		<description>Don’t worry; leave it to the PLO leadership and the Palestinian Authority to save the day for Israel. The decision by the PLO/Fatah/PA decision to postpone the decision on the Goldstone report was the lifeline Israel was expecting from its partners in the Occupation in Ramallah. The Ramallah leadership and the Palestinian Oligarchs have too much vested interests in the new cellular license and the chance to make hundreds of millions of dollars out of the deal. Beside, Israel blackmailed the Ramallah leadership of Fatah to expose their cheerleading of the War on Gaza and how the Ramallah leadership was pushing Israel (as if Israel’s needs promoting to kill and murder) to finish the job in Gaza so that Fatah can return to rule the Gaza Strip. Once again the PLO leadership of Arafat, Abbas and Qurai, the Trio that negotiated Oslo prove and confirm that they are partners with the Jewish Occupation and all this talk of final status is nothing but total fraud. The PLO signed off on Palestine long time ago, when Arafat took over the organization.  I could never understand why our people simply fail to acts against this leadership.</description>

		<description>It is the economy stupid:

Dear Ramzy,

You made a very good point. I really believe that the whole Iran’s nuclear issue is a red herring, not only from Goldstone’s report but also from the economy.

While the market conditions have seemingly improved since March, we the market professionals know it is a false and emotional rally not supported by any fundamental improvements in the economy. And that both the economy and the market will take a sharp turn pretty soon. I forecast by mid to end of October. The American and European policy makers know this too. With the real unemployment rates in US and many European countries at 20%, historical record of people on the food stamps, Californian as well as other states issuing IOUs, and all the heated debates going on about the economical policies in both US and EU, they need Iran’s issue to divert their people&#039;s attention from the miserable life they are having.
I really believe that the policy makers know darn sure that a strike on Iran nuclear facilities is a fantasy, and cannot succeed in destroying Iran’s capabilities. Furthermore the risks of failure and Iran’s potential response both economically (oil) and militarily make this option off the table indeed.

Watch for what is going to happen in October.
