<now, talk to Maurice about CDMA/QCOM, ACF Mike about blue-chip stocks, and CB (where is CB?) about money, depression, and the second coming of Maestro Greensputin, in the form of Professor BurnAndKaput.> Thanks Jay. Without you, I would feel silly giving detailed explanations about the greatness of Uncle Al KBE and CDMA every couple of days. Where is CB? Maybe she has retreated to outback Montana to wait out the latest Al Qaeda threat which might yet turn out to have actual foundation. They seem to want Americans to believe that they have something much bigger and better than 911. They might or might not be the little boy who cried wolf. I can imagine that they could have imported 3 or 5 nukes and have them stashed, awaiting the right time to demonstrate their prowess to the USA. They might explode one, threaten that unless the USA immediately withdraws from the Islamic Jihad lands, they'll explode another. Calling their bluff, the USA ignores the deadline which results in another lot of dead. The threat is made again. Would the USA wait to see if it's a double bluff? Or triple bluff? Or quadruple bluff? The Japanese absorbed only two before surrendering [albeit after a huge war and damage already having been taken]. What could Al Q possibly have that could cause Americans to "shed tears of blood rather than tears as happened in September"? Al Q claims they have something really big. The threat with only a bluff backing it is pointless. It would be better to leave doubt rather than confirm Al Q impotence by failing to carry out a threat. CB might be taking the threat seriously. I should click on her name to see. edit... not awol Message 20278608 Mqurice
