As president of the Economic Strategy Institute, a Washington think tank, he is in regular contact with the most influential US business leaders, several of whom -- Warren Buffet and George Soros included -- have taken steps to hedge their currency positions against the possibility of a cataclysmic plunge in the greenback.

This article is filled with ignorance, but this is the most telling sentence. Soros sold the dollar short because he wanted to cause an economic crisis to get Bush out of office--he admitted as much. IIRC, he's lost the equivalent of $500 million due to shorting the dollar.

I can't believe I delayed sleep just to read this crap.

Propaganda works as well as terrorism.

It would please me very much to see Soros have to earn his living with a hand organ and a monkey on some busy streetcorner.
