The American people as a whole are stupid. http://www.usatoday.com/news/washington/2003-09-06-poll-iraq_x.htm Posted 9/6/2003 8:10 AM Poll: 70% believe Saddam, 9-11 link WASHINGTON (AP) â Nearly seven in 10 Americans believe it is likely that ousted Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein was personally involved in the Sept. 11 attacks, says a poll out almost two years after the terrorists' strike against this country. Sixty-nine percent in a Washington Post poll published Saturday said they believe it is likely the Iraqi leader was personally involved in the attacks carried out by al-Qaeda. A majority of Democrats, Republicans and independents believe it's likely Saddam was involved. The belief in the connection persists even though there has been no proof of a link between the two. President Bush and members of his administration suggested a link between the two in the months before the war in Iraq. Claims of possible links have never been proven, however. ---------------------------------------------- Thursday, September 18, 2003 Bush: No Iraq link to 9/11 found President says Saddam had ties to al-Qaida, but apparently not to attacks By SCOTT SHEPARD COX NEWS SERVICE WASHINGTON -- President Bush, having repeatedly linked Saddam Hussein to the terrorist organization behind the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, said yesterday there is no evidence that the deposed Iraqi leader had a hand in those attacks, in contrast to the belief of most Americans. http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/national/140133_bushiraq18.html ------------------------------------------- Posted 9/16/2003 6:01 PM Updated 9/16/2003 11:14 PM Rumsfeld sees no link between Saddam Hussein, 9/11 WASHINGTON (AP) â Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said Tuesday he had no reason to believe that Iraq's Saddam Hussein had a hand in the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the United States. --------------------------------------------- No link between Saddam and al-Qaeda Comments (10) Monday, September 11, 2006 | 10:15 AM ET By Henry Champ It's been a long time coming: the Senate Intelligence Committee's report on what intelligence America's spy agencies were providing the White House and what the Bush administration did with it. The delay is not with the report's authors, but the Republican majority on the committee. Finally, two Republican senators, Olympia Snowe of Maine and Chuck Hagel of Nebraska, broke ranks and voted with the Democrats to release the findings. When you read the report you can understand why some wanted to suppress the information. To begin with, the report says there never was any connection established between Saddam Hussein and al-Qaeda, and that the CIA and other agencies reported that almost immediately after 9/11. Yet the Bush administration frequently used the supposed link as a reason to attack Iraq. http://www.cbc.ca/news/reportsfromabroad/champblog/2006/09/no_link_between_saddam_and_alq.html
Pick a "rough patch." Anyone you like. I'll probably be able to give you the skinny on what every major global index, credit market and currency was doing.
There have been a number of studies done on market correlations which indicate increased international correlation during periods in which the US has experienced highly volatile negative returns. While your demonstration would be impressive in its own right, it wouldn't add anything to the established knowledge base for this topic. It may have far greater value in picking up a brainy young lass at the local pub. Use it wisely & in good health.
How do you feel about the considerable segment of society whose beacon of political enlightenment is Rush Limbaugh? Geniuses, I presume. http://mediamatters.org/issues_topi...s/rush_limbaugh no, but better off than following the likes of Franken, Obama, Clinton, Gore, etc. I have listened to all, and found Limbaugh to be the more politically useful and insightful. For every stupid thing Limbaugh says, I can find even more stupidity from the left. Dragging up anecdotes is pointless.
