Apparently you have not seen a real attack.

Actually, I've seen more than my fair share, and launched a few as well. :-) I'm thinking maybe you don't know what constitutes an attack as you have characterized BibChr's original comment as an attack against Condi when all he did was ask a question.

Neither I nor BC knows Condi's position though he thinks he might and is willing to attack her based upon that rumor/supposition.

BC as much as admitted he didn't know Condi's position when he asked the question. You, and others, could have simply answered "I don't know" and you would have been done with it. You didn't. You are the one that went on the attack first, and he has responded in kind.

As stated earlier the proposition that Condi become president was based upon her foreign policy expertise and thus, a legitimate thing to say on a foreign policy/national security/war against terrorism thread.

And, as a possible presidential candidate, a legitimate question was asked in response to that statement. A simple "I don't know" would have sufficed for an answer, but you chose to become your own worse enemy and get the topic off of Condi's foreign relations experience into areas that evidently know one knows about. Again, I have no dog in this fight, I just found it ironic that you were the one that prolonged this "hijacking".

Where did your confusion start?

When you characterized BC's question as an attack and then claimed that your attacks on BC for even asking the question were not attacks. Pretty weak to call BC's question an attack, particularly if you are characterizing your own statements as being non-confrontational, when they are much closer to an attack than the original question.

Better now?

That oh, so innocent question was clearly an attack on Condi. It is foolish to view it otherwise and is typical of the underhanded attempt to divert this thread to one about abortion. You really believe the wording of that question was without intent? Read it again.

He knows very well that he considers Condi pro-abortion and you probably know that he believes that. If you don't then you need to investigate his other posts.

An "I don't know" would merely have provided the opening for him to tell you what he believed it to be. And it would not have been that she was was anti-abortion.

My responses were directed to him to return to the issue. Every one of them. You could consider them the same as a bttt.

Apparently no one is that interested in the actual topic though several have asked that the abortion issue be dropped from this thread.
