Powell is a loyal soldier to Bush; sometimes you need to read between the lines. Just keep in mind, you pinged me to this thread and I suspect its you looking for validation of your own opinion, as I am quite comfortable with mine.

I got an e-mail from a college buddy in Mosul. He is more or less protecting a tribe that Kurds, our "allies", kicked out of their homes when Saddam fell a year ago. Its such a sad mess over there, I can only reasoned people with make reasoned decisions on what to do next. However, justifying the death of your fellow countrymen with tinfoil hat conspiracy theories spun from Mssr. Chalabi is not living up to your duties at a citizen of this Republic, IMO.

Good Day All, and God Bless.

"...sometimes you need to read between the lines..."

READ BETWEEN THE LINES? So, someone came up with an exact quote, and you choose to insist it means something the person never said, because you read between the lines.

Since when is "reading between the lines" considered valid proof for anyone's point? I can "read between the lines" of any article, and state, emphatically, that in so doing, I know there are little green men walking on the Moon who are directing Earth's affairs via special mental rays. I would know this is true because I read between the lines."

Sorry, JG, this most recent argument is really one of your silliest. Ever.

I do not need validation. I wanted your opinion on the newest evidence that came to light - which you gave me. Thank you.

John, when you don't believe that any threat exists against the U.S. at all, what am I to say to you? If I recall correctly, you don't support a standing military, much less our fight with terrorists. I would offer that those who fail to recognize real threats to the U.S., and act on them (or even worse, pillory those that do!), are failing in their duties as citizens.
