Oh, it's not a crime to be wrong; the crime is in not keeping your word.Quote:

I'm not saying they are a match. They might make enough difference though for that contradiction you refer to to come into play. It won't be as easy as Iraq. And consider that under a Republican leadership, especially this bloke, opposition gets to express itself in a way that doesn't happen under Democrat presidents, who get a free pass in war from what passes for the 'left' in US and European politics.Quote:

I love it when you talk dirty to us Americans, Burney. Yeah baby. War machine. :-DQuote:

The fella was impressing on us that combat was a deeply unpleasant business and he had been through three minutes of bleak, mortal terror before escaping .
I thought you were just being impishly mysterious, but when I came across it elsewhere today I had a look.Quote:
