Well, there's one US ship out of commission for a year or so... And with it's integrated state of the art air-defense system, it's a serious loss. My prayers go to those who suffered losses in this tragedy... Btw, I'm still trying to figure out the "angle" with regard to the timing and target of this bombing, as well as the style which, based upon my experience and knowledge, is unique and potentially very disturbing since any US flagged ship is now a target. After pondering it over today, I initially believed it might have been a warning for the US to not back Israel... But now, I'm more of the inclination that it may be more sophisticated than that, namely an attempt aimed at making home-front pressure almost assuredly anti-arab, thus insuring the US will not be able to act as an "honest broker" of peace. This will provide the extremists the opportunity of forcing the "final confrontation" with the Jews. It will be interesting to see how much the Saudis permit themselves to be "pushed" into escalating violence. One thing is sure however, I think we'll see a major sell-off tomorrow unless there is some positive news to report. Who in their right mind wants to hold stocks over the weekend (except energy stocks and maybe gold). Too much can happen over the space of two non-trading days. Regards, Ron
