If you''re in construction, Dubai is a great place to find a job and work for some of the richest folks on the planet. (Halliburton, etc).

glad to see capitalism is serving the people of this world well.

America has no one but themsleves ot blame... We showed them how to do it.

Now if us working class Americans can just reach that knife stuck in our back that was put there by the Wall Street capitalist and corporations we might actually move forward as a country.

not going to happen though. We''re nothing more then a sacrificial lamb, and a way to the means for the elite.

What a coincidence. I have just designed a jet that only flies backwards, upside down, only 7 feet above the ground, it%u2019s wings are made of red bricks, and it uses Gatorade for fuel. It also has a continuously running machine gun that cannot be turned off. Yes, admittedly I have never designed an airplane before, and haven''t even practiced aeronautical design since 1965. But, I feel confident I can do this.

%u201CAll these OPEC nations that have gotten fat off of feeding like a tick from the west%u201D

No they have something you want and if you dont want it dont buy it. I would not say that was being a tick. Very easily they double or triple the price of oil knowing full well in the end you will buy it and it wont loose any value if it sits in the ground. Your brand new bike is going to need some oil at some point or the bearings are going to stop turning. What you going to do then batman.

Probably Halliburton new headquarters will also be there and of course VP''s retirement home.

You''re wrong.
Algore is going to buy it with the Carbon Credit money you send him.

This is a case of an architect who has officially gone insane.

When it''s finished, someone should fly a plane into it just out of spite.

Sales of individual apartments will begin in September, with asking prices of around $3,000 per square foot. The smallest, at 1,330 square feet, would cost about $4 million and the largest, a 12,900-square-foot villa, $38.7 million.

So do you think Cheney has already put money down on his?

I think they are going to have issues that they haven''t thought of yet and it will be longer than they expect by the time it is finished. I also think it will cost more than they expect.

"Fisher acknowledges that he is not well known, has never built a skyscraper before and hasn''t practiced architecture regularly in decades."

Perfect! Keep us posted with how things go.
