Uh, Don, that's what I have been trying to point out. I do not believe that anyone on the Mudcat has the information that is available to the administration. If they do, then one would have to wonder even more about the competency of our Intelligence Agencies. Anyone who feels that the general population should be privvy to the same information that the president and his closest advisors is privvy to is simply whistling Dixie (to insert a slight inference to a musical reference).

We have OPINIONS! That's all they are! We agree with the information we hear, see, or read and probably believe whatever is closest to what we personally believe. Nicole, you, Bobert, Amos, and others (including those on my side) find something on the Internet, or in a newspaper, or hear something on TV or the radio, that supports what we "think" and we glom on to it. It is FACT, because it supports our point of view.

Then there are those who consider themselves above it all. It matters not what the Administration says, what their own government's Administration or their leaders say, they KNOW better. Well, it's still opinion, in my opinion, and one person's opinion is as good as another (IMO).

Most of you believe the Bush Administrations sucks. Ok. I accept that! But there is a very small minority on the Mudcat that thinks that it doesn't. So?
