(20:05) Report: Iraq moving forces West

There are unconfirmed reports from the US State Department that Iraq has begun to move military forces to the west. CNN says that the Hammurabi Brigade, under the control of the Republican Guard, was moved.

During the Gulf war crisis in 1991, Israel made it clear to the Iraqi government that any troop movement westward toward Jordan and Israel would be considered tantamount to an act of war.

(21:00) Ancient synagogue burnt to the ground

The ancient "Shalom Al Yisrael" synagogue in Jericho is being burnt to the ground at this hour, according to Jerusalem Post reporter Margot Dudkevitch.

Elsewhere, she says there is an uneasy quiet, with one or two instances of clashes between Palestinians and Israeli forces.

A full closure is in place on the territories tonight and Jews have been told not to leave their homes in Judea, Samaria and Gaza overnight.

Prime Minister Ehud Barak called for the creation of an emergency government, following tonight's crisis meeting of the cabinet.

<<Which is what they (the Saudis) will do, as they have done for the last 20 years. Keep up the rhetoric, and keep the oil flowing. Talk never hurt anyone. >>

but next you say:

<<Of course Saudi statements will effect oil prices. I didn't say that they wouldn't. >>

Which way is it, does an energy policy matter or not? Does oil price impact our nation or not?

You can't have it both ways.
