Yes, it does.
A few car bombs (horrible as that might be) won't "make the streets run red with blood" or make it so we "won't be able to count the dead".
Guess we'll find out soon enough if this is yet another AQ bluff.
I give it 50/50.
BTW, the price of gold is way up ($428+/oz), and the dollar is down BIG in the past couple of days.
Another thread points to articles saying that large, international money is moving out of the USD as fast as they can - almost w/o regard to what they can get on conversion ratios. Almost like they can't get out fast enough.
This all seems to be a little more than pre-election jitters re: the outcome. Seems like someone expects a big drop in the US economy overnight. And what would trigger something like this, aside from a massive AQ hit?
