evidence not produced to U.N. has more value in hidden form WMD not found is cause for wider occupation into Syria future terrorist acts justify squelching dissent at home quote from Rumsfeld in late 2002: "absence of evidence is not evidence of absence" we are fast moving into a Fascist Amerikan state we can do anything we want, since the Soviet Union is dead the ends are justifying the means the premises quickly become moot, after benefits realized all for the greater good those who point out the successes of this war are horrendously short on realizing the heightened risks, both inside the USA and outside the USA T minus 9 months (or 9 weeks) until Mushareef is assassinated then Islamics have both Pakistan and the bomb stated by my Paki buddy, born and raised in Karachi his quote "Americans have no idea what they have started" however, I salute the death of Chemical Ali and I hope that Saddam and his two imbecile sons are dead in the rubble these butchers are celebrated among Arabs but they are Arabic Hitlers, nothing more, nothing less may God have a torturous plan for their decrepit souls / jim

Eric Fry comments on bonds (from Daily Reckoning) extent of financial illiteracy is utterly astounding no limits to its boundaries "Is the bond market another bubble that's about to burst?" wonders Andrew Caffrey of the Boston Globe. "Bond mutual funds are still pumping out profits in the three- year bear market, and investors are continuing to chase performance, throwing billions into funds that buy government and corporate debt. It's a scenario that looks a lot like that other bubble, the one in the late 1990s when the herd stampeded into stocks on the promise of ever- higher returns, and equity mutual funds were awash with money. Amazingly, Caffrey notes, many investors in bonds and bond mutual funds don't even know the risks they're taking. According to a Vanguard survey conducted last year, nearly 70 percent of respondents did not understand that when rates rise, bond prices fall. This widespread ignorance also suggests that most investors are unaware of the potential for losing money in a bond fund. "Ignorance is bliss" may apply to marital affairs, but not to financial affairs. / jim
