I believe we all know that when it comes to choosing between Conservative, right-wing fundamental Christian dogma and reality, facts and reason you will choose dogma. Every time. You will hang on the thinnest of threads, and defend that with vigor. Even when there is no thread, as below.

The absolute clincher for me was when you defended Bush's statement that the US doesn't torture terrorist suspects even while Cheney was lobbying for no limits on torture. That was blatant.

The "unlimited immunity" comes in here. Even though you are as unbiased as an evaluator as Limbaugh, in fact use his and others talking points directly and as they are filtered through blogs, unlike Limbaugh I still think that you are a nice guy. You would probably be a good neighbor, a fun part of a basketball or softball team, entertaining on a short plane trip. Even a longer one if the discussion didn't turn to politics, or economics.

So, as far as the nerve gas, I'll believe the US military personnel who described writing the battle plans, the pictures of Rumsfeld, that the stuff was delivered under the barest of cover, that sort of thing. The fact that Saddam was supplied with the helicopters necessary to lay it down. By the US.

As far as I'm concerned, you're a credible guy until it comes to choosing reason and reality over dogma. And I do consider you a well researched expert and trumpet on "the line", jingoism, and Conservative propaganda.
