Those of us who know Mark, realize that it would be completely out of character for him to say something like that about Gen Abizaid...

But it's in character for him to repeatedly call me a nut for repeating one word out of what he said on the thread in question?
---You're reaching...bayourant had it wrong.---
I did stipulate to that. I just questioned his tactics. He came here calling bayourant a liar. He made no effort whatsoever to clear up what might have been a misunderstanding. You do see that don't you?
And I bet those who know bayourant personally would vouch that he wouldn't make things up.
So the obvious explanation is he heard something (like mudball), and as he processed it he thought the general had been called a "dirtbag", and that's what his mind remembered.
