		<description>Alexander the great left afghanistan cause he could&#039;nt
do anything except killing&#039;em all. 
You can&#039;t win afghanistan but you can isolate it, nobody in, nobody out.
In Afghanistan Opium is bringing foreign currencies for more than a hundred years to Drug Barons, War Lords or however you wanna call it. Where is all the money?    as far sa I can see there is no villas, ranchs, SUV&#039;s,,,in afghanistan, there is nothing.
what are they doing with all this money? answer: 
- It is stached in the caverns years after years and when it&#039;s needed they buy freedom (guns) with it.
Who would want to go play with people like that.
Never forget, - it is hard to please everyone at the same time.</description>

		<description>Well the Taliban&#039;s not welcome, because they want to reduce opium production!  And we can&#039;t have that.  No, it has a not tinker&#039;s damn to do with &quot;epicenters of ... Al Queda&quot; and more to do with heroin, private defense contracts, natural gas, oil, and all the cash that proceeds therefrom.

But the real prize, as Bill Engdahl makes in his well-researched book &quot;A Century of War&quot;, the overarching desideratum in the Middle East, is Middle East hegemony, &quot;full-spectrum dominance&quot; in the parlance of the PNAC crowd. As Kissinger said, &quot;Control energy and you control the world.&quot;

I still don&#039;t understand why the dollar and its hegemony are being thrown under the buss!  World currency?  Who knows...</description>

		<description>Dave, I think you have the right idea. However, you are doing the math wrong. Our debt and obligations are so great that it would like take a devaluation of the US Dollar to 5% to 10% of the current value of the dollar to have the desired effect. If the dollar was cut to 10% of it’s current value, the US would still have a debt of nearly 7 TRILLION dollars before you add next years big, fat honking deficit. 
And you say that everyone will partake equally? I humbly suggest that while this SHOULD BE the way it works; this will not be the way it happens. Do you really think the corrupt SOBs that govern us will not protect themselves from the loss? Do you think that they will not tell their patrons on Wall Street? When England devalued their currency in the 1500-1600’s, the aristocracy in favor with the Queen knew it was coming and acted accordingly. Their wealth increased while everyone else took a hit. When they devalue the dollar, either with a new currency like Argentina and Mexico or thru hyper inflation, the masses will take the brunt of the loss and the fat cats will be drinking Dom.
If you don’t believe me, just look at AIG, Goldman Sachs, Citibank, and BOA. You and I paid for their WILD bets. It cost them nothing. They should have been forced into bankruptcy and let the wealthy people that bought these derivatives take the loss. 
What is going to happen is akin to the Second Coming of the Messiah. No man knows the day of the coming and if your house is not in order when that day comes; you’re royally screwed.</description>

		<description>John,
Thanks for the comment.

Dave,
I hope you are wrong but I fear you are correct.  Thank you for your comment.

		<description>Greg,V.Fox on leaving office in Mexico let the cat out of the bag,when he admitted the Amero was ready to roll out to replace his and our currency,like the banana republic we now resemble,why wouldn&#039;t they call in all dollars and replace them at 60% with the Amero...everyone then partakes equally in the loss,not just IRAs and equity investments.  Selling those assets in a down market like ours propped up by only the dollars pumped in by the fed and treasury would be a disaster...taxing is more likely at an onerous rate when money is withdrawn from 401s and IRAs.

		<description>Joe, 
No offense but do you really believe these guys can protect us? Have you looked at their track records? The CIA is as incompetent as the SEC. The CIA missed the fall of the Berlin Wall and 911. Not all government employees are incompetent but enough are to make the efforts of the rest a mute point.</description>

		<description>George,

		<description>Greg, I know that many of your readers will disagree but I will tell you where the 3.5 Trillion will come from; Confiscation of bank accounts, IRAs and 401K plans over a certain threshold. Does anyone believe that the Chinese are going to buy this much in new US Treasuries? Or even half? I know, this is America and this is against the Constitution.  FDR confiscated all gold over a certain amount in 1933. He devalued the US currency by almost half; from $20 per ounce of gold to $35 per ounce.
Some will even say that they could not liquidate the stocks in these accounts as it would have an adverse impact on the market. When we get to this point, how much of a market do they think there will be? Even if they don’t sell it, they could use it as collateral to buy high interest loans.
Obama, Congress and Bush have conspired against the citizens of the USA. They have consigned us, our children and grand children to a life of hardship and indentured servitude to pay off the debt acquired so the THREE STOOGES could pay off their patrons and peeps. 
There is a new dark age coming. Let those that have ears, listen and prepare accordingly.</description>
