Actually, I think the conversation with Ed began here with this article I posted. One can easily see who the rude poster was. I'll let you count how many times Ed called me nasty names while making his points. Feel free to follow the conversational links.

However, to completely refute your comprehension difficulties. No, it was an academic exercise I was answering, not directly intended toward Ed. But I can see how someone who wanted to read it that way, could.

Are you disputing the concept that someone can be a war hero at one point in their life and a traitor in another? I thought the Benedict Arnold references was a good one. It seems to me you're a bit sensitive in this area Win. Could it possibly be, because you have a fairly large level of guilt associated with the way in which you denigrate American foreign policy during a time of war?

please note the spelling of traiter. Yes calling ed a traitor is out of bounds. Ed is a patriot as is john kerry, max cleland, john mccain, and murtha who have all been slimed by bush operatives without justification. But it doesnt change the fact that some on this thread who are opposed to the war are traitors with an o or they certainly are doing their best to make it appear so. They must have given saddam the idea that in order to protect himself he should give the distinct impression he had wmds.
