    I was in the room for all four hours of this witchhunt. The shoddy constuction came from a Saudi Company and was replaced and repaired for $6,000 before the Hearing was even announced. And the Saudis and First Kuwaiti haven’t been paid a dime yet.

    The building is even built to allow the size to reduce by selling/donating buildings on the outer perimeter if they aren’t needed. It’s built to shrink.

    And if anyone who watched these two weasles testify can still believe them… they you weren’t really watching. “I-am-prohibited-by-law-from-answering-this-question.” Indeed!

    Slaves didn’t build the Pyramids and they sure as Hell wouldn’t stay around to build something like this.
