I predicted all of this. I predicted a successful demolition of theWTC – in front of multiple witnesses. I just wasn’t sure whether it would be by large aircraft or suitcase nukes. I predicted Sadam’s invasion of Kuwait two years before it happened, also in front of multiple witnesses.

With all your prescient calls it is surprising that you are not working in the CIA or NSAI. Given your extremely pessimistic outlook for the future of America and the world as we know it, may I assume that making predictions of diaster is a way of life for you and that most of your predictions have never panned out. For example, did you envision that America during the Gulf War would decimate Iraq's military in short order with very few U.S. casualties? Let's be honest now!

I knew exactly what Swartzkopf would do, although I termed it and "end-around" maneuver rather than a "hail Mary". I also knew the Iraqi's had no clue what they'd roused and that they would be done in short order.

By the way, my pessimism is largely due to one of the most common elements in the universe. Hydrogen is the most common. After that is ignorance.

It has occurred to me that I could work for the government in some capacity like you mention. However, I'd be subject to all the corruption therein. No thanks, I'll stay out here and call it from the bleachers.

Did y'all hear the Israeli intelligence report that reveals that Osama Bin Laden was recruited by Saddam?

I believe I predicted that directly above. Of course, that was an easy one. Following the trail all the way back to the Clinton white house and the actions that stimulated Bin Laden's need for revenge, that's a little bit longer chain of events.
