I know you don't have a lot of experience writing posts longer than 5 words but let just say...using a word 5 times in a post, esp. when its used incorrectly, is a lot.

Examples where it was used incorrectly:

*Mission Accomplished canard
* the Wilson/Plame/yellowcake canards
*unilateral - go it alone canards
