KT, Did you notice the following quote in High Tech Strategist? Notice the use of the word "opponents". Personally, it makes me very happy when respected mainstream people use words like "opponents". I think honest hard working people that want to make a living, save a bit, invest in the future of America etc.. should consider Alan Greenspan, many in the government and many on Wall St as opponents - if not out and out enemies. The policies of the last decade or more clearly resulted in enormous wealth transfers up the financial ladder. They are currently making it extremely difficult to protect the fruits of one's life's labor in even the most conservative dollar denominated assets. There's is almost nowhere to hide. Even Bill Gross is starting to get really antsy. "Our opponents (Federal Reserve, the Congressional and Executive branches of the U.S. Government and the Wall Street power brokers) are throwing everything they have left in a last-ditch, desparate attempt to turn the sliding economy and stock market around..."

WTF? keystone cops... Wednesday September 03, 2003 BRUSSELS: Civil and military authorities in Pakistan have decided to provide additional military and security personnel to Saudi Arabia to fill the gap created by the withdrawal of the US and other Western troops from the Kingdom, reliable defence sources told The News. Saudi Arabia has already given a pledge to Pakistani authorities it would welcome additional Pakistani military and security advisers and troops primarily to replace the Western military personnel who have left the kingdom over the last year. Pakistani military personnel in Saudi Arabia would play an effective role in several projects designed to bolster the defence and security of the kingdom. "Pakistani military and security personnel sent to Saudi Arabia would play two-pronged security related role: first, to replace some of the westerners who have left or leaving the kingdom and secondly, to help in the expansion of the security related projects already being executed by Pakistani personnel in Saudi Arabia," the defence source underlined. The defence sources indicated that the need of Pakistan military and security personnel in Saudi Arabia would increase enormously in the days to come as the acceptability of the American troops in the Kingdom is affected by the recent cleavage in the US-Saudi relations created by a 28 pages of the joint congressional report on the events leading up to the terror attacks on September 11, 2001, which American refuse to declassify despite repeated requests by Saudi Arabia. The changed circumstances have provided yet another opportunity to further bolster the defence and security relations in Pakistan and Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia has already conveyed to the government of Pakistan its decision to get more Pakistani military and security advisers and personnel, the defence source indicated. The report on new enthusiasm in Pak-Saudi defence and security relations has perplexed none in the West as Western governments are aware of the fact that Pakistan is a leading ally of Saudi Arabia. Pakistani armed forces are regarded as the most reliable source always available to bolster the defence and security of Saudi Arabia and the Gulf region. Citing the role played by the Pakistani armed forces in Saudi Arabia and the Gulf, the defence source said, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Libya, Jordan and other countries had been inviting Pakistani military missions to reorganize and train their defence forces. In the Gulf War of 1991, Pakistani ground forces played their role in Saudi Arabia’s defence, and thereafter in prolonged mine clearing operations in Kuwait. Pakistani fighter pilots took part in aerial combat over Syria against Israeli pilots, the defence source recalled. "The initiative to further strengthen Pakistan-Saudi military relations by sending more Pakistani military and security personnel is suited to both the countries as Pakistan helps in operating aircraft and navel vessels in Saudi Arabia, besides training military and security personnel in the Kingdom", a defence report opined. Additional Pak forces in Saudi Arabia, besides other operations, would put in action the expansion plan of the existing light weapons and ammunition production venture in the Kingdom by including the project to produce mortar and heavy munitions, the defence source said. jang.com.pk Èñòî÷íèê: Zia Iqbal Shahid The News International, Pakistan ===== ", Inc.
