Looks like Alan Greenspan is having the same problem!

>>>Uncertainties over a possible war against Iraq are weakening a major pillar of US economic growth, iconic banker Alan Greenspan has warned.

Mr Greenspan, chairman of the US Federal Reserve, has said that political instabilities have only acted as a further brake on business investment, a significant prop to economic growth.<<<

So, this speech will be the end of his career.

>>>Powell said he read a transcript of "what bin Laden — or who we believe to be bin Laden" will be saying on the Al-Jazeera Arab satellite station later Tuesday, "where once again he speaks to the people of Iraq and talks about their struggle and how he is in partnership with Iraq." <<<

By hook or by crook they are determined to link Al Qaeda to Iraq.

>>>Al-Jazeera chief editor Ibrahim Hilal told The Associated Press late Tuesday that his office had just received an audio tape with bin Laden's voice. He said he and the station's board were listening to the tape and would make a decision on when to air it. <<<

Only a stone's throw from the Al-Jazeera broadcasting station, on the island of Qatar, are at least 50,000 US troops. Clearly the tape was delivered by messenger direct from US Military HQ where "bin Laden" made the tape. No wonder Colin Powell knew what it said before it had been aired.
