CATO sure has some flakes but a la rouchian in the RAND! Quelle fromage! ""I would be hesitant to give too much credit to this recent briefing. It is very significant that the president, secretary of state and defense secretary have stated that this person's individual 'musings' did not reflect US policy. It is also important to point out that the Rand Corporation has also stated that this person's opinion did not represent their thinking". Ambassador to Saudi Arabia,Jordan.http://www.arabnews.com/Article.asp?ID=17658 "Investors should also feel secure in the president's firm statements that top executives of companies that violate the law will be prosecuted, tried and if convicted could go to jail." Like his pappy threatened to throw all those silverado type shysters inside,"read my lips!" "On 9/11 we will remember the solidarity of the Saudi people..." No smart assed comment.I am having some sort of seizure...
