CNN is running a story at this time about the Serbs shooting an F117. It looks real because Serb TV is showing pictures. Not much left but I think I saw enough of a piece of the canopy to know it is an F117. They also are reporting a Canadian F116 was also shot down. Knew it was going to happen sooner or later.

I'll give ya that... (that guy sounds like he's one of the Branch Davidians -g-) but I do agree w/ the way paper currencies are being sloshed around the globe while governments attempt to manipulate them causing even more damage. The whole system (based on the US as the creator of the value of "wealth" ie- printing dollars) is unstable by nature... but great for us as long as it works I guess. We have this great deal... we print up some green ink on little sheets of paper and get to trade it for stuff like oil, gold, and aynthing else tangible. Other countries don't get to do that. They must first sell their stuff for our paper... then they can print up one of their pieces of paper. Recall, it wasn't but about 70 years ago when the entire world economy was based on the British pound which was backed by gold. They didn't have derivatives back then of course... ho ho
