    Trapped in a Hall of Mirrors?

    I suppose you could view the below as sincere, but.... Bush 2/8/2003: "And we have sources that tell us that Saddam Hussein recently authorized Iraqi field commanders to use chemical weapons -- the very weapons the dictator tells us he does not have." from...

    Trapped in a Hall of Mirrors?

    Correct. Dems lie about about security threats too. Ok. I have very little doubt Clinton bombed Iraq a # of times to distract from Monica. Does Clinton's and other Dems unprosecuted war crimes justify and or excuse Blair and Bush's lies and manipulation of 9/11 based fears to lead us into an...

    Trapped in a Hall of Mirrors?

    Saxon, The lies surrounding the Iraq war are not sufficient evidence? Remember the Iraqi WMD threat was not presented as theory or conjecture- but certainty.

    And once again the US government "Wag the Dog".

    Yeah. Hard to trust anything that come from these 2 governments who virtually assured us of the lethal threat from Iraqi WMD's. I have similar doubts and started a similar thread tonite- http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=74737

    Trapped in a Hall of Mirrors?

    Yeah Z, hard to ignore the calendar as well as the near proximity to the Lieberman defeat and its implications for the party of war and terror. Acronym, yes. I am months into enjoying my retirement from Chit Chat modding. :cool:

    Trapped in a Hall of Mirrors?

    Ok. All day I have been trying to reconcile these two facts. 1. The Bush and Blair administrations have repeatedly lied about security threats for ulterior motives. Further, the last time we had color coded terror warnings was the last national election. 2. Terrorists are real and have...

    Iran sending (more?) SAMs to Hizballah

    Thanks for posting this... I think we can now formally characterize this conflict as a proxy war between US and Iran with Israel being resupplied by US and Hezz by Iran.

    Why we fight...

    I just finished watching this movie. I thought it was very artfully, and powerfully done. We are all familiar with Eisenhower's warnings about the "military industrial complex". This movie really flushes out how it operates and has developed a life of its own as Ike feared. One interesting...

    Any ideas on how to tell if it's going to be aq light day?

    I think the connection is more between overnight volatility and trading range not volume per se- sorry if I misunderstood the nature of your question. However, excepting what hypostmus said about the occasional large move on low volume (as in 7/3), volatility is usually tied to increased volume.

    Any ideas on how to tell if it's going to be aq light day?

    I wouldn't call it a direct indicator, but I find the volatility and range of the overnight futs often hint at the tone of the overall market the next day.

    My Conclusions

    I want to emphasize this post as to me the most compelling aspect of trading options- risk control . Long options have it built in- you can never lose more than premium paid. Simple but key.... One other point about "their" ie options market maker's advantage that has not been mentioned amid...

    The Left's New Hero

    Well, there is some precedent to not wanting to stand behind the "I was just following orders" defense as many do consider the Iraq war illegal and full of war crimes. Nonetheless, I agree its a bit suspect if he enlisted after the war began.

    Where does the word "insurgent" come from?

    I read it 3 times just to make sure.... Lets see. US invades Iraq who had never attacked or declared war on US. US removes indigenous government and replaces it one more to its liking. US troops occupy old leaders palaces and take over his prisons which they use to imprison and torture...

    United 93

    Briefly, I will say I often delete these type of off topic exchanges b/c in my view they detract from the topic of the thread- the movie United 93- and instead turn it into a discussion of a poster, Z10. As I read your intense questioning of him (which I have seen on other threads too), I...

    Who says we are not a socialist country?

    I agree. The warm fuzzy utopia theory is communism- remember, the state has withered so its all voluntary.... Socialism is another form of redistribution of wealth(government based instead of corporate control) supposedly on the path to communism.
