I answered a specific comment, that the rebuilding of Iraq was a failure and so was the American economy. You keep trying to haul this off somewhere else. I didn't comment on the rest of the piece, and am not particularly inclined to.

But for the record, the idea that uranium from Africa (the press keeps trying to say that Bush said "Niger") was a critical fulcrum issue for deciding to go to war is a Leftist invention, not related to any actual policy.

I don't know why you had trouble with the other polls. The YouGov link was right there.

I did somehow stick the wrong USA Today link in there, and I stuck it on the end of the wrong paragraph. The actual article refers to the Gallup poll.

You can pretend all you like that the results of these polls say something other than the obvious: That despite problems, most Iraqis are positive about the future of Iraq and are glad as hell that Saddam is gone.

I never said you said that. Nobody here said you said that. Do you think you are actually going to win points by attributing insults to me that I never made? Do you think I am dumb enough to let you get away with that? Try again. Smearing Feces on yourself does not mean the other side threw them at you.

Sorry. Was wondering about how to interpret being called a "medieval defender" of someone I apparently consider my "Lord" as anything other than at least a mild insult. In any case the constant undercurrent from many posts here is that I simply don't see "the facts."
