"Good grief, Tim...... Your & jj's opinions may be the bogus chit...ever consider that?" Maybe. Perhaps you haven't noticed though. I don't offer my POV on political issues until I've given it considerable thought & research. And I don't ram it down everyone's throat incessantly replete with one sided OP/ED - Liberal Columnist & Liberal media outlets as my main sources while ignoring all contrary POV's. I maintain that I hold a fairly moderate stance overall in what I support & believe in. It is the misperception of others that I am an extremist right winger. That should not be confused with my intolerance of those who hold power & blatantly lie & deceive the public. Please feel free to review my postings on SI that clearly supports this as fact. "Just because someone does not agree with you, does not mean they are wrong." Just because someone relies heavily upon on questionable extremist media outlets & slanted OP/ED pieces to support their POV doesn't make them right. And when someone relies mainly upon bogus & less than credible media outlets that push a one sided agenda, it tends to ask for the occasional pointed response. How many posts did Scott have today? 75? 80? 85? Isn't he busy at work too? Most of these posts were OP/ED, left wing media, from various sources. Do you honestly think he read every single one of them & considered the content, the source & the credibility of everything he posted? Are his postings fair, balanced, credible & factually supportable? Is he pushing a one sided agenda with POV's from the far left, regardless of the facts?

Here are some of Scott's personal comments from today.......... "LOL...its been explained many times...Don't believe everything you hear on FoxNews or from Administration officials" <My 2¢. Man, that is bold considering many of Scott's opinionated, slanted & less than credible articles. His extremist, left wing chit is gospel & the Bush Administration & FOX News are the only liars around!?!?!? Please read the links I posted (below) that contain unedited transcripts & factual information from FOX News proving Scott Ritter's complete lack of credibility. What other media outlets provide complete, unedited transcripts? Funny that Scott doesn't believe one of the only fair & balanced media outlets out there, yet he repeatedly uses OP/ED (opinion/Editorial), extremist & left wing media freely & extensively.> "Yup...The Military-Industrial Complex is in heaven right now with all these 'threats' after 9/11" "Yup, I've been traveling but have seen Scott Ritter show up on many cable news programs...he seems to make a lot of sense to me." "(I've read stories about how the former CIA Director - James Woolsey - already has plans about how to divide up the access to Iraq's oil after the regime change that he claims is absolutely essential)." "We love to act like a global policeman BUT many around the world view us as a bully and a hypocrit..." "Your post has no links to credible news sources to verify what you say...you're providing no new information as well...Doesn't Scott Ritter (as a former Marine and UN Weapons Inspector) have a right to speak out and provide his perspective..?? Have you actually LISTENED carefully to interviews with him..?? Do you believe everything that comes out of this Administration as they rush to justify the need for military action against Iraq..?? " <My 2¢ What a farce!!! - Ritter lacks any credibility whatsoever. And for anyone to use him as a reliable source you likely only have one unbending POV regardless of the facts - read these transcripts SCOTT!!!> Message 17989598 Message 17989550 Message 17989534 Message 17989506 "IMHO, we have LOTS of rubber stampers there in Congress...Who's asking the tough questions before the President gets complete authorization to do what he wants in Iraq...?? There are only a few voices out there (like Democratic Senator John Kerry, Republican Congressman Ron Paul, Democratic Senator Carl Levin, and Democratic Congressman Dennis Kusinich)...These folks are rare and IMHO we could use more of them." "Scott: I've been busy with a consulting project BUT I'm scheduled to move next Friday..." <My 2¢ - Where did he get the time to locate, read, digest & repeatedly post this stuff all over SI?> Hell, I don't even trust so called mainstream media to give me the straight poop anymore. Look at Scott's sources & personal commentary for goodness sakes. And I at least try to look at all sides in an issue before forming an opinion. After 80 or so one sided, adgenda laden, factually & credibility lacking postings, one would think that those with an opposing POV might want to gripe just a little bit IMVHO. So go ahead & defend Scott & insinuate I am wrong. I think the facts support what I posted earlier & the facts don't portray me as the person with an agenda, who only sees one side to the issues, who relies on opinion & less than credible media to ram his POV down other's throats. I may be wrong. I know Scott's POV isn't right for damn sure.
