I have always believed that by having Quayle as his running mate in 92, Bush sr purposely threw in the towel. He could have won if he'd dumped Dan. Although, compared to GWB, Dan Quayle is looking like a genius and Clinton a hero. Gee, I wonder how long before jla shows up and calls me one of his family names.

I think the Saudi currency move may be significant to determine the crisis.
guardian.co.uk
According to the Financial Times, disgruntled Saudis have withdrawn as much as $200bn (£131bn) as relations between the US and Saudi Arabia come under increasing strain.


I think that this may be more than a protest. Junior may find himself pushed into the wider war that Bin Laden was seeking. The Saudi's will want to protect their assets against siezure when the fighting spreads.
