What are you calling bullsh#it? Do you have facts to prove the bullsh#t is not true?

Excuse me. It's not my job to do your spadework.

When did it fall on me to provide proof that someone's wild assertions are fatuous bullsh#t? They are laughable on their face, especially given the fact that they read like the lead article from The Spotlight.

It does not. It falls on Great Satan, and on you if you believe him, to deny that:

Al Qaeda was the prime mover behind 9-11, not Saddam.

It falls on GS (and you, if necessary) to prove that Saddam has some Anthrax Magic Bullet stashed around our country and that Bush's entire enterprise is a big bluff.

You must prove that we will never attack Saddam, and not invent silly fallback positions that state that, well, Bush might sieze Kurdistan and Shia territory, but he'll never take Baghdad. GS did this in case he got proven wrong.

Great Powers do not move huge field armies and all their impedimenta halfway across the planet, then do nothing because of some secondary concern like Anthrax.

I must prove nothing. You must prove everything. It is not up to me to disprove the rantings of someone's fevered imagination.

Be Seeing You,

Chris

Its not about being proven right or wrong. Its about conjecturing about what might be going on. Trying to match reality with fact. Since neither one of us actually knows the classified truth, it can be somewhat enlightening to speculate on the what if's. Thats whats going on here. Btw- If either one of us is privy to the classified truth and we are leaking it, technically we could be capitally punished for treason.
