"implied that Carter was somehow responsible for putting Stingers in the hands of the Mujs" Nonsense. Charlie Wilson did that!

"The point, of course, is that you claimed or implied that Carter was somehow responsible for putting Stingers in the hands of the Mujs. " Well, if he hadn't funded development of the Stinger, it would have been difficult for the mujahadeen to get them, now wouldn't it? I see you are backing off of your claim that there were no smart weapons at the end of Carter's term. Your narrative is evolving.

Typical winger hyperbole.....even at the level of the WSJ which has come down a couple of notches since Murdoch took over. The WSJ fails to tell its readers that Mr. Carlin while an employee of the EPA is an economist, not a weather scientist or any other kind of scientist. "Except, that is, when it comes to Mr. Carlin, a senior analyst in the EPA's National Center for Environmental Economics and a 35-year veteran of the agency. In March, the Obama EPA prepared to engage the global-warming debate in an astounding new way, by issuing an "endangerment" finding on carbon. It establishes that carbon is a pollutant, and thereby gives the EPA the authority to regulate it -- even if Congress doesn't act. Around this time, Mr. Carlin and a colleague presented a 98-page analysis arguing the agency should take another look, as the science behind man-made global warming is inconclusive at best. The analysis noted that global temperatures were on a downward trend. It pointed out problems with climate models. It highlighted new research that contradicts apocalyptic scenarios. "We believe our concerns and reservations are sufficiently." online.wsj.com
