Re: "The spin is that when JF said the Clinton/China stuff was not true (called me a liar I beleive) you did not correct him and add your story. You compared one event with another one and you let his false belief continue. It is a favorite dem strategy, and you employed it well. It's a compliment. <g>"

>>> I hadn't read every post. That explains why I didn't 'correct' anyone....

>>> I was only responding to the 'treasonous' allegation you made... by pointing out with examples from the '80s (selling stingers to Iran, giving classified sat. intel to Saddam, taking Saddam off the terrorist list so we could sell chemical weapon precursors to him... and the helicopters with which he dispensed poison gas, etc.) that what's good for the goose should be good for the gander.

>>> If we call all of our Presidents 'treasonous' by virtue of them taking actions which are not in America's best interests... well then the very word 'treason' would seem to lose some punch, as so many administrations have done questionable acts, many times in the dark, and often for reasons not fully explained to the public.

>>> As I've said, I hadn't read all the previous posts - but since you ask it - I've gone back and read JF's post now... and he seemed to be asking you a question, and raising an allegation, without specifically calling you a 'liar' as you claimed. Here's his posted question:

"What missile technology was sold? Would this be a lie on your part?"

>>> Have you answered it? (I'm not aware of the information myself regarding evidence of government crimes... though I do seem to recall a scandal - and subsequent government punishment - of an aerospace company subsidiary for lying to the government and exporting restricted technology in violation of law.)
