BBG, can you tell me what is "fading the gap"? Also, I find it quite curious, just as the very bad employment numbers came out, the Bushers announced capture of Osma's son. Think Osama will be pulled out of the hat right before the war. They have been tracking these guys since Christmas, they've been waiting for the right moment to disclose these facts to support their agenda. (I worked for local gov't and these were the tactics used to garner public support whenever things were turning sour).MHO, GR
