So what are you really saying, Pabst? Are you saying we achieved an objective standard in Iraq, and if you make that claim, do you honestly believe to know or have confidence of what is to happen when we withdraw? Are you really not agreeing with me that we could have accomplished a lot...

My plan? If I had been in a position of power, it most certainly would have been to invade the right country, for starters. Have you noticed the shortage of NATO/U.S. troops, and resurgance of the Taliban, in Afghanistan? Yeah. If you don't realize that the Iraq War will enter the...

True enough, but MER took the wind out of the financial sails, while GOOG and MSFT back-doored tech. IBM did beat, though, yet there's no confidence AH.

Wow. Textbook. Financials will be taken out to the woodshed tomorrow. This is where all you fast, nimble and non-greedy traders could have made a healthy, fast profit trading around the cones.

The very worst thing a President, as the Commander In Chief, can do is send American servicemen and servicewomen into combat, thereby jeopardizing their lives, for anything but a genuinely noble and necessary purpose. No one needs to go any further in their analysis, really. If you think...

Do you have a link? I've heard nothing of this and am interested. Thanks.

Whether McCain or Obama is the next president, shouldn't we wait until they do something that constitutes an impeachable offense, before 'getting the papers ready?'

You hope that day will come, but implied you doubted it. Don't let doubt weigh down positive action. When my ancestors were being slaughtered by the Nazis (some would say Germans, but I like to make a distinction, for a variety of complicated reasons I won't bore you the details with now)...

1067 on the S&P. Totally arbitrary guess. If I'm right, I'll claim I had a scientific method all along, and then proceed to buy $50 worth of lottery tickets.

John Lennon? Thanks. I appreciate that compliment. I can see your future, and it's full of hate, cancerous rage and the inability to think freely. Your mind is shackled by an albatross of what you've been told is impossible. I feel sorry for you, hapa.

Beat me to it. Was just about to post those two when I saw this thread. OP, there are still central bankers who are competent. Don't let Bernanke ruin you on all central bankers. I understand the urge, though. Trust me.

So, let me get this straight. Instead of citing a known, pre-1991 circa mound of yellow cake, which was siting in rusting barrels, in a known location (known by every western power), as a reason to invade Iraq, the U.S. constructed a provably false story, based on intentionally manipulated...

Oh, this is the new, feeble, and truly desperate neocon defense of their yellow cake line - seizing on the fact that a pre-1991 circa stockpile of yellow cake was 'found' in Iraq and sold to a Canadian company recently. It just happened to be known about since before '91, was lowly in...

You're correct - Niger. My bad. But the yellow cake and aluminum tube claims have been dismissed as erroneous by the Bush Administration, even. Colin Powell is very upset because he was 'forced' to read what he knew at the time was suspect intelligence at the U.N. Council. He is not...

SteveD, you ignorant slut (I'm joking - sort of). But seriously, that has to be the most ignorant post I've ever read, and that's quite a feat. Yellowcake in Iraq? You are shitting us, right? Didn't you get the memo on the Nigeria bullshit?

+1 (His beard is turning really white, though)

There will be a day where jews and arabs live together in peace, desiring nothing more strongly than to see their children safe, thriving and living in a world unlimited in spiritual, economic and artistic potential. Simple idealism? No. Inevitability. It's happened time and time again...

When stocks get cheap enough, people will buy them, unless they have a lack of transparency regarding their books, assets, etc. If they can't provide transparency, there is most likely a problem. BSC and IndyMac both deserved to be taken out. Do you disagree with that? They both were...
