Has nothing to do with anything I'm saying.

I think it has everything with what you're saying, you just don't want to admit it.

What, lay my credentials out on the table so somebody can accuse me of being condescending, due to my "superior" knowledge? No way.

You're the one who said I was defending the administration.

I can think of no other reason for the positions you took in this thread. :shrug:

Me, I was just pointing out the article in question is questionable and the wording can be taken differently if you take into account that it's a Pentagon document, written in Pentagon-speak.

We should really start addressing the article and original post and stop going off on these crusades based on mis-perceptions and mis-conceptions of our fellow posters.

And most agreed that it was a nice homily, but not really important vis a vis the bigger picture given what the adminstration told the American people before the war regarding Hussein and AQ. Right? No, you kept on with it, wanting to argue over the definition of "operation," you dug in your heels. Again, I can only conclude to make the administration seem somehow smarter or more honest than it was.

And not once did you agree with ANYBODY about how the administration might have intentionally misled the public--no, we get into a meaningless discussion surrounding the defintion of "operation." Terrible.
