>>i think gradually but surely it may become apparent that stratfor is wrong, and there is no brilliant empire strategy against persia, and that persia is in fact capable and will by and by get the nuke I agree. >>some one leaked that nie report Disagree. I think it is most likely that Bush knew about this weeks before its release, and that it was released with permission and with intent. Bush has decided not to invade or attack Iran at present due to objections from military and his failed attempt to persuade J6P that attack is a good thing, and needed cover for this change in policy. IMHO this 'gang of robbers in hiding' is just as comfortable lying as telling the truth, and enjoys more the sport of lying as it is a more 'in your face' thing to do. The overriding thing for Bush IMHO is not to appear weak. He will do anything to achieve this... as the Plame affair, the Libby pardon, the wiretap/internet tap without warrant, and the recess appointments have revealed, deception is a way of life and a sport for these folks. >>there was no brilliance behind its release if done by official sanction Agreed. The Klingons would say: "They have no honor."

TJ, you and elmat know - in all things - business, investments, politics - we are being "gamed" or should I put it we are the "game" to be eaten. It's all a big poker game where the players are cheats, with constant bluffing, misinformation and a crooked house. Losers get eaten, or suffer a long slow death. Kill or be killed. Who cares what a report says about Iran - Iran has nuclear centrifuges. Maybe 10, maybe 1000's. They're still working on whatever they're working on - or sitting on it ready to start working on it again. And, they'll continue to leverage that chip. Keep the crew cynical! Goes for gold, too. I laughed when I read Gold was a short in '08. The first thing I thought was...They're trying to steal my gold again! Another I glanced at today - some oil expert goes bearish on oil. YEAH RIGHT! So oil drops to 60 or 80 bucks. We're gonna be swimming in oil again. HA! Has nothing to do with the holiday season, fake gov stats, or some dufus just got it wrong. Go buy another SUV for Christmas! Trading on sentiment can generate some cash. Investing on sentiment can kill you. Enough of me. Cheers.
