Re 911, and Afghanistan, don’t miss Joint Chiefs Chairman Adm. Mullen speaking frankly to congress yesterday. Another 911 war, the one on the American economy, is today fighting a critical battle, to keep two gigantic financial institutions, Lehman Bros and Washington Mutual, from going belly up (and to box the compass with those two giants from investing and savings, insurance and brokerage have teetering giants AIG and Merrill Lynch) and thereby giving the lie to the maybe/maybe not (depending on you and your confidence) salvation of the Fan-Fred reorganization of a few days ago.

By way of interesting (and possibly nutjob) background, here’s another war declared off a terror attack –a 2004 article by that troubling Nyquist guy, saying that Putin went to war against USA because of Beslan –or at least here in 2004 said he did.

Jeez –Johnny Mac & Miss Sarah gonna have a LOT of work to do. Send ‘em a prayer on the wings of a dove –
