Jim Willie CB on the potential risks of attacking Iraq...

Message 18635959

<<...this country suffers from massive delusion
the economy is sliding backwards
the energy tax is gonna cripple households and businesses
material costs are rising
corp earnings will erode further (already bad)
bad inflation has hit our shores
pricing power is still gone, but production costs are rising

I expect numerous unexpected events if we attack Iraq
like Saudi regime being hit with severe test
like Saudi oilfields coming under AlQaeda attack
like Iran taking advantage of the situation and grabbing some Iraqi lands, like the Basra area under dispute since the 1980 war...>>
