Britain-Iraq-Blair London He said the report published by the UN's chief arms inspector Richard Butler showed the Iraqi authorities had carried out a ''plan of deceit'' to prevent the inspectors conducting their work. ''The report details not merely the obstruction itself, but the obstruction directly relates to the documents, sites and personnel that would give a clue as to the whereabouts of the weapons of mass destruction and their capacity,'' he said. The UN weapons inspectors withdrew from Baghdad on Wednesday. Their sudden departure removed a potential obstacle to air strikes. Earlier Blair's spokesman said the Moslem holy month of Ramadan, due to start later this week, was a serious consideration in deciding the timing of any attack, although he added that the strikes could not be organised immediately.

Please advise if TA takes into consideration war, weather, worried presidents, whacky dictators, wishful oil sheiks, woeful economies, wasscaley (sp) production cheaters, way too much or way too little oil? While the above question is a little lighthearted, the intent is not. I'm certainly not wise in the ways of TA and simply wonder how it can be applied to commodities with any degree of accuracy. Especially this commodity. The spikes (up or down) caused by outside influences must be reflected in the charts, but there's nothing technical about those influences. I can see how TA can be useful with most other sectors, but how it can be accurate in this one mystifies me. Your explanation is most appreciated. RC
