...news about foreclosure rates is also a challenge to bank earnings and balance sheets. If the government could have kept hundreds of thousand of mortgage holders in their houses, banks would keep at least some of the income for the properties. Those same banks now face large write-offs on their home loan portfolios which may make the recovery of the financial services industry even more difficult than it already...

...border, and Iran alone must determine the area of operations. Saddam lost his country and his life because he chose to resist the U.S. within Iraq's borders. Iran will respond to an Israeli attack by attacking the U.S. and its allies in Iraq, Afghanistan, Lebanon, Gaza, the West Bank and the Persian Gulf countries.
