OK, we will continue. I have no problem discussing the subject, I am simply demanding firm proof. I am told it must be there but it's secret, so we can just draw our own conclusions from circumstantial evidence and THEN use that framework to study Bush's foreign policy.

As someone with training and experience in the foreign policy world, I find that to be a very faulty standard. So I don't find your conclusions compelling at all. Demanding analytical rigor is not a blinder in my book, it is a prerequisite to valid conclusions.

We can sit and around and play guess-what about all kinds of things and people. Y'all feel free to go ahead if that helps to pass the time.

But it doesn't pass my rigor test.

So have fun. I have had my say on this and will sit back to watch now.
