Hi Neocon; Re: "Here is something that shows how interesting spin can be. I will highlight the critical section: ... The highlighted paragraph reads that a majority of Iraqis have some or a lot of confidence in Paul Bremer and the CPA. However, it is phrased to emphasize that there is that the majority does not have a robust degree of confidence."

Win Smith already proved your liberal interpretation of the facts wrong in this post: #reply-19633088

So what do you have to say for yourself? Here is what you wrote:

The simple truth is that the percentage of Iraqis who have some or a lot of confidence in Paul Bremer and the CPA is only about 27%.

So you mistook 27% for a majority, LOL.

I say that this is just another example of the neocon ability to look at the world with glasses that are so deeply rose colored that they are unable to distinguish even between black and white.

You read the article, you didn't understand the statistics, so you jumped to a favorable conclusion, and then you posted it for all to see without bothering to check your facts. Just like Bush's f'ing war. You truly have no ability to understand even the simplest facts. What's odd is that your posts are not the obvious posts of an idiot. You use grammar reasonably well. Other than your inability to see even the simplest facts, your posts are logical, so what is going on here? Are you lying to us deliberately? Are you so blinded by partisanship that you are unable to see even the ground in front of you?

Explain!
