Re: That's why I go through all the posts, some are very informative, unlike most threads which are 95% crap. Charley Munger, the #2 man at Berkshire-Hathaway has a lovely expression for this. He terms it looking for the raisins in the turd. Speaking of which, Tariq Ali got the best of Tony Bliar today on Democracy NOW!, commenting on Britain's contracting agility in Iraq: democracynow.org TARIQ ALI: "This is a colonial occupation taking place in a neo-liberal world, where the Iraqi merchants, traders, capitalists, are not being given the chance as foreign companies are going in. I don't know whether you noticed, Amy, but Britain which certainly could have expected more, given Blair's loyalty, has been handed the contract for doing the sewage works in Iraq, which indicates that someone in the Pentagon has a sense of humor. They've given Blair the job he really has been doing for Bush ever since they decided to go to war." ;')
