At first it was a great source of info and differing points of view. Then it was a great source for identifying people whose "thinkers" weren't on straight in order to avoid ever running into their opinions on anything, especially investments. Now it's just blather. I'm lucky if 1/3 of the posts get thru the ignore filter, and most of those are only the polite side of pointless arguments. ARS

Well considering the response he gave to my inquiry, I can understand why. Jacob boasted, " Any poster here who wants to, can find 100 quotes from top Administration officials, saying the threat was immanent." I asked for some examples where Bush &/or Administration officials use "Imminent threat" in context that Iraq was an "imminent threat" to the US or the region. I gave two excellent examples from Bush - SOTUA & Bush discusses Iraq Threat. Not only was it lacking any reference to an "imminent threat", Bush actually chided those who expressed a desire to wait until the threat was imminent. Jacob'e response cited Bush, Cheney, Powell quotes using, "Key words: "no doubt" "now has" "fairly soon" = imminent" "still has" "less than a year" = imminent" "Does "within one year" count as imminent?" I rest my case your honor :-o
