Arguing with you is like trying to catch minnows with a salmon net.

What flew up your pant leg? Continue that tone and you can simply â€˜talk to the handâ€™.

My stats were neither intentionally narrow nor selective. If they are so selective then it should be easy for you to find evidence to refute them. Find your own context, be my guest- spin it any way you can.

And I have no idea how you could find them misleading. For you to make accusations like those you obviously felt that your position was threatened by them. They are either true or they are not.

Afghanistanâ€™s industry was/is mainly sheep herding and farming. It is not our responsibility to bring them into the 21 century! I still contend that our actions in Afghanistan have produced a windfall of cash for that country. Why is that so hard to accept?

My position on the â€œWMD thingâ€!?

Your grasping at straws- absolutely pathetic.

If youâ€™re having a tantrum because I think your wrong then by all means show me where I'm wrong? I'm not as attached to being right as you are.
