inability to convey the complexity It is easy to scream about Neocon mischief and War for Oil and favoritism towards Halliburton. It is much, much harder to convey the concept about a Vanguard of professional Islamist revolutionaries trying to grab power - and to become dictators and rulers. I find it strange, actually. International jihadists won a war against the Soviets in Afghanistan, and right now it takes over half a million of Iraqi and Coalition troops to keep them under a lid.... and STILL they get no respect. Often, Dems and the Media still sound almost as if those guys are not serious.

If I don't think you have it in you to understand it, that is also my saying I don't think I have it in me to explain it No, actually that isn't also what you were saying. You may add it now, if you think it makes your original insult more palatable, but it fools no one. To me your analysis of the President is you putting yourself down. And I doubt you have it in you to understand that. Well, me and a zillion other people-- his lack of communication skills isn't exactly an original, revolutionary observation by me. But again, insulting me is certainly easier than dealing with facts. There is nothing wrong with my brain, my comprehension, or my character. What is wrong with me is that I have more patience and tolerance than most people and it led me to think you might have something to offer behind the narcissistic style and incoherent sentence structure. I was wrong. Have a nice Thanksgiving. (Lindy, I apologize for this exchange in advance, and it is now over.)
