Teribus--

Sorry you're not getting enough sleep. Believe it or not, the world won't stop if you don't answer a post at 6:23 AM. Won't your ego allow to you to sleep? You really could tend to Mudcat later.

And I'm also just crushed to hear that your ego is still so tender as to not be able to admit you're wrong about the Bush Iraq propaganda campaign--recognized by the overwhelming majority of all educated English-speakers--too bad that evidently doesn't include you.

It certainly is telling, that when asked to provide direct quotes for your completely offbase characterizations of what I've said--in every case-- you can find precisely nothing.

Actually, I must congratulate you--as far as Iraq is concerned you are virtually the perfect negative indicator--(wonder if you know what that means). But take my word for it, it's a signal achievement on your behalf.

It's certainly a fortunate thing for the world that you have limited influence, to say the least.   With your policies, Iraq would definitely be in even worse shape than it is now--an amazing feat.
