Poohbah,

You are being as nice as you can? You are out of control man!

Your ad hominem remarks are ridiculous! Your 8 years in the corps doesn't make you an expert on geopolitical events or strategy. Last I checked Scott Ritter served in the corps and has been mostly destroyed in this venue. Myself, I have time in the Corps as well--- but eight, twelve, sixteen, or twenty doesn't necessarily make me an expert either.

You are a NWO conspiracist and your agenda was EXPOSED by nyquist through email correspondence. Somehow you think your creative game has merit over someone who has lived through communism?

Wake up man! Your service has PAST into history and now you are something completely different.

It is clear you won't discuss the merits of anything even slightly associated with the Nyquist thesis. You are lost to prejudice!~

And you whine about "ad hominem" attacks?

I sent Nyquist a polite email pointing out a significant flaw in his scenario. The flaw was that in order for the Russian to succeed, the US military would have to disregard its extant doctrine and procedures without any discernable reason for doing so. This was in an area of operations that would not be influenced by the national command authority--the events in question would be over, one way or the other, before the NCA was even aware of what was going on. I quoted relevant portions of US military doctrine and also gave references to Congressional testimony and scholarly works on the topic.

I cannot reprint Mr. Nyquist's response in a family forum.

and your agenda was EXPOSED by nyquist through email correspondence.

My agenda has been, and will remain, to provide my honest opinion, backed by fact. Nyquist didn't like the facts that I raised.

Somehow you think your creative game has merit over someone who has lived through communism?

Communist governments lied to their citizens--and to themselves--as a matter of course. I'm supposed to suddenly accept what one government told its citizenry as gospel truth?
