Like I said: Loose enterpretation you've got there.
"No information" is couching legal doublespeak and you know it.

Then again, your heroes are past masters at that, so I guess you don't pick up on it as quickly as you might.
Sorry, my fault.

"Legal doublespeak" from the Bush League Justice Department now? LOL

Is this where you fall back on "it's my opinion, so THERE" again, Poly-Sci?

I don't know, you haven't called me a racist yet, it's throwing me off.

Well, I mean, when or if you offer undeniably racist sentiment, rest assured I'll call a spade a spade. Simple, really. However, you haven't yet, so you're safe and there's no grounds for calling you one.

However, you have uttered countless neocon-man talking points, and you certainly seem to align yourself with PNAC foreign policy. You insist that's merely coincidental, but .... ah well, perception is reality.

Well considering the fact that we had a cease fire agreement with Iraq in 2002 based on weapon inspections and Air patrol of 2/3 of their country, would classify them as an enemy to me. Not to mention they consistently took pot shots at our jets patrolling the sky.

What they did is border line treason to me as defined in the Constitution. But I doubt they knew that Iraq paid for the trip, knowing that and still following through with a controversal trip would have been political suicide.

at "spade a spade". Does that make you racist?

I'd like to ask you something, in all seriousness though: you think I'm all neocon...is that because you don't understand what actual conservative/libertarian thought is, or because your own beliefs are so far entrenched, or is it just a handy bit of shorthand for you to dismiss people?

I believe I explained why you've garnered that perception for yourself. None of your conveniently leading explanations are accurate. Try the fourth option: Because your post history so closely matches those who signed the PNAC.

That's not even funny. God I hate...well, hate might be strong. I really don't like Bill Kristol, the sissy little prick.

Can't I be somebody else? How about Charlton Heston's ghost or something?

Have you read my "Manchurian Candidate" article yet? I think it's quite good.

Don't make me read Ed Shultz. It hurts me.



And 'daddy bush' is another one I can't stand, btw. My favorite Bushes are the mother and Laura. Although the twins ain't too shabby...
