Resuming Transmission with Jassim Boodai Video
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Kuwait2005 is glad to announce the resumption of transmission.
If you read Sunday's newspapers in Kuwait, you might have read about Al Rai Al Aam's Editor-in-Chief Jassim Boodai legal troubles. So what did he actually say? To find out, take a look at the video yourself, posted by q8direct-blogspot.com last February. The actual footage was aired first on C-Span 2 on 20-01-2006. It is must-see-tv. Some people thrive on controversy and want to appear as the champions of civil rights and liberties. However, many of these people fail miserably in the end.

nibaq..i searched c-span but wasn't much help. Lost interest in the whole thing after 5 minutes. The guy wants coverage and looking at jboodai he's getting it big time!
yazeed..Now that site is making one hell of a statement!! Why would someone take the time, and effort, to do this? I must admit it is a comprehensive site.
General..funny thing is that Boodai, in his Sunday opening in Al Rai Al Aaam claims that individuals posted the video online because they had it in for him. However, he fails to note that the original publisher was C-Span, a highly credible source! Unless C-Span have it in for him too! The thing that grabbed my attention is how this guy thinks that people are stupid. He says one thing in his newspaper in Arabic, and another in the video in English thinking it will never make it back to Kuwait in any way shape or form. If he had respect for people's intellect, he would have been more careful. It's his war to fight now. I don't find it interesting or worth the storm that is being unleashed right now in Kuwait.

first off stop being so closed minded and actually listen to what the guys saying. il rayal mina o feena fa y would he make all this shit up if it wasn't true? the reason people are so angry is because the guy is speaking the truth and he's the only one that's actually trying to do something about it. you have to admit there a LOT of truth to wats he's saying. o tara sta7aw 3ala wayihkum the guy has a family so about you show some respect! he's not some outsider saying things about us he knows nothing about...il 3aks he knows wat he's talking about...he's right AND he's not afraid to say it

I trully believe that the truth has been spoken here. People usually hate to hear the truth, the bare truth as it comes. LOTS of kuwaitis are lazy... truth, all they do is drive around and work 5 hours a day, only 30 minutes is producive. During the invation the people who left the country were paid off by the government, that is a good thing, the bad thing is that people don't appreciate that and took it for granted. Oil will finish, if not in our time then in our kids time for sure and that's why we need to wake up and invest on peoples' and minds instead of dropping loans and giving up false salaries, I mean I've seen people with high school diploma that want to be managers!!! . jassim boodai started the conversation with "how diplomatic you want me to be ?" if he was, then we wouldn't be here discussing this. His newspaper is very respectable, unlike Alsha'ab newspaper, which posted the event as if it was a scandle. What people don't know is that this guy, bo yabes, is using his tiolet paper, I mean "newspaper", for his personal vengance and propaganda. it is well known around that he has a price on the market... if not, then why he doesn't write about the other very major issues involving big families? this is so lame and this bo yabes is a major hypocrite. Check out older issues of Alsha'ab and you'll see what I mean. some issues just magically became quite!! why? funny enough, and to my limited knowledge, that he used to be a constant visitor to jassim boodai... I wonder what happened?

yazeed makufloos..the apology seems to do the job. I read somewhere the Amir called Boodai for a meeting. Interesting turn of events. Maybe just a pinch of the ears.
Sara..You're too low for me to respond to. "shit?" "sta7aw 3ala wayihkum?" No wonder you defend him ;)
casper..Its not a matter of truth or not. It's the approach! I mean to speak like that about sensitive issues and to who? Complete foreigners who represent the sole super-power? What is he trying to achieve by mocking the invasion? Or mocking burgan oilfield and the Emirate? He could have said what he did in a nice and understandable way. What he said reflects how he views himself and his country, which is really not something to be proud of in front of Americans and a camera rolling. The American delegation was more shocked at how Boodai was mocking his country than what he's saying. Finally, if he was convinced and that he was saying truth, he would not have apologized, betting that people's ignorance will prevail, and he will be forgiven. Cheap style.

ViVaMoNdiAL2006 talk about contradicting yourself; I’m too low for you to respond to and yet you respond anyway. no wonder i defend him? I’m sorry are you making a point or just alluding to one? and yes I am defending him. You’re trashing me because i used the word 'shit'. Why don't you grow up! as for what you said to Casper. Exactly what part of what he said are you not getting? this is not a matter of nationalism. Boodai didn't make up anything. Everything he said has a ring of truth. And so what if it's in front of Americans. its not like they have an amazing idea of what we are and he ruined it. bl 3aks he explained the way we are. and we are like that. we're fortunate to live our lives the way we do but our children won't be and the way we're dealing with the situation is that it's their problem not ours. What show were you watching anyway? "American delegation was more shocked by what he was saying". Drama much? oh and don't bother responding again...remember I’m "too low 4 u"

It has been pretty bad the last 1400 years or so... When more mosques are built than schools or hospitals. It's BAD... just take a look around the results are ovious.
