  USA-ledaren George W Bush försökte igår dämpa den upprörda stämningen i USA: "Detta är en bekymmersam tid, men USA:s folk kan lita på vår ekonomiska framtid. Vi vet vilka problemen är, vi har de verktyg som vi behöver för att fixa dem, och vi arbetar skyndsamt för att göra detta". Detta sagt av samma person som motiverade det blodiga Irakkriget med att den dåvarande irakiska regimen "hotar freden med massmördarvapen". ------------ Bloggat: Alliansfritt om piratjakt, Paolo Pissoffi om palestinafrågan i USA:s presidentval, Claes Krantz om kaos inom oppositionen, Syrran om liberal feminism, Jinge om förbön för Volvo, Radar om det "isländska undret", Motvallsbloggen vill att Mona Sahlin ska bytas ut, Björnbrum om narcissister som blir ledare, Trotten om fackliga protester mot (s), Kildén & Åsman om Wall Street, pyramidspel och Volvo.

  Dubya: Here's what the American people need to know: that the United States government is acting; we will continue to act to resolve this crisis and restore stability to our markets. We are a prosperous nation with immense resources and a wide range of tools at our disposal. We're using these tools aggressively. [...] We know what the problems are, we have the tools we need to fix them, and we're working swiftly to do so. So much (again) for letting well enough alone and letting the Free MarketTM work its ineluctable magic. But doesn't that last sentence remind you a bit of Rumsfeld's infamous "points of the compass" declaration? If you think -- let me take that, both pieces -- the area in the south and the west and the north that coalition forces control is substantial. It happens not to be the area where weapons of mass destruction were dispersed. We know where they are. They're in the area around Tikrit and Baghdad and east, west, south and north somewhat.
