I rather expected this when I posted the OP : almost no one who has responded has addressed the actual issues in the stements made by Mr Galloway, but instead those who have registered diputes did so on the basis of attacking the man rather than the words and tghe ideas behind them.

read what I wrote again, compare it with the OP, then go read what a straw man is.
once again, a year later, when you finally understand just what it is, come back and say sorry.

Hey Joo, you are an American, no? Go fight. Put your arse where you mouth is and go fight the good fight. Or perhaps you are a member of that class of Americans who is too valuable to fight, on account of the importance of their job...

And here is a nice article about the quality of American discourse these days...

Often, when you haven't a leg to stand on, you will feel tempted to make ad homonyms.

Don't.

First of all, my apologies to Bobster. I intended to make a minor comment in your thread, to clarify a small point that you and Joo were discussing -- not to provoke more of the usual, or should I say, "inevitable."

Now, I see that my tag-team snipers are back in action, mischaraterizing me and, of course, quoting each other again! For the purposes of entertaining those others besides me who have to read their "commentary" if we want to follow this thread, I'm going to rename them "Thing One and Thing Two" from The Cat in the Hat.

Here you go, you two:

"Thing One and Thing Two. Thing Two and Thing One! They can do anything, anything, anything under the sun!" (That's you two .)

But are either of you capable of doing anything other than causing random destruction or simply going after whatever I might post here in Pavlovian style?

That is, do you stand for anything or do you just intend to dazzle us with negativity and sarcasm indefinitely, and every time you hear your bells ringing? Is there any message we're supposed to be getting here other than you're angry with Bush? or that Nowhere Man seems to really resent that I have a Master's degree (thus the neverending sarcastic references to it)? Is that all that there is to you? Because there's nothing to you, then.

It's become so predictable that it's boring.

So your words are a waste of space. Not even irrelevant anymore.

Now go ahead and come on back and post something bitter and sarcastic, lob insults and mischaracterize things I've said from ten other threads that you've been keeping track of, and claim that you've proven that I'm not really a Democrat or whatever it is that your agenda is these days (did I not not already say that you were entirely predictable!?).

Have your last word. You know you can't resist it...come on! come on, Thing One and Thing Two!

Galloway is still radical and a friend of dictators.

Why should anyone follow his " analysis/ advice " when he has the record he does?

Here is a message for you and Galloway , there would have been no war if the Bathists , Khomeni followers and Bin Laden followers and similar types gave up their war. If they don't want to give up their war then the US is justified in doing anything and everything to force them to.

By the way BJWD do you oppose the war in Afghanistan?



Bobster the fact that George Tenent is not at the CIA means what about what he said while he was at the CIA?

Bush probably thought that Saddam had WMDs there were lots of reasons to think so. But the biggest one was that he would never have come up with such a reason if he though the issue would come back to haunt him.

I don't see how that confirms what Galloway has said.

Bobster I will deal with part of Galloways' speech.

[The Bobster]

I admit it. It was my own fault.

I offered Gorgeous George's three paragraphs with no commentary of my own, so why should I have expected anyone else to to look at even one of them and decide if there is anything there that can be disagreed with? Therefore, after several pages of discussion about the man who spoke (rather than the words and ideas he spoke) and, let's face it, a whole lot about the rancor we all feel toward each other ...

We've been fisking stuff the man said years ago - and fisking each other (find an internet dictionary if you haven't come across this verb so far) and I was hoping we would do better - so, I'll give it a try myself.
