Bit crowdy here?!

Read some interesting information with MSCNBC about Clinton and questions like how expensive this all could be for an US-president. Considering a discussed "fee" of 1 Mio, it's quite reasonable to let 200 millions blow away over the oldest civilisation of the western world. 20 Iraqis death - I wish it was true.

Again tenthousends must die for the blow-votes of some weapon-industry-lobbyists. Proud on this great nation I ask the question why Boeing and Raytheon don't more for it's shareholders? Possibly it's quite expensive to motivate undependent lawmakers.

JT, The basic problem I have is

(other than the timing) that I do not believe that that part of the world is in the "sphere of influence" of either the U.S. or U.K. Seems that it has long been in the sphere of influence of the French and the Russians. Without their support, I'm just not sure that it can have a favorable resolution.

Back in CAT for 1000 @ 41 5/16. We'll see.

Jurgen; RE:" Attack on Iraq - American Sentiment "

>How do you see the impact of the recent Iraq-attack in the market? Is that "good news" for US-persons? Will that compensate the impeachment-decision? Even if the decision will be against Clinton?

Be nice, give me a bit of feeling for the sentiment in US - I'm "swimming", don't have any idea how the US-public judges the situation...


" ...and this LIVE picture from Baghdad shows >BLAM< hundreds of tracers, lighting up the night sky >BLAM< and we can hear the roar of jets or cruise missles overhead, and see smoke in the distance... "

" ...Christine, any word on casualties ?"

" ...no, Larry - we have heard that at least 2 people were killed, and as many >BLAM< as 25; there is no panic in the streets here. There are reports, unconfirmed, that one errant cruise >BLAM< missle has struck a residential neighborhood..."

" all-lah akk-barrr..."

" ...the Muslim prayers have >BLAM< begun, Larry - even though it is in the middle of the night, the public address systems all over the city recite these >BLAM< holy prayers at fixed times during the day and night..."

" ...Senator Cain, do you feel awkward watching a live picture from Baghdad during a bombing by U.S. military forces - with prayers being broadcast over the city ?"

" ...I've seen the face of war, Larry - and *** "

blip - blip - blip

"Rick-eeeeee !"

"Lucy, that's my final word on the subject, and good-bye! " >slam<

"Lucy, you know you can't go to The Club to see Ricardo Montalban! Especially since Ricky..."

"Nothing's gonna stop me, Ethel - I'VE GOT A PLAN !"
