Sept 03 2013

Uneven day as market tried to guess the next twist and turn in Syria decision. A few trades worked well, one of them for 1:4, and  a few stops counterbalanced them to about flat outcome overall.

01[11:32] {&Threei}  when it was Bush, he was a military criminal per her
[11:32] {fish_49} correct
[11:33] {fish_49} China and Russia told him to lay down and lick his balls and he got offended that's why he wants  to bomb

01[15:09] {&Threei}  Secretary of State Kerry on Syria: 'We now have more evidence than needed to convict someone beyond a reasonable doubt'
[15:09] {nemo} I have .40
[15:10] {dino} i still say its odd that they can kill 100k + w/guns/bombs, but get 1k w/chemicals and here we come
[15:10] {nemo} yeah, remember Bopal
[15:10] {nemo} did we bomb Dupont
[15:10] {dino} indeed, heck we would have been bombed to nothing
[15:11] {Alexs} that's not a clean kill
[15:11] {fish_49} I am with you on that Dino..  Have they looked at the death rate this year in Chicago?  why are we not sending a missile to Chicago hoods
[15:11] {dino} i suppose if chems were used in the ghettos of chicago, obummer would do something
[15:11] {dino} as it is only guns, no matter
[15:12] {fish_49} I still say he wont do a thing  it's all blah blah  trying to save face...
[15:13] {fish_49} his plan backfired
[15:13] {fish_49} he cant come out and say he wanted to but the Republicans would not let him
[15:13] {dino} yeah, they called his bluff
[15:14] {fish_49} Cry Baby Boehner played him well and says  he supports it..  Knowing that Obama don't have the courage
[15:15] {Will49} well, Obama certainly changed the discussion from a crappy econmy in a hurry, no?
[15:16] {dino} indeed
[15:16] {Will49} bread and circus alternative
[15:17] {Will49} fish is right, Obummer has painted himself in a corner
[15:20] {dino} hope he finally gets that kissing dictators asses does no good
[15:21] {nemo} well, I think the CIA started the Civil War there
[15:21] {nemo} Frankly, I'm still wondering why they wanted Saddam out...he was the perfect counterweight to Iran
[15:21] {nemo} kept his people in line, no problems with Al Quaeda

[15:23] {dino} funny how they are now hawks
01[15:23] {&Threei}  uhhu

[15:24] {dino} so much for element of surprise. they've already moved the equipment, etc
[15:25] {Will49} and their entire air force to Iran
01[15:25] {&Threei}  reminds me my favorite mafiosi... "only amateur takes the gun out to threaten. Profession takes it out only when he intend to shoot"
