2002: Arnold, Buffett meet with Rothschilds, other elites
Reuters, Sept. 24, 2002: WADDESDON MANOR, England (Reuters) - The world's second-richest man dropped into the English countryside with the Terminator at his side on Monday, a day after warning the UK's corporate big game his elephant gun was loaded.
Billionaire Warren Buffett and mean machine Arnold Schwarzenegger touched down by helicopter on the immaculate lawns of Waddesdon manor, a Renaissance-style chateau in the undulating hills of Buckinghamshire.
Buffett, 72, is guest of honor at a closed two-day meeting of some of the world's most powerful businessmen and financiers -- the ultimate networking opportunity.
The get-together in the ancestral home of the Rothschild banking family will discuss economic and political issues Among those invited to Waddesdon Manor were the likes of James Wolfensohn, president of the World Bank, Jorma Ollila, chief executive of Nokia and De Beers chairman Nicky Oppenheimer.
A group of photographers captured the moment when Buffett and Schwarzenegger, resplendent in steel-tipped cowboy boots, stepped onto Waddesdon's freshly cut lawn to be greeted by Lord Jacob Rothschild. . .

Makes me wonder what might've happened if McVeigh had hit the UN in NYC, instead of US in OKC. Would they have given up and relocated to Paris?

I'm with you. The World Bank and the IMF have caused far more problems than they ever solved. Any country that deals with them has a death wish.
Or is it that the entities and the heads of state simply split up the money and let the country go to hell?

In some cases. US$11 billion was funneled to Russia via the IMF. Marc Rich ran it through his macic machine and it came back thru Zurich. How much of that paid for Chelsa's stay at Stanford?
How much does algore have stashed away?
Argentina? can't say.

Well, then quit belittling those who have serious issues with Arnold and instead demand Arnold to adapt more conservative positions if you think he should be elected. If the right says nothing, Arnold won't pay attention to them - it's that simple, and since there isn't a primary in this election, the first 3-4 weeks will have to suffice as the time to air differences.

I'm not saying much of anything else for the interim now, anyway, except to make a wild prediction that the way things are going, Bustamove's gonna win this one with barely 1/3 the vote. McC will get around 10, and Scharzzenegger will end up with about 30.
Whatever one thinks of the CA Republican Party, it's had it as a political force after this snap election. They are proving that they will never unite, even in the face of the most inept administration in CA history. An amazing feat, considering Davis followed two Republican administrations.
Out of the Governor's office for 5 years and they'll be lucky to keep a few assembly seats from instate. A record of self-destruction unmatched by even the Whigs.

The World Bank and the International Monetary Fund informed the U.S. Treasury Department that they were pulling their staff out of Iraq.No guts, no glory.
Wussy bureaucrats.
