"...The WMD have been hidden at secret locations by the Fedayeen and are still in Iraq. "Only when Saddam is caught will people talk about these weapons," he said."

Such a big country, and only a very small number of people would need to know their exact location. These are the weapons that scare the shit out of me. Imagine what they could do in the middle of London.

"Gordon Brown has given an upbeat assessment of the economy in a preview of this week's pre-Budget report."

I dig that the global economy is growing (though CeBit is very small this year because of "economic downturn in Europe"), and that we've been growing for some time, so I see his point, but I worry that an al-Qaeda attack could change that in the blink of an eye. Also, a house price recession is surely just around the corner, and with record breaking consumer debt and increasing, albeit slowly, interest rates...

I ain't confident Gordon, not confident at all.
