soviets in Afghanistan. In 1984 they formed the Maktab al-Khidamat, which funneled money, arms and fighters from around the Arab world into Afghanistan.
1988 to 1990 - Formation and establishment of Al-Qaeda in Pakistan.
1990 to 1992 - In Saudi Arabia where he offered the King his men to help protect the Kingdom from Saddam Hussein. This offer was rejected in favour of help from the UN Coalition. In 1992 Osama bin Laden was banished from Saudi Arabia and went into exile in Sudan.
1992 to 1996 - In the Sudan, where he invested in businesses (He did not run them). He also forged stronger links with Egyptian Islamic Jihad (Original supporters of the formation of Al-Qaeda back in 1988). During this time Al-Qaeda were implicated in the 1993 attack on the World Trade Centre in New York which resulted in Osama bin Laden being stripped of his Saudi citizenship and his family cutting him off financially. In 1995 Al-Qaeda and the EIJ were implicated in an attempted assassination of Hosni Mubarak in 1995. Subject to an assassination attempt on his own life and no longer feeling either welcome or secure in Sudan on May 18th, 1996 Osama bin Laden left Sudan and flew to Afghanistan.
1996 to 2001 - Afghanistan, where under the protection of Mullah Omar and the Taliban Al-Qaeda organised and planned the following international terrorist strikes:
1996 - Khobar Towers Saudi Arabia 1998 - US Embassy bombings in Nairobi, Kenya and in Dar-e-salam 2000 - Attack on the USS Cole 2001 - Attacks on the World Trade Centre, the Pentagon and one other unspecified target in Washington DC.
Also in this time Osama bin Laden issued two fatwas declaring his Caliphate and his war on the USA and the West.
In November 2001 the USA along with Australian and other NATO Allies intervene in the ongoing civil war in Afghanistan on the side of the Northern Alliance and drive the Taliban and Al-Qaeda out of Afghanistan. Sometime late in 2001 or early in 2002 Osama bin Laden goes into hiding in Pakistan.
2002 to 2011 - In hiding in Pakistan where he is basically a total irrelevance.
Now then Jom I make it that the man lived just over 54 years in which time he was:
Child - 11 years or 20.4% of his life In education - 11 years or 20.4% of his life Actively involved in supporting terrorist causes - 20 years or 37% of his life. In hiding - 9 years or 16.7% of his life An investor in Sudan as cover for his international terrorist activities - 4 years or 7.4% of his life
And this is the man Jom describes as a BUSINESSMAN. Ever heard of rational thought, or perspective Jom?
It would appear that you are the only person continually humiliating yourself here Jom.
