Exc post there, PaulM ... RE: Andy's "getting at" N his re: foreign Au withdrawals from our shores. Don't you remember when IRAN got their gold embargoed just before we took strong measures to get our hostages back? They didn't get the "gold dust/pocket change" until about 15 months ago if memory serves. WE sued the hell outta 'em, as well as all the family members who had their loved ones lawfully imprisoned, as well as the family of that poor old fella in a wheelchair they killed by pushing overboard. Holding their gold hostage stateside was the ONLY lever we ended up having with that crazy bunch of hooligans! Sounds to me like Andy is trying to wave a brakeman's lantern re: repurcussions of our next assault, this time on Kosovo. Evidently Russian sabre rattling is making him nervous... What say you to this analysis...(I promise to be nice<VBG>)? O/49r
