Re: Given that there is enough intelligence at any point to indicate that al Qaeda is about to poison all the cheese in Wisconsin or sink the Statue of Liberty, when to call an alert is pretty much up to Homeland Defense This cheapens all intelligence and makes it sound as though the intelligence is NOT serious or specific, when in fact this past time it has been. British Intelligence has revealed plans for an attack 60 days before the election. More financial institutions than previously disclosed may be at risk of attack, and an al-Qaida operative has told British intelligence that the group's target date is early September, intelligence sources said yesterday. The operative, described as "credible" by British intelligence, told his debriefers that the attack would take place "60 days before the presidential election" on Nov. 2, according to a former senior National Security Council official. On Sept. 2 President George W. Bush is expected to address the Republican National Convention at Madison Square Garden. Re: Kerry has got to change the game somehow. Kerry can do absolutely nothing to change the game right now. World events are what they are. That is an idiotic statement.

thanks I really like stratfor. Is that local, a bay area publication do you know? It seems like a lot of people read it around here. As for hype, there is no hype in the markets. None. Whatever google IPOs for in this climate, in my view it will represent a perfectly fair investment entry point. We're smack dab in the middle of a 70s-style no interest slow bleed in the growth markets in the US. My only question is where is the bottom. Challenger Gray and Christmas just released bad layoff numbers. It may well be that we are actually going back into recession here. Hard to believe.
