Pound Sterling was $1.315. Now its 1.743. January 2005 it was 1.91.....

Nope, the op (cliff on this subject, BTW) claimed the US dollar was
down against the yen

Wrong yet again.
You just cannot help yourself, eh? Winger's Disease?
I stated nothing specifically about the Yen.

because of the policies of the Bush
administration. I'm correcting that peice of mis-information.

With your Sterling use of the English language? Learned it

The Euro
just happened to be a handy global *standard* to further illustrate his

It's one currency. The index I cited is a far wider measure
I think.

It is typical left-winger strategy to change the subject and use
additional misinformation when they're proven wrong.

You must be thinking of things called "facts", "reason",
"mathematics" and "percentages" (SEE: "Advanced Mathematics for
Wingers").
