Nah... the asset bubble simply moved into an even larger area and grew larger, abeited by sustained below-zero real interest rates. But the air is now seeping out of real estate.

Bush Lays Groundwork for Iraq Pullout We noted last week that even as President Bush rejected a pullout from Iraq, the Pentagon was planning for a major withdrawl of troops. Now, the Los Angeles Times says Bush will give "a major speech" on Wednesday "in which aides say he is expected to herald the improved readiness of Iraqi troops, which he has identified as the key condition for pulling out U.S. forces." "The administration's pivot on the issue comes as the White House is seeking to relieve enormous pressure by war opponents. The camp includes liberals, moderates and old-line conservatives who are uneasy with the costly and uncertain nation-building effort... The developments seemed to lay the groundwork for potentially large withdrawals in 2006 and 2007, consistent with scenarios outlined by Pentagon planners." I guess that would mean he was against it before he was for it. Related News "Trophy Video" Shows Civilian Shootings "A 'trophy' video appearing to show security guards in Baghdad randomly shooting Iraqi civilians has sparked two investigations after it was posted on the internet," the Sunday Telegraph reports. "The video has sparked concern that private security companies, which are not subject to any form of regulation either in Britain or in Iraq, could be responsible for the deaths of hundreds of innocent Iraqis." If the video is deemed authentic, it will make the pictures from Abu Ghraib prison seem like a trivial matter. Crooks and Liars also has the video.
