Iraqi refugees living in Kansas City talk about oppression, death -- and their hopes for change kansascity.com ........In Hussein's Iraq, he said, good people are routinely stopped, questioned, incarcerated, tortured and killed for no reason. His father, he said, was killed for praying in a mosque that Saddam didn't like. His mother was tortured. All of her teeth were cut out of her mouth. Here (in America), he said, no one stops him, or restricts where he can go, or what he can say or do. In fact, despite the dangerous picture Hussein painted about America, he has found it nothing but friendly and helpful. The Don Bosco Center rented the family a house. The government gave them food stamps and Medicare. "In my country nobody helps you," he said through the translator. "This country helps anybody. It's wonderful."....... ......."The people of Iraq like the people of America," he said. "And the day they take Saddam Hussein out the people of Iraq will never forget the United States.".......

I added to my QQQ short today & covered part of it in AH tonight. I'm looking to cover the rest of today's QQQ short tomorrow on any early weakness. I'm still holding that older QQQ short for the time being. Lots of uncertainty out there. That's not good for equities markets & has restrained corporate spending plans. We're headed into earnings confession season. I figure that this several months long spike in oil with little or no spike in CPI is going to weigh on profit margins. I could be wrong :-\| If so, I hope I can exit my shorts toot sweet ;-) Ö¿Ö
