BASRA, IRAQ - OCTOBER 18: People gather around a Land Rover as it arrives at the village Al Houta on October 18 2008 near Basra, Iraq. The trip by the 51 Sqn Royal Air Force Regiment Force Protection Wing was part of a 'key leader engagement' (KLE) visit to the village close to the Basra Airbase to recruit local labour and engage with the village shiek. Visits of this type are seen as key in efforts to continue winning the support of the local Iraqi population. Although improved security in the region has brought some benefits such as improved trade and commerce, much of the infrastructure remains in a poor state of repair. Britain's Prime Minister Gordon Brown has indicated that the number of UK troops could be scaled down - especially as the security situation in the south of the country continues to improve.

Quotes about Bruce Ratner
Bruce Ratner has had absolutely no discussions with anyone from Dubai or Russia
said Howard Rubenstein

I think he will sell as soon as the Brooklyn thing dies, and it looks like it's dying. I think Bruce Ratner will sell. I don't think he has any interest in the team, other than bringing it in as the centerpiece to the new project in Brooklyn. Which, if you read and look at the opposition, and realize the climate economically and everything else, looks like it might be dead.

The general project plan wasn’t legally binding, and it wasn’t anything that [Forest City Chief Executive Bruce] Ratner could legally rely on to do his project

The IRS's attempt to favor Bruce Ratner to the tune of an estimated $165 million on the backs of federal taxpayers, for a project that does nothing for those taxpayers, is obscene and offensive in the midst of an historic $700 billion bailout and a national fiscal crisis

In a prior but unrelated decision, the Appellate Division ordered ESDC to hold a hearing when the project that it had proposed was changed. Judge Solomon avoided the hearing issue entirely by saying it's the same project. How come Bruce Ratner won't contractually commit to a ten year project, Phase II has no time limit, but Judge Solomon finds there's no evidence it's not the same project?

I don't remember any of Bloomberg's four stooges on the MTA board raising their voices about the less-than-50%-of-the-MTA's-own-appraised-value giveaway of the Vanderbilt Railyard to Bruce C. Ratner. Et tu, Bloomy?

It creates jobs it brings people to our community ... But there's no reason for us to be subsidizing this development, and there's no reason for Bruce Ratner to use his powers, to use his connections to force Lower Manhattanites to make decisions and to subsidize his projects.
said Paul Newell
We have been waiting for this school for far too long to allow it to be held up at the whims of Bruce Ratner's development schedule ... Once again, Shelly Silver has sided with his big money donors over the interests of Lower Manhattanites. The corporate welfare of millions of dollars in unwarranted tax breaks to Bruce Ratner is an insult to New York City's children in this time of fiscal belt tightening.
