Captplaystation, it seems to me, that far from denigrating yourself, you should be congratulated on your lucid, insightful and accurate assessment of the situation.
What's noticeable at the moment is the usual fellow travelers and apologists such as Leo and Slim are avoiding the issues like the plague. There's the usual worthless talk of Alexander the Great (whatever thats all about), legions of orders and thousands of jobs, but an utter refusal to deal with the developing facts on the ground, as mention by capt ps and of the developing opinions of the analysts that fr are in deep financial $hit.
Was it all built on froth and spin? Looks more likely by the day.
