All those points you raised are the truth.
Personally, I don't discuss such critical issues of national security with members incapable of rational discussion like the member you are repsponding to. My suggestion is to totally ignore well known irrational members. The level and quality of debate and discussion here is at a much higher level when we don't argue with irrational members.
The number of people who read our threads and "lurk" dwarfs the number of members who post responses. Just post good commentary about critical issues, like you do, and let the level of posts remain high. Dropping down to debate irrational members does not keep the level of debate high.
We have a trashing of our national sovereignty by both Bush and both parties of Congress. There are only two or three members of Congress who act like they represent the USA. All patriots need to express severe outrage over the destruction of our national sovereignty by ALL officials of the US government, including Bush.
BTTT!
