"If you don't like Pelosi's views tell her, not me. The topic I posted on was not referenced to what Nancy Polosi said and therefor your introduction of her quote in response to my post would have suggested, to most people, that YOU felt her message was somehow responsive to what I posted. Now, however, you disavow the substance of her post and request that I "tell her," not you, that the views are naive. That's too funny. Here's how it works. When you, without discussion, decide to introduce the view of someone else in response to a statement of another, the inference is that YOU think those views are responsive and that you are adopting the reasoning of the person you've quoted. If you are just suffering from some kind of uncontrollable posting complex and randomly post the statements of others without willful thought, please say so and I'll assume that there is no connection between your own views and those of those you quote on this thread. Ed PS, It's silly to say that "The only prediction [you] can make is, whatever is accomplished in Iraq by the end of this year will be seen as glorious by the repubs and dismal by the dems. I assume you mean by "accomplished" you mean positive accomplishments although you never said. (There have been lots of negative accomplishments, haven't there?) But, even so, what makes you think that positive accomplishment's in Iraq would be seen as "dismal" by "the dems?" I'm sure that the majority of democrats would be delighted to see positive accomplishments in Iraq. What you're seeing to make you believe the opposite is a long string of Bush asserted "positive accomplishments" that have been denigrated by the Democrats and independent thinkers as BS. And guess what, they've been right every time. So, unless the unlikely event occurs that we actually see meaningful positive accomplishments in Iraq, you won't actually know whether the "dems" will see that as dismal or, alternatively, as the welcomed beginning of the end of a long national nightmare, will you?
