    Default Exaggeration, Lies or Propoganda?

    News + Facts:
    Cisco opens an office in Dubai.
    http://online.wsj.com/article/BT-CO-...?mod=wsjcrmain

    # of Cisco employees in the US: Around 50,000+

    # of planned NEW employees in the Dubai office over the next FIVE years: 650

    Opinion by a well respected poster:

    Cisco Systems is breaking ground on a new corporate headquarters in Dubai ... which when completed will absorb about 1/2 of the jobs at Cisco which are currently located on the US west coast ?

    Essentially
    Cisco: We are a global company and we need a new regional headquarters in the fastest growing region. This creates 650 NEW jobs over the next FIVE years

    Well Respected Poster: Cisco is cutting 25000 jobs and moving headquarters to a Muslim country to avoid taxes sending the US economy down the toilet
