can't stand sapp...gotta root for raiders. re market...i think we nosedive over next few days. vix and p/c should be juicy for a bounce at that point which would correlate well with the 69-70 plan. as bearish as i am, i have to respect the tea leaves. we'll see.

lol, max, we really look at that situation differently, don't we? it will be interesting to see which way it all plays out.

when i saw the reports my first thought was that it cinched the War in '04 scenario. by the administration appearing to push so hard NOW it will appear he was very reluctant to delay the war and only did so to "appease" all the international concerns because, really, deep down he has a unimagineable depths of respect for the international community.

while the reality is he's merely using this whole process as a way of providing beautiful political cover for going to war during election season, an otherwise sticky issue.

this has the stench of nixon/kissinger all over it.

Max: re: ("Iraqi uncertainty will not be alleviated this week and i hazard at least for two more weeks")

I agree. And with news like this Houston Chronicle headline "U.S. prepares for possible use of nukes in Iraq, expert says" chron.com
this could be one HELL of a year on many fronts. Then there's the looming danger of attack on our homeland by sleeper cells in response to our actions.

Add the uncertainties related to Indian-Pakistan, China-Taiwan, and North Korea. Then there's the growing threat from the south from Al Qaeda cells training in South America near where Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay borders meet. Then there is the threat from other terror groups and states in the mid-east (Hezbollah and Hamaz...) which is not likely to go away after Iraq is resolved.

I can't remember a more complex and dangerous time.
