Oh.. and BTW... last month.. on Aug 7th...(the day before the opening of the Olympics and just before the attack on Ossetia)(when no one would be looking) The U.S. halted trading in all metals that are used in strategic military production. Can you say ... "Buildup" boys and girls? I knew ya could....

It's a step in the right direction, and surprising that it went through during this administration. It was completely irrelevant to the thread, though.
