Hi there Bobert,

A few points:

What wonderful enlightenment you subscribe to. Anyone can make any claim they like, irrespective of how ludicrous, without being bothered by that most minor of irritations - burden of proof to substantiate what they have said.

On convictions Bobert - glad to see you actually admit to being a proponent of the validity of purely "circumstantial evidence". A case based on such evidence in the UK would never hold water and would not even be brought to court. But as stated above Bobert you are no great believer in substatiation and proof.

Since leaving the Navy Bobert, one thing above all else has stood me in good stead. It was one thing that was dinned into us throughout our training and throughout our active service time as it applied to everything we did - Attention to detail.

I know that tiny, little, meaningless detail and you are complete and utter strangers Bobert, mainly because, more often than not they contradict the thrust of whatever your latest raving happens to be. You also keep referring to my microscopic view. Well Bobert that "big picture" that you are always so keen on gazing at happens to be made up from lots of microscopic views, all those tiny, little, meaningless details. You don't bother with them, so in effect you look at your "big picture" not openly and clearly in focus, you look at it through bias tinted lenses, whose transparency is further obscured through your totally unfounded belief that Bobert has got it all right and the rest of the world is all wrong.

On Bush
Thief: No proof offer purely opinion - no past form, no pending prosecution.

Liar: No proof offered only opinion - only depending upon how obtuse you want to be in understanding what was being said on the matter being addressed.

Crook: No proof offered only opinion - On Harkin Energy, he cashed in $700,000, after predicting that the Company was getting a little out of its depth. He disagreed with the decision to pursue the offshore drilling contract in the middle east and pulled out of the company. Had he left is money in the company and had waited for another 9 to 12 months he would have made double that amount. Minor details Bobert.

Cheat: No proof offered only opinion - No charge exists, or record of disciplinary action having been taken, no recorded complaints, did qualify as "combat capable" in Delta Dagger, single-seat, all-weather, super-sonic interceptor, which is what he joined to do, US tax payers money was spent to train a pilot and that is what the US tax payer got.

Half-wit: I don't agree here. He knows just what he's doing... I also believe he knows what he is doing and not doing a bad job of it at all.

International terror -
He has got the entire world focused on this. People are now more watchful than ever before. International and inter-departmental co-operation has never been better.

US Economy -
NYSE September 2001 7,700 something points, yesterday it briefly bounced through the 10,000 barrier to fall back marginally to just under the 10,000 mark. That is an increase of roughly 23%. Growth figures for the US Economy 8.4% - that is four times the rate of Europe and the far east. US interst rates at the lowest level they have ever been and likely to remain so for some time to come. Exchange rate at present means that US consumers will find foreign imports more expensive than domestically produced goods.

Bobert you obviously have some very dearly held and sincere beliefs. Only in posting about them do you diminish them with irrational, illogical, poorly researched "Magpie-Chatter"
