YOU are the one not making sense!
What willful misinterpretation!
One last time, if your worst enemy and his associates told you the neighborhood bully was bad-mouthing you and yours, and you should punch him in the nose, would you do it?
If the NYT and all the papers that quoted them verbatim as they are “the paper of record” repeated something bad the losing side in a conflict said about the winning side, and we should crush them, would you?
Would that change if we added intel reports from countries that hate us and want us to fall piled on?
Would you care about what actually happened or the consequences if they duped a few other countries who are less hostile to us into repeating the lies and also urged us to start a military conflict with a nuclear armed opponent?
At what point is the severity of the charges more important than the actual truth in your mind?
The NYT has lied us into more than one unjustified war, and kept us from putting out more than one conflagration while it was still small.
