Zo,

re: (It was really an AP news story)

Then I'm sure they made it up. I read it when it first "broke" on the BBC site. It's a report from the International Institute for Strategic Studies, very highly respected; Rummy spoke to them recently.

DR is in drnile. When he can't confront facts, he resorts to character attacks and insults; against AP, or "liberals", or individuals... whoever. That's what the far right does. If you take away the liberal bashing there is not much left from a logic perspective. They don't care, as long as there are enough people without the time or inclination to think things through.

It's pretty effective. "Never over-estimate the intelligence of the American public" is an old advertising/marketing saying. Rush Limbaugh's popularity is a perfect example of the principle in action. Always play to the lowest common denominator because that's where you will find the largest receptive audience.
