/me laughs

But Kendra said he knew about it four days before-hand. Which is it?


Why would he admit knowing about it before the attack but refuse to accept any participation?

He has never feared taking responsibility in the past, why change suddenly?

You kinda make it sound like he was involved, then.



Uhm --no --makes it sound like he was given a head's up --4 days is certainly not enough time to master-mind the events of 9-11.

there is no middle ground


Of course there is.

There are many more moving parts than what your "war for profit" analysis presents.

The current administration is as corrupt as the ones that went before and the ones that will follow.

Mr Potty Mouth is getting mad!


Yeah, a bit. Having names slung at me tends to do that. As does your deliberatly mocking tone, although I should know better.

Much like Prok, if you aim to anger, you probably will succeed, and I'll freely admit I have a temper.

There is a propensity on the forums to distill every complex concept into a nice quotable "forum-bite". This doesn't always serve the topic well.


agreed, but as my post above illustrated, how can you summarize the events of the Spanish-American War and how they relate to the current taming of the yellow ribbon soccor mom/NASCAR dads and the invocation of 9/11 and terror on anything by the current administration without getting into the nuances of the Spanish-American War besies saying "Remember the Maine!" and hoping people know some history

there is no other way to debate complex issues without going off topic

so brevity is used to make my points about public sentiment and rallying cries without over explaining indirect analogies

i must say the format is much better than trying to see what your president is doing simply by watching the news

i think they are much more corrupt

and i am not saying previous presidents were saints either

contrary to popular belief, I do not neccesarily like democrats

and Gabe, as over simplified the war for profit scenerio, is there any specific part of that general assemssment that you disagree with, or are you just saying the web is more complex with more tentacles than I have acknowledged?

Actually, having your ass jump my shit everytime I post something in that condescending, yet not supported by facts tone you take was offending me.

So rather than let you get to me, I pretended you were a kitten and I had a ball of wool

See, I can hold the ball of wool above the kittens head, and dangle it so the kitten launches up batting at the ball, trying its hardest to get the ball of wool

but when the kitten launches, I move the ball, and little kitten falls right on its little face

the kitten actually thought it could get the wool

but there I was, always holding the ball just out of reach

so keep batting kitty!

you will get that ball of wool eventually ;)

Cute ;P

By the way, what "condescending, yet not supported by facts" tone? My statement was supported by fact. Now, I admit it was not the point you were after. But my statement was supported by facts.

You might be surprised. I know you would never guess it to listen to me, but I'm bitter, cynical, have a hell of a temper, and get a bit of pleasure from argueing.

I know, it must shock you.
