Posted here Thursday, June 03, 2004 at 8:27:39 PM     The Chalabi story is narrowing down to two broad stories. Smear against him, or he was working for Iran (and himself). Too early to know. Another good summary that will probably be stale by morning is http://www.csmonitor.com/2004/0603/dailyUpdate.html Keep watching the deteriorating situation in Saudi Arabia, and the impact on oil prices as a civil war emerges forced by the US demand for a crackdown of Al Queda, and they responding. And what happened to the emerging secularists in Iran? I get the feeling we are being out played. Learning chess early is good training. Can Bush play? ********

It is way too early and lots more is up in the air, and more like a Shakespeare history play than routine announcements. ********
