Teribus:

GUEST,Arne Langsetmo - 23 Nov 05 - 02:50 PM, have read through your post and found that it says nothing.

Ahhh. "Brave, brave Sir Robin, bravely turned his tail and fled...."

Your misperception there ... or your dishonesty. Which is it?

Continuing on:

It would be useful if correct quotations of what key figures actually said, as opposed to what some people thought they said, or what they thought they meant.

Just a FYI, Teribus: What they said is not what you think they were saying. Quote-mining's a shady practise. Not to mention the fact that one of the most piss-poor excuses I can think of for f***ing things up badly is to say that others do it also. In fact, they have a name for this logical fallacy: "tu quoque". Or as I like to put it, the "The Democrats were as stoopid as we were" defence (ignoring that there were plenty of liberals that just didn't buy the shite the maladministration was flogging, myself included.

Whereas Clinton supported a policy of containment, post 9/11, GWB did not have that option.

A "constitutional" deficiency on Dubya's part? Or was he just too stoopid to think of anything else? The ol' "when all you've got is a hammer, everything starts looking like a nail"?

... the main difference between you and me Boab is that while you a fully prepared to sit back and witness the slaughter of innocents, ...

Nonsense. You're more than happy to have innocents slaughtered. That's what's happening over there now, and you're just tickled pink by it. So don't give us that "holier than thou" shite.

Cheers,
