So lets draw five key points on the “Zinni” boys.
First...Think tanks don’t run for free. They pay their boys out of a pot...which someone hires them to produce reports. This report was hired out. They may not want to admit such...but you don’t produce such a report for free. The boys got their cut for this episode.
Second....to arrange for the report to come on Friday...giving no time for White House comment before the weekend...was especially planned well. And having the Think-tank boys prep’ed for the Sunday talk show circuit....again not something that is easily planned. The guy who paid for the report....helped with media requirements as well.
Third....after you read this report...you come to one absolute conclusion...it was written by one person. The style and directive nature...only one person’s....not a group of eleven. The talking dogs were paid to sign the report and to briefly read it. They didn’t write a single piece of it.
Fourth....they act as though global warming is fact...which means that they really haven’t studied the subject. I doubt if a single one of them can explain the C02 cycle and what is involved. Challenge anyone of them on a interview and they will stare at you like a cat and not be able to answer a single question related to science.
Fifth and final....comparing the Zinni boys to the likes of George Washington, Stonewall Jackson, Robert E. Lee, Blackjack Pershing, and General Patton....they can’t even stand in the shadow of such leadership...so we as a nation are indebted to them...as are a number of special interest causes.
Just my two cents.
One of the things that bothers me about the Global al Warmists is the small amount of borrowed truth by which they invest themselves with so much condemnatory arrogance.
The world is still in the recovery stages from the last Ice Age, so it may be in true fact “warming”.
However, the implication that it is doing so for atmospheric reasons, and that we are in large measure responsible is the height of self-aggrandizement.
