Mike, I wonder if Bill Clinton ever met Indira Gandhi to get such a crocked advice. She would do a thing like this - distract the attention. Clearly, Clinton is putting more Americans at risk of terroist attack by doing this. -MMV

Mike, I'm always leery of any "draft dodger" who all of a sudden wants to play cowboy. If he really wanted to impress me he'd take a Tom Clancy approach, and take them all out.<g> Regards, Bob

Comforting to know that not everyone who voted for the guy is not necessarily happy with him right now, even though that's what the media is telling us. I don't know -- I even have to give him the benefit of the doubt on this one -- surely he wouldn't be so silly as to think that bombing some folks would take the heat off of him ...

MB-it is my understanding that BC converted much of the US$ debt from 30 yr. to 3 yr. or something like that. Do you know exactly what he did? If that is correct, isn't that like converting your home mortgage to credit cards just because of a temporary glitch in favorable rates. This seems quite reckless.

Prez. Bubba musta rented that movie "Wag the Dog" and thought "geez, I could do that".. (movie has the same plot.. .domestic troubles for the prez, so his handlers devise a 'war' to distract the public).... I'm not recommending that anyone rent this one, but from what I can recollect (I had alot to drink or I was pretty baked) it wasn't that good....

MB - I really despise that Clinton's our president, and I admit that the timing couldn't have been better (for him), but I also admit that I was reading the paper this morning saying "Why don't we bomb the heck out of these terrorist countries instead of sitting back and waiting for the next plane to explode?" I do appreciate your cynicism tho. Anywho, do you have a position in Incyte? Why or why not? And does the recent accelerating fall make you want it more or less? This is one hot knife, but I know the technology and all is well long term. Just curious for your view. Good investing, Mike
