I don't know who "we" is supposed to be. Many are willing to accept that individual Germans during WWII fought with great valor and even nobility. Among military people, German soldiers who conducted themselves according to accepted norms, or who displayed great courage or altruism, were...

I understand that a lot of Republicans, like Shelby, have it in for Tenet, but Bush isn't one of them. Being forced to sacrifice an official he trusts to this pseudo-issue, in the middle of the war on terror, might be exactly the admission of weakness, or an escalation of it, that you feel the...

You linked the cartoon because you disavow it? You were just trying to show us how tasteless and demented Bush opponents could get? You should have said something. [b] Which comments nicely demonstrate your distance from all those who consider a soldier's death in service to his country...

See how much political mileage you and allies like tatertrader get with the country's grown-ups using obscenities like that "post-war action figure... shipped in boxes daily." A fine example of why pleas for civility and claims of high responsibility come across as so phony from...

Hypocrite.

The items you have produced do not justify the charge you made. What you call the "yellowcake forgery" was not a forgery made by the US - presuming that you're referring to certain documents exposed as forgeries that are one sub-element of this story, not the whole story by any means. Bush's...

You earlier wrote: "It is my point that certain,(including the president, vice-president, sec. defense, sec. state, etc...) of the administration's statements have been made in direct conflict with officially recognized evidence to the contrary, and under the oath of office, and before the...

Very interesting interview with David Kay, head of the WMD survey effort. http://www.msnbc.com/news/939347.asp

Though I certainly agree those 10 bad predictions were not "lies." Throughout the build-up, the war, and aftermath, there has certainly been a lot of dishonesty by many of the same people who were making those predictions, as well as numerous lies and distortions passed on by the media and...

Be specific.

Nope - I'm not making a defense. I think you're whining because you can't win an argument. So you, of all ET posters, start getting hot and bothered about my calling a media figure "idiotic." I don't apologize for that. I think it's trivial, and has nothing to do with the core argument...

Who called who a "chicken hawk"? Whose idea of a reply to post was a) to misread it, then b) tack on a "yawn" in order to signify his disrespect? If you want to keep things civil, then don't open with insults. Oh, and in case you haven't noticed, Bush's opponents, here and everywhere...

I'm sure Chris Matthews will be greatly heartened when he hears you're standing up for him. The guy signed a multi-million dollar contract. It's his job to be well-informed on these subjects. When goes on and on about something, as he did last night, without even showing the slightest...

I see you're back to relying on slurs. I guess that's a good idea, considering how poor your logic and reading comprehension seem to be. I don't consider the item a critical element of the case for war, but, if it was, then the case for war is perfectly sound: Get this through your head -...

It appears you're quoting someone. Who? The logic is excellent. I also love the arguments that are coming from some of the harshest Bush critics on this subject - such as Chris Matthews, who almost always manages to express a confoundingly ill-informed and idiotic kneejerk perspective on...

5% on the ES is a pretty huge move - and a pretty big "problem" if you're leveraged. They could theoretically introduce tighter limits for price moves over very short time frames, but there's a natural reluctance to interfere with "natural" price discovery. If enough of these events occurred...

It would be a good topic for some grad student's thesis - profiting from out-of-the-envelope market events. In addition to doing the basic back-testing and analyzing price reactions, they could outline the conspiracy scenario by which a single firm would manipulate such an event, and calculate...

The conspiracy theories would be a bit more credible if someone did the math: How much buying in stocks and alternative markets would the "fat-fingered firm" have to do in order to make their devious plan pay off? How much risk would they be undertaking in the process? Where could they...

Probably they're just aiming to be a better alternative nest of crooks.
