Now it's real and present rather than clear and present, but, again, this is transferring the terms from some other debate into the question of war and peace. If your personal standards for supporting a war require "real and present" "direct" dangers to "American soil" then that's completely...

Bush then moved directly to the question of "imminence." This statement concludes the section of the speech where Bush addresses the threat from Iraq, and specifically goes into the WMD issue. It does include the infamous "African uranium" story - attributed to British intelligence, not...

Optional, you and I have been over this territory before, quite recently. You appear to have completely bought the revisionist line that the Administration's justification of war rested, as you put it, on an "immediate" threat posed by Iraqi WMDs. Bush's most important public statement on...

[/b] Now how am I supposed to keep up with you when you still haven't responded to my last, laborious reply to your previous rhetorical ejaculations. To refresh your recollection: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=268870#post268870 As for this latest: The...

Stephen Den Beste gave his opinion on this one a couple months ago: http://denbeste.nu/cd_log_entries/2003/04/Oilfromgarbage.shtml

Be careful trading the system you're designing. I hope you'll forgive me if I have leapt to the wrong conclusions about you personally, but you appear to have more faith than is justifiable in basic backtesting results, optimization, and the ability to re-produce test results in real trading...

Interesting contrarian argument, since by now it's virtually gospel that the East is least and West is best. On the other hand, I think that a healthy Sacramento team might have simply overwhelmed the Nets, and we already know what Scott thinks about having to face the (presumably healthy)...

Both teams stalled out for extended periods, as is their habit, but the game was still compelling, I thought. Facing annihilation seemed to spark some fire in NJ. Now it's back to thinking they have a chance. Helped to have Jefferson rejoin the living.

They started late, and I don't think either team is going to mentioned among the all-time greats, though maybe if the Spurs continue to improve over the years, people will look back at this as the start of something. Both teams play good defense, both teams have a tendency to stall on offense...

Alternative rock, though some of their stuf is apparently more technoid than the rest. Some reminds me of old Wax Trax units like My Life with the Thrill Kill Cult and Revolting Cocks, though it's generally still more "human" than MLTKC and RevCo tended to be. Their songs in conjunction with...

Isn't that typical? You finally get used to one contract, and then THEY roll it over on you. I'm just not sure I'm ready to change letters. June was such a good contract - lots of volatility, hope, the contract of Spring and weddings. But September - that's back to school, that's 9/11, all...

"Who has not science and has not art, let him religion have." --Goethe Your quotations made me think of that one. Carry on...

Well... creative site... but couldn't find the song you mentioned - or any song at all except for something called the "Adrian Sherwood Mix" that didn't immediately grab me. I've got it on right now. It's still not grabbing me. Well, it picks up a bit. Uh, still not transporting me to...

Had it on all evening, didn't notice any problems, but wasn't watching it continuously. There used to be, and may still be, what appeared to be a system-wide reset every night around the time you posted (I haven't been watching for it lately). Maybe that had something to do with it. Or...

You and everyone who opposed the war was objectively seeking to protect a tyrant. That's the f*&k who. Regardless of whom you blame for Saddam's hold on power up until oh just a little while ago (we'll get to the details), do you or do you not acknowledge that he was a tyrant? If you cannot...

I'm not as impressed as you are with the opinions of this retired State Dept. official. He has his view about what would have justified a war - an "immediate threat" in the form of a dangerous nuclear weapons program or a certain level of cooperation with AQ. He's certainly entitled to his...

And what have either of you, Magna and Madison, done in response to my post other than to attack me? You call me "pompous," you attach guilt to me by association with some nebulous group of talk radio-consuming jingoists who supposedly depend on sexual insinuations and attacks on patriotism to...

Good round-up of discussion on WMD's, with links to relevant articles: http://www.instapundit.com/archives/009954.php#009954 The Mark Steyn piece that is quoted and linked on that instapundit page is, as usual, quite entertaining, but the Robert Kagan piece is more direct, and worth c&p-in...
