I read somewhere that the US was sending X number of weapons to Israel, which of course is pissing off Iran and Syria. Keep those missiles and arsenal coming... I guess the US has to try to make money where it can.

WHO NEEDS TO BE "ANTI-SEMITIC"?
In the INTERNATIONAL business WORLD it's called FRAUD,EMBEZZLEMENT,and mismanagement of AMERICAN/FOREIGN TAX-PAYERS FUNDS and it's CRIMINAL! PERIOD!

HUGE DEFAULT IN ACCOUNTING BOOKS OF LEHMANS.

http://business.timesonline.co.uk/tol/business/industry_sectors/banking_and_finance/article4922981.ece

Amazing because Lehmans rushed around liquidating European Funds and Closing European offices in the days immediately PRECEDING the bankruptcy announcement HERE.
Wonder which offshore tax-free haven all the missing millions ENDED UP IN?
I reckon they should FREEZE the total assets of crooks like Lehmans,AIG,G/S etc and open up their account books for the WHOLE world to scrutinize publically,and that freeze includes ALL CEO's GOLDEN PARACHUTES/HANDSHAKES/ENVELOPES etc etc!
Because that's OUR TAX MONEY!
And Lehmans is one of the EIGHT biggest OWNERS OF OUR FEDERAL RESERVE,along with G/S and other foreign companies.
The Federal RESERVE is NOT SUPPOSED TO HAVE CORPORATE OWNERS,(never mind ALL foreign ones)it's SUPPOSED to be A FEDERAL(NATIONAL)INSTITUTION,fully regulated and transparent,WITHOUT CORPORATE CONTROL OR TIES!!

Well! You know that story about Father Christmas they've been telling us all these years........LOL!

Wow! Not even the Swiss banks are safe!? Something is definitely wrong --I didn't know Phil Gramm was still around!! Well, I guess the rich will have to buy bigger mattresses. This economic down fall is getting more exciting to watch by the minute! Who will this Monarch leader be?? Could it be ---Satan??! haha

gardener! talking of Swiss Banks:

Not much immunity THERE either!

Yes! Especially the UBS,where Phil Gramm works,and is MAKING BILLIONS,while he waits for McCain to win,then Gramm will be in charge of the US TREASURY for our "Nation of Whiners",LOOTING OUR Nations finances MORE! lol!

I bet you the Swiss banks are happy....

Yep! I think we can SAFELY and very logically say that True Democracy,in the USA is dead!And we are now the same as Russia with it's OLIGARCHY!
And within a couple of decades China will be the SAME!

And Lehmans move 400 BILLION BUCKS before they went belly up?
I WONDER WHERE THAT WENT?

4 month old STATISTICS?
All this gets MOVED before the 'bankrupt' FALL?
I wonder if this IS THE MONEY THAT belonged to Hugo Chavez who held investments IN LEHMANS?
They saved AIG because the Chinese were involved.
So who NOW HAS THE 'LOST' 400 BILLION? Hmmmmmmm!
Funny how Cindy McCain liquidated a blind-fund she ALSO had at Lehmans just before the BELLY-UP?
Curious-er and CURIOUS-ER!
