Yes, Dickey, your arguments are amusingly weak. But don't put too high a number on your entertainment value. Remember, I said "fitfully amusing". Perhaps you need to make another trip to the dictionary.

But I do look for humor anywhere I can find it. It's a good approach to life--you might want to try it.



Perhaps you can take some time off from your busy schedule-- of flooding Mudcat with meaningless articles-- to actually find some evidence of follow-through by Maliki on the issues of purging the police of militias and assuring that the Sunnis get more oil income than will accrue to just the "Sunni parts" of Iraq.

If these issues seem familiar, perhaps it's because I've been hammering away at them for over a year--yet somehow you, Teribus, and the other giant intellects who comprise the Bushite cheering section of Mudcat still don't seem to understand that these issues are the crux of any Iraq settlement. No spin involved--so sorry if you don't like it. Facts can be unpleasant things to those who subscribe, as Bush supporters do, to "ignorance is bliss".

And don't bother with your pious pronouncements about how these issues are being discussed. Talk is cheap. It would be nice to see some action.

Your every posting makes it clearer that my analysis of 15 May 2007 11:23 PM is accurate.
