I just want to highlight about the comment about command control and why its been decentralized.

I believe the Ayotallah designed it this way, he knew if they took the bait and was stupid enough to kill him, this will be a war of attrition, when you split the groups in fractions who are very different, to say what happened in iraq.

You have a common enemy which is the usa and israel, even though the structure is still there, but the groups move in certain independent ways that they think can hurt the opposition in the most efficient way. which makes the situation even more dangerous if there is no over sight, and over sight can only be established if the Another supreme leader is installed, this i believe is the last thing this a Ayotallah did before he was killed.

Unify its natation, remove all differences until the problem is solved, and weaken the middle east to how they want it, for example Bahrain. Even if they don't do as much damage as they want, if the access point is shut, it will make the satellite states of the usa and israel demand to leave, its country.

Which is the greatest strategy for the war, they wont come to the negation table, they will try to remove as much presence as they can of the usa and israel in the middle east and they will make the world stand against them reason being, for the price of commodity going up, and you have checkmate.

Alasdair, you mention the VAT applied to gold and silver purchases in Shanghai - you need to read all that Eric Yeung has written about how that is applied to purchases - the listed price on the Exchange do NOT include the VAT - so arbitrage is very much applicable to their listed price versus the West.

So much trouble ahead it's not funny. Thanks for sharing it with us.
