Well of course you think I am a gasbag. If I were not, but were making sensible points, then you would have to modify your position. It is, of course, always possible that it was all a matter of propaganda. But the opposition had its say, too, and, in the end, the people believed the Administration. I know, the state of their belief is not terribly well informed or well analyzed. It proves nothing. But it has an evidentiary value, just as the Clinton polls did..........

Win, i don't think you do your argument great credit with such language ..... for what it's worth ... this is not an attempt to assert authority of any kind, just an opinion .... i agree with many of your points, but think that it is only appropriate to label Neo a 'gasbag' if you include us all in that category .... and, come to think of it, that could be argued, couldn't it He just slipped in a sly slap at the Rest of Us on the planet, you know, the six point something billions who don't buy the current DC neocon line on planetary subjugation by the backroom boyz of Washington ..... yet another paraphrasing of the 'yer with us or agin us' thing .... if i had time i'd type something back at him on that, possibly turn it around and say what do you mean 'we' white man .... but i wouldn't use the term 'gasbag', probably not the term 'Rummy' either, as it's sort of offensive to gutter-resident drunks, to whom the term in lower-case has traditionally been applied around the west coast of BC .... cheers
