    To quote on SAS officer when brought in to rescue British citizens in a terrorist situation:

    The Mossad is considered top-notch as well.
    When given the choice between big business and big government, choose big business. Big business never threw millions of people into gas chambers, but big government did.

    Sanjuro, US forces in Cambodia was NOT a secret. It was openly known, especially by the cambodians who were there. In today's cell phone camera, internet access, info at the speed of sound world if we were engaged in anything remotely liek Cambodia it would be HUGE NEWS
    Agreed with 100%.

    Once again the market is circling the bowl!

    However something is not quite right here. People are predicting world wide recession. Usually a reaction to this is to run to the precious metals market for protection......gold is down.....Strange times!

    I liked what Greenspan said yesterday..."I didn't do it!"....sure Alan!

    It was to be foreseen, with the raising fuel costs and the slow done in the economy, most companies will show a loss pf sales and/or profit and as such, the markets will reflect that.
    The media should NOT blow it out of proportion though and realize that scaring the consumer is NOT the way to fight this.

    I would not argue or hold the opinion for a president to be removed from office if the military under that president was ordered to kill Bin Laden under the circumstances that Pakistan knew exactly and undeniably where he was but did not kill him or agree to hand him over.

    If a president ordered an arbitrary bombing on Pakistan or any other sovereignty without declaration of war according to the constitution, then yes, I feel that president should be impeached and removed from office and tried in court.

    Dangerous precedents have been set, that could lead to a further disregard of our constitutional law and would be a far greater threat to our national security than foreign terrorists and extremists.

    With crude oil dropping maybe we'll see fuel prices drop again too.

    It'd be nice to get something out of the CAD tailspin of the last month after all.

    Fuel around my way is already dropping pretty well. I'll check later today but the other day, the Shell around my way was $2.59/gal for regular (87 octane).

    And yet, demand has only dropped 10% world wide. What we see now is that gas prices were driven up almost entirely by speculators, not because of increased demand over the last few years like Republicans were insisting.

    A BBl of oil will be $50 by January, which is were prices should have been all along anyway.
