Thread: Iraq/Dinar News Until 5/3/07 Midnight CST.

a Naysayer and a Yeasayer went to the horse races.

The Yeasayer suggested to bet $100,000 on a horse. The Naysayer was sceptical, saying that he wanted first to understand the rules, to look on horses, $100,000 that's more than you can afford to lose. The Naysayer needed to know all the published data on all the horses etc, etc, etc.

The Yeasayer whispered that he knew a secret mathematical algorithm for the success and that it had been confirmed to him by his sources, but alas he could not convince the Naysayer.

"You are too theoretical," said the Yeasayer. Time was running out, the horse race was about to begin so off he went to bet on a horse. Surely, that horse came first bringing him a lot of money. Triumphantly, he exclaimed: "I told you, I knew the secret!"

"OK, What is your secret?" the Naysayer finally asked.

"It is rather easy. I have two kids, three and five year old. I sum up their ages and I bet on number nine."

"But, three and five is eight," the Naysayer protested.

"I told you, you're too theoretical!" the Yeasayer replied, "Haven't I just shown experimentally that my calculation is correct?!"

The analyst on terrorism to the CNN Peter Bergen, that the rapid withdrawal from Iraq would damage the United States, as "Prospective Qaida and other terrorist organizations, a propaganda victory," that America is not only a "hero of the paper."

Bergen, "said that would help terrorists," also agreed to establish an independent state for themselves somewhere in the Middle East, just as they did before in Afghanistan in the 1990s. "

He pointed out that al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, the alliance with the Taliban to take control of power in Afghanistan, which allowed him to the movement after planning and executing attacks September 11, 2001, on Washington and New York.

The expert on terrorism, the need for the United States not to allow that to be repeated again in Iraq, he said : "What we must address is to prevent the establishment of the state of Iraqi Sunnis in central and western Iraq, because such a new focus for international terrorism, would constitute a direct threat to our interests."

What the terrorists do is a reference to روزنامتهم .. Identifying schedule for the withdrawal, you fix with failure, which would be irresponsible. "
