Actually, the source appears to be legit. Google it and this is what you get: Azzaman is a daily Iraqi newspaper published simultaneously in London, Baghdad and Beirut by Saad al Bazzaz. The article may have been written by a Reporter who can actually speak English.

I really don't know where you guys are coming from with this "Guru" stuff concerning Stryker. He doesn't do the hide behind some phony "Guru" name, if he has info that someone tells him, but they ask him not to use their name, he won't even repeat the info. The guy has a site which simply tries to break down the news articles that come out. As was stated on here earlier, he's giving his opinion. He never calls himself a guru, in fact he'll tell you in a heartbeat that he IS NOT. I've never seen him give a rate or date. I also have never seen him discuss rumors. Also, how many "Gurus" are willing to put their face behind what they say? I suppose we all have people we like, or don't like. I for one think he's a stand up guy.......and I'm not even from Texas.
