China knows that dumping the dollar will hurt them too (they will get punched in the nose) but it will be a knockout to the US, so they will come out ahead. Who knows, but something to keep in mind.EconomicDisconnecthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02802078645713106743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1207581886255094115.post-51024223574479065642009-04-12T16:45:00.000-04:002009-04-12T16:45:00.000-04:00Pentagon Preps For Economic WarfareBy EAMON JAVERS...Pentagon Preps For Economic Warfare<BR/><BR/>By EAMON JAVERS | 4/9/09 4:18 AM EDT <BR/> <BR/>"And second, Bracken says, the event left him questioning one prevailing assumption about economic warfare, that the Chinese would never dump dollars on the global market to attack the US economy because it would harm their own holdings at the same time. Bracken said the Chinese have a middle option between dumping and holding US dollars – they could sell dollars in increments, ratcheting up economic uncertainty in the United States without wiping out their own savings. “There’s a graduated spectrum of options here,” Bracken said." <BR/><BR/> http://tinyurl.com/cehm9vwatchtowernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1207581886255094115.post-47606623105917812602009-04-12T15:59:00.000-04:002009-04-12T15:59:00.000-04:00US sea captain freed in swift firefightMOMBASA, Ke...US sea captain freed in swift firefight<BR/><BR/>MOMBASA, Kenya – An American ship captain was freed unharmed Sunday and three of the pirates who held him for days in a lifeboat off the Somali coast were killed in a operation by U.S. Navy Seals that was approved by President Barack Obama, officials said.<BR/><BR/>http://tinyurl.com/5vsjbd<BR/><BR/>Way to go Navy SEALs!watchtowernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1207581886255094115.post-42606095292795252042009-04-12T10:54:00.000-04:002009-04-12T10:54:00.000-04:00I just hope the new Camaro doesn't turn out to be ...I just hope the new Camaro doesn't turn out to be another "Holden" GTO.watchtowernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1207581886255094115.post-39360854960108160572009-04-12T10:49:00.000-04:002009-04-12T10:49:00.000-04:00If my feet were held to the fire and I had to pick...If my feet were held to the fire and I had to pick one muscle car that was my absolute favorite then it would have to be a first generation Camaro, especially if it was in the navy blue color with the hockey stripe.<BR/>Having said that I am anxiously awaiting the new Camaro's release, but there is one thing that bothers me after reading the early reviews and that is the relatively stiff ride that the new SS is said to have.<BR/>There are few things in life that I enjoy (to each his own) more than going around corners (I mostly did this on a sportbike) but I would be lying if I said that I enjoy having the fillings shaken out of my teeth while traveling to one of my favorite twisty roads and I am afraid that the new Camaro may lean that way just as the 4th generation did.<BR/>If you look at an 02 F body (in Z28 or T/A configuration) and compare it to an 02 Mustang GT there is not much of a comparison between grunt and handling (the F body being the hands down winner IMO) but you will notice that Ford sold a ton of the "inferior" GTs.<BR/>Why?<BR/>I believe it's because your average person doesn't like to feel every tar strip shoot up his or her spine while rolling over it.<BR/>Plus the 4th generation F body always looked too big in overall size IMO.<BR/><BR/>I did go to my local Chevy dealer and found out that the six Camaros that they have coming are all spoken for but the local Chrysler dealer still has both Challengers for sale so maybe Chevy will catch a break on the new Camaro.<BR/>Time will tell.watchtowernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1207581886255094115.post-14895306724838312032009-04-12T01:56:00.000-04:002009-04-12T01:56:00.000-04:00Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
