Hi bbm; Re: " just see no point in extensive quotes from the wasteland of dreck. Particularly in the absence of anything else in the post. It's just shoddy grandstanding, imo." You are correct here. On the other hand, when this thread sees a carefully researched article with references to the current situation from with links to authoritative sources, what's the response? Most of the time it's silence. Here's some examples: On January 27th I posted a link to the US military's analysis of the terrain and combat conditions in Iraq, zero responses: #reply-18497245 On February 20th on the subject of what kind of accuracy in machining is required for centrifuges, I posted links proving that ultracentrifuges (at 602,000 g's) are generally run completely out of balance. This was a key part of the Administration's claims that Iraq was working on a bomb. Zero responses: #reply-18548838 On March 5th I posted a link to a US military document giving estimates for the number of soldiers required to maintain order in occupied territories. Only Bill Ulrich responded: #reply-18657926 All anyone really *wants* to do here is to throw muck. It's a play pen. -- Carl P.S. For a laugh, see #reply-18556215
