		<description><![CDATA[Economist Nouriel Roubini has been an accurate forecaster of the current downturn. Last fall, when we were still riding high, he predicted (as did this blogger) a serious crash. Recently he has been making the rounds of the financial media spreading gloom.

He also states that we are &#8220;winning&#8221; in Iraq. On the military front, he&#8217;ll get no argument from most people. Petraeus [...]]]></description>
