1. Excellant way to frame the reality of the situation.

3. Well, it occurred to me that GWB was misunderstood.

He spoke of the existence of wmd in Iraq so perhaps when he says "wmd" he means "oil."

[whistle]

2. Not at all, financial WMDs have been around for centuries and as long as

....the Big Central Banks and the Federal Reserve are around we will go right on "getting it up the ass" on the PT Barnum basis that a sucker is born every day.

[whistle]

5. Someone said it, maybe you did

[whistle]

6. Actually he did say that, so do your own research
