Whoa, Rough Cut. You added "loathsome" to "lying" and "dishonorable."

It seems you're ending almost every one of your thin arguments with name calling. Are you running out of unconvincing dodges for being happy-talk, tooth-fairy wrong, so often?

I think so. For example, your last response was so weak you didn't even respond to my calling you out on your last instance of glibly wading into silly land.

Let me remind you...

Me: "To that you've now added more silly erroneous statements, including your statement characterizing the Iraqi election as an "overwhelming vote for a representative government by the Iraqi people.."

That's just about as wrong as wrong can get.

The Iraqis absolutely did not vote for "a representative form of government." That, you ought to realize, was not one the choices on the ballot. They were allowed to choose from various slates of candidates. The choices were decided on Sectarian lines and any sect that failed to vote, (as many Sunnis did) found that "not voting" had a high cost. The US largely dictated the when, how and who of that election and the Iraqi "voters" faced no choices on who was on the slate of candidates they were allowed to choose from."

You ....Nada, nothing, zip, zero...?

??"overwhelming vote for a representative government by the Iraqi people.."??

If the suffering that's emanated from our invasion and occupation of Iraq weren't so enormous I'd think that totally inept misstatement was funny. Ed
