Maybe I should have confirmed this, but I had no problem at all with anything you said in this post with the one exception being the crack about Bush "cheerfully blowing human shields to heaven." I addressed this one point.

I wasn't quite sure what you were talking about with your response, "Can you understand the principle involved?" but I interpreted it as meaning that I was ignorant of the main points you were making in the previous post. I wasn't talking about the principles of Tillman or Clay, I was talking about your crack about Bush and our military. I said so.

You responded, "OK, you can't. And most folks will be able to." Which I also interpreted as continuing to indicate my ignorance of your main point, despite my explanation. Maybe I wasn't interpreting you right.

Maybe we're both fanning air here, and misinterpreting each other. If so, let me know, and keep the cryptic (n/t)s to a minimum, please!
