G'day redabyss

the US Congress will be passing legislation that will give Powell full control over funds for post war reconstruction in Iraq. This is a strong message to Rumsfeld - no more! (Rumsfelds team was keen on rolling on to the next country on the hit list.)

Its feasible that the markets will respond positively after such a long time looking down.
