Teribus--

You continue your unbroken history of reading problems.

1) Amos' contributions are relevant--look at the thread title. Yours, uh, not so much.

2) Thanks for another meaningless list. Nice to know some things never change. What was it--Dewar's whiskey?--and Teribus' drivel.


Now, exactly when will you be able to take a break from useless pillaging of the Net, and actually answer the question about "national reconciliation" in Iraq? Was it the goal of the "surge"--yes or no?

You know, sometimes it seems you may have something against answering the question. Could it be that you don't like the answer?

Nah, you're always so well informed and scrupulously fair, always unruffled, never losing your temper.

All together now---well, hardly ever!


Or is it that you for some reason don't like it pointed out that the reason Maliki stubbornly refuses to accept the Sunnis who want to be part of the armed forces and the police is that he agrees with you--that all Sunnis deserve "no consideration" since they are "the equivalent of hardcore Nazis in 1945". That set a new standard of brilliance, even for you--and your sterling record on Iraq is hard to beat. Good thing for the world that you're safely far away from the levers of power. Though as a negative indicator, you're just about perfect.

Looking forward to your next rambling, semi-coherent posting---uh, I mean, incisive analysis.
