How did this guy become wealthy to support all of these Dem's and why is half of FR under the impression that he is a full supporter of Bush and the party because of his gig on Fox?

I thought he was just an analyst who had an inside track into the middle east...which rarely is correct if I might add.

Oh and a paid supporter of Kerry.

This kinda old news, he was a point man for the Clinton Administration regarding the Middle East. He raised tons of cash for the Billy Boy.

He's gone out and earned it?? His consulting business...

>>...and why is half of FR under the impression that he is a full supporter of Bush and the party because of his gig on Fox?

Perhaps because they've heard him voice support of at least some of what Bush has done...and provided suggestions on what he thinks could be done better.

I knew he was a Dem donor a long time ago...even though he does his thing on FoxNews - long term, I don't think he's been any better or worse about predicting the future thanany other talking head.

I don't get the fascination with this guy. He's never right with any of his "inside knowledge". Ijaz is living off his past reputation as somebody who knows a few well-placed people in the Middle East.

For the little good it does.

I agree...I remember about a few weeks before the war he was talking about the massive chemical weapons that were coming into Iraq from Syria and Iran to hit our troops with. I remember Brit Hume was stunned when he Monsoor said that....and of course..it never happened.

I had no idea he was point man for Clinton either...learn something new every day.

I knew that Ijaz was a Democrat so that fact wasn't any secret.

He made his bones with conservatives by claiming that Slick Willie turned down several offers to turn bin Laden over to us.

And in the final analysis, Ijaz is a Muslim.

Seems to me he had a change of heart when the Clinton people would do nothing but block his efforts to get them to accept the Sudan's offer of Bin Laden. I think he has been particularly well informed about things going on in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq and Iran. I like to hear what he has to say. Besides, this contribution info is old news; I saw it posted a long time ago.

Mansoor Ijazz is the head of an investment company,with assets of (last I looked) about 3/4 BILLION dollars (US).

His father was a nuclear physicist in Pakistan,who did some work on power plants,then came to US-supposedly so he would not have to work on atom bombs.

Father then went into real estate,MAY have had access to some of that "Arab Charity" money.

Mansoor went to school here-I believe in Virginia.He too was into nuclear physics-but he dropped out short of a doctorate when his father got sick.He then came home and ran the family business for a while before going into brokerage.

Fox News uses him as a consultant sometimes,and, every so often,he'll appear on Fox with a "the sky is falling !" story-which is almost always false,but which probably gives him a chance to scare the hell out of some segment of the overseas market,and reap a nifty profit.

Clinton used him as an "unofficial ambassador" at times-and got a wagonload of campaign money from Ijazz and his friends-but does not seem to have entirely trusted him.

Thanks for the info there...I knew stuff about him but not the entire history...finding out Charlie Danniels supports Democrats was a bit of a shock as well today.

Although I agree that he has yet to prove out his inside scoops, his story of turning over Osama has checked out and his resume is extrodinary:

Mansoor Ijaz is founder and chairman of Crescent Investment Management LLC, a New York investment partnership between Ijaz, Lt. Gen. James Abrahamson (USAF Ret), former director of President Reagan's Strategic Defense Initiative, a major Abu Dhabi investment group and the heir of a prominent European shipping family. Former CIA Director Amb. R. James Woolsey serves as vice chairman of Crescent's Advisory Board of Governors. HSH Prince Alfred of Liechtenstein serves as a member of the Advisory Board of Governors with oversight responsibility for the firm’s philanthropic and humanitarian activities.

Crescent specializes in the use of quantitative modeling techniques to manage investment portfolios. Crescent's new MENARA family of private equity funds, currently in formation, focuses on three strategic investment sectors: national security technologies, including internet security, satellite imaging and air and seaport cargo security, telecommunications, and real estate acquisitions. The firm is headquartered in New York with partner offices in London, Vienna and Abu Dhabi. Ijaz founded Crescent in 1991.

Ijaz received his SM degree in mechanical engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1985 where he trained as a neuro-mechanical engineer in the joint MIT-Harvard Medical School Medical Engineering Medical Physics Program. He received his bachelor's degree Magna Cum Laude from the University of Virginia in 1983, where he majored in Physics. He has applied the extensive modeling experience he gained at MIT and Harvard to develop The CARAT System, Crescent's proprietary currency, interest rate and equity risk management system.




Ijaz's father, Dr. Mujaddid Ahmed Ijaz (deceased), a prominent American physicist, was an early pioneer in developing the intellectual infrastructure of Pakistan's nuclear program.

Ijaz earned All-American weightlifting status while attending the University of Virginia. Born in Florida in 1961 and raised in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, Ijaz lives in New York City today.

He was the go between for Sudan when they wanted to get rid of Osama...I don't think he has commented on anything other than his contacts with the Middle East ( of which he obviously has some). If he has the facts ( and he has them more often than say ooooh how about CNN) then I will isten to him. I haven't seen anyone comment on his politics cause he doesn't make any comments about that...And just for the record who cares who he supports when his job is to comment on the mIddle East?

He worked for the Clinton Adm. and yes he was a Democrat. Mansoor is the one who has said that Clinton turned down the offers to take custody of Bin Laden. Mansoor was one of the negotiaters. I trust him and believe what he says.
