I believe the last "war" with Iraq caused our market to ascend. That will not happen this time IMO...too much vulnerabilty right now, and it also gives people a reason to hold off buying as well as sell. I have a very bad feeling about Monday right now. Good Luck Cowboy Brett

Tommaso, Thanks for the article. IMHO this is a classic case of thick politicians having no concept of what they are doing. Desperately trying to make themselves look good to the public and the military/industrial sector while playing into the hands of Saddam. He must be p*ssing himself laughing at the sight of the U.S. flapping it's wings while the stock market melts down. Next week he'll change his mind and let the inspectors in. The politicians have just handed him all the cards. Wish I could say it's a joke. Not with the market exposure I have, unfortunately. Regards, Bond

Hi Tommaso, You posted this 2 weeks ago... so what is new??? WASHINGTON, Nov 2 (Reuters) - U.S. Republican and Democratic congressional leaders said on Sunday they would support prompt military action to force Iraqi compliance with U.N. arms inspectors. "We should take whatever steps are necessary to enforce the rules," House Speaker Newt Gingrich said in a comment echoed by other senior lawmakers. Asked if this included military action, Gingrich replied: "Absolutely." The lawmakers spoke on the NBC television program "Meet the Press" moments after the White House accused Iraq of showing "blatant disregard" for the U.N. Security Council by turning away three American members of a U.N. arms inspection team. Senate Republican leader Trent Lott of Mississippi said: "I suspect that something will have to be done relatively soon." He added that he expected consultations with the White House. House Democratic leader Richard Gephardt of Missouri said the only thing President Saddam Hussein of Iraq seemed to understand was "action -- and that's what's going to have to happen." Senate Democratic leader Thomas Daschle said Saddam's ban on U.S. participation in U.N. inspections due to resume on Monday was "completely unacceptable and I think we have to act sooner rather than later," including by taking possible military action.
