Lazarus, re: "An American military unit larger than a platoon was never defeated by the NVA or Viet Cong in Vietnam. So where do you think the war was lost? How about the streets of Berzerkeley?"

Don't be an ignoramus. Entire Companies were overrun and wiped out in the jungles of Vietnam. LZs were overrun. Battalions lost battles and had to go back the next day and get their dead. It's only the John Wayne movie watchers who swallow that hero nonsense.

And as for the rest of your post, don't cite me to long discredited, single source, right wing repeated, October 2001, "proofs" of the fictional Salman Pak alleged terrorist training site. Cite me to carefully critiqued, time tested and reality vetted "proofs."

So I'll tell you what I told Nadine; we had that debate and you lost. Put it in the debunkered file.

And, by the way, how have YOU done in predicting how the Iraqi/American conflict would develop? You say that I'm a "genius," sarcastically, but if you compare your prognostication history with mine you'll have to conclude that, compared to you, I am a genius.

That's the one thing you and Nadine just can't get around, isn't it. I mean the undeniable fact that you've been proven so wrong, so often, not by words but by reality? Ed
