I believe the top of gold with in the last 3 years is around $430 to $435, to $425 is not far from the peak.
Very insightful analysis. Kudos to you.
Yep...that post...on the outside chance that there's more than meets the eye since we can't see the larger context. It's a long shot but we have some outstanding riflemen right?
One of the warnings from a Jihad site posted several months ago said that there would only be a few minutes warning before the attack and that would be watched by millions via satellite.
"Do they know we have justice for ALL?
No. They don't get it.
Indeed we do......
BIN LADEN ASSAILS BUSH OVER IRAQ IN NEW VIDEO FOOTAGE
Associated Press
Nov. 3, 2004 04:49 PM
CAIRO, Egypt - Terror mastermind Osama bin Laden claimed in new video footage broadcast Wednesday that President Bush ignored warnings against invading Iraq because he was dazzled by the country's "black gold" and ended up leading the United States into a quagmire.
The full video, portions of which were broadcast Friday, was posted on a Web site used by Islamic groups Wednesday. The tape show the author of the Sept. 11 attacks accusing Bush of acting out of what he calls "private" interests - and allusion to his oil business past.
Bush ignored the warnings because "the darkness of the black gold blurred his vision and insight, and he gave priority to private interests over the public interests of America," bin Laden says in the portions of the tape that the Arab network Al-Jazeera did not broadcast Friday. advertisement
"The war went ahead. The death toll rose. The American economy bled, and Bush became embroiled in the swamps of Iraq that threaten his future," bin Laden said.
Accusing America of oppressing and killing Arabs, bin Laden asks: "Is defending oneself and punishing the aggressor objectionable as terrorism? If it is, then it is unavoidable for us."
Al-Jazeera, which is based in Qatar, published a transcript of the full tape on its Web site on Monday. The transcript matches the video posted on the Islamic Web site.
Analysts say bin Laden issued the tape in a bid to influence the U.S. presidential elections, which took place four days after Al-Jazeera broadcast it.
In another partial portion of the video released Monday, bin Laden vowed to bleed America to bankruptcy, boasting that for every $1 al-Qaida has spent on terrorist strikes, it has cost the United States $1 million in economic fallout and military spending, including emergency funding for Iraq and Afghanistan.
"As for the size of the economic deficit, it has reached record astronomical numbers," bin Laden said, estimating the deficit at more than $1 trillion.
Actually, the war against terror and other factors have resulted in an expected $377 billion shortfall for 2003 - the highest deficit since World War II accounting for inflation. The total U.S. national debt is near the $7.4 trillion statutory limit.
The terror mastermind credited the religiously inspired Arab volunteers that he fought with against the Soviets in Afghanistan with having "bled Russia for 10 years, until it went bankrupt and was forced to withdraw in defeat." He suggested the same strategy would work against the United States.
...."Cash as bio vectors".........
Frightening. Who, among us, never handles cash?
Arafat to be replaced by triumvirate
Militants kidnap Lebanese-American
Iran to fingerprint visitors from US
That particular modus would force us into solely electronic cash flow situation (... probable follow up cyber attack ?) There already is concern for a broad counterfeit attack and this fits that hand in glove. It would at least overload the debit/credit card system.
Thank you freeperfromnj.
