I see. I caught you asleep at the wheel so you start harping on dates rather than content. Pathetic.
Then you end with the 'Bush bashing" cliche. I voted for Bush, twice. I support him in this war. But there are a number of things he should have done and didn't do, and that is the core of my complaint with this incident. I know it disturbs you, but Bush isn't infallible.
Further, I am acutely aware of the uprisings in Iran and the Iranain agents we've been whacking in Iraq. You don't hold a monopoly on this information. You may fancy yourself "Captain Iraq Information" but you clearly have a reading comprehension problem. So far you've demonstrated a serious lack of clarity and coherence.
The bottom line here is that you are a dedicated Bush Bandwagon trumpet player. Anyone who criticizes him is to be targeted by you, rational or otherwise.
It's too bad, really. We probably agree on a great many things, but you let your juvenile attitude get in the way of civilized discourse.
This was your post. We have responded, in kind, and one up. The take down of the IRC plane was tit for tat USA style. The only ones who haven't responded YET are the Brits. I gave you the benefit of the doubt by assuming you were not talking about a 6 month old incident, but nope, you're openly admitting your discussing old news when the news of the day is the British hostages, but what the hey.
