Where would we march from, to take Mongolia? ... not Hong Kong i think, as it hasn't been one of the pink bits on the world map for some time .... we could send a troop of cavalry from Afghanistan i suppose, if we had one, but we don't, because right after we sold the chinooks to the dutch we sold the horses to the liechtensteiners for the scrap value in the horseshoes .... we could put a [duly registered of course] long-gun in the canoe, call it a gunboat, and send it up-river, except there are no rivers that go that way, we'd have to put wheels on it and push, and the chinese and/or russians would surely notice the dust behind .... hmm, well, as we're pondering this, could someone please post All Trades for ggc.v? ... i'd like to make sure today's action is just from one 'motivated seller' as the real estate types say before i mortgage the ranch here .... since it's good to be careful what you conquer, lest it conquer you back, eh .... cheers

Ralph-e Of course I know you were talking about Canada. We (Canada) are in Afghanistan. (All those burka bearing abused women probably prefer our troops there... but yes I cannot really speak for them..) You apparently would prefer our troops to be in Mongolia ? (I know you did not say THAT) ... to protect your interests (with their GONADS no less LOL) ;O) but doesn't have the gonads to defend our companies overseas against economic terrorists who affect every one of us. hmmm! I have nothing to defend in Mongolia. No economic terrorists bothering me.. No Ivan, No ETG.. not anything there... mostly invested in good old Canada... even my scant gold holding (OK I still have some TK).. so I guess I have nothing to harangue the government about re: Mongolia.. a drop in the bucket... if we focus on any economic trade issues wouldn't we be better advised to dealing with our neighbour to the south (83% of our trade I think)... and better still to expanding our trade with China, Japan, Europe.. to reduce that 83% ??? than messing with hinterland areas like Mongolia ? Your statement sounded oh so startlingly reminiscent of the gunboat diplomacy applied by the US among others in China, hence it was an imperialistic statement.. The trade going through Windsor in 2 weeks is apparently equivalent to our annual trade with Japan... Mongolia ??? hah! The government should rush off to Mongolia to secure the financial dealings of a handful of gold investors ? It has other important things to do I think which it is already remiss in handling methinks... pshaw!!!! BTW by your stated logic it follows by corollary that the US would be more than justified in nailing Chavez for nationalizing the oil business ??? Are you secretly George Bush LOL AL reread my post :O) I didn't say you were angry ... Later ... it's doggie time..
