10 potential events that will take the war on a BAD TURN:

- assassination (by AlQaeda) of Pakistan's Mushareef... could lead to acquisition of Islamic Nuclear Bomb... could lead to spread of war to Paki-Indian border

- assassination (by AlQaeda) of a leading member of Saudi Royal Family... could lead to Arab boycott of oil to USA

- bombing (by AlQaeda) of a major Saudi oil terminal

- capture of Kirkuk and Kurdish lands by Turkish Army... could lead to USArmy squaring off against Turks

- nerve gas deaths of 5000 USArmy soldiers

- dehydration deaths of 20,000 Basra residents caught in crossfire

- string of suicide bombings inside Israel

- destroyed oil supertanker in the Persian Gulf

- poisoning of a major US city water supply

- string of bombings at US Shopping Malls (Temples of Overconsumption)

I dont refer to any of these as Ten-Sigma Events
just horrendous events, some of which I believe are written in stone
all with major ramifications to the US Military adventure spirit and US Economy levitation
