I assume it is being covered world-wide (and I wonder what it will do for Tony Blair next week), but the CIA report came out today saying

  - No evidence of WMD were found in Iraq

after EXTENSIVE search.


That's not what it said - it said that some of these things were as yet unresolved. Here are some comments from the person in charge of the committee who put out that report...

Yeah, unresolved. (You read what you want to read Daniel).

1 - "We've looked and to date we've found nothing to say Yea or Nay".
2 - "Got tricky out there because of security, so we called it quits".
3 - "Not to worry, we'll get back in there when the security is tightened up and then we'll do some more looking. Somewhere, somehow in the future, we'll be able to say to you, 'There you go ! We told you the *** had WMDs', ".

Question - How long is the WORLD supposed to wait for that verification - perhaps until the Texans see that the Saudi oilfields have dried up ?

Not to worry, we have the second largest reserve up here, after the Saudis, in the Athabasca Tar sands, way, way north of Edmonton, and the Tar sands are the size of Florida.

New problem though. Projections for 2006 - Total World Oil production 82.6 Billion barrels per annum. Total World consumption for same year - 82.6 Billion barrels per annum. Largest consumers USA = 24%, second China = 12%; within five years China will want 24%.

Haven't seen it reported yet, but there have to be some Canucks taking up 'Chinese as a Second Language'. The PRC are already aggressively negotiating with us on two contracts, shipping the stuff from the north, down below Edmonton and then piped across to the western coast, where it can be loaded into Chinese junks !
