“I think you, and others, missed my point. Or chose to.
I'm not saying we should disregard historical information, So let me more concrete so it isn't misunderstood.
Anyone who "reveals" what could have been revealed decades ago but WITHHOLDS it until it can not be substantiated is suspect to say the least.
And yes, I am old enough to remember the Kennedy assassination.”

“Exactly. Karl Rove always said that you have to attack your opponent’s strengths. Their weaknesses are give-mes, but if you can turn a strength into a weakness, then you can make some headway. For example: John Kerry never expected that his military commendations would become such an albatross. That was political genius of Rove (dirty and despicable, but genius). And it took the democrats by surprise. So now we have a very well spoken, smart president. AP (shill for GOP) suggests that it is a weakness. The news becomes the news and then the story.”

“A deterant? What do you call it when only one side has produced nuclear arms? That's not a deterant. It's the opposite of a deterant. In fact, it's a strong argument, from the Iranian point of view, to obtain them... as a deterant!”

“Israel did virtually nothing for years and still the rockets came and still the UN said nothing.
The best strategy (according to some science magaines) is tit-for-tat. As long as the Palestinians cooperate, you cooperate. When they try and kill you, you make them pay a higher price.
By the way, why didn't you call rockdting civilians in Sderot a war crime? Why do you expect the israelis to be more tolerant of attempts to kill them than the palestinians?”

And every poll I've seen shows the republicans losing ground everywhere but most of all among non-whites. This was really one of the most ridiculous columns I've seen in a long time.”

“We are not heading for a Republican retake. If anything, we'll see a third or fourth party break-away later to reform into the same two party system. And it will, of course, as usual, reflect the business interests vs. the people's interest. There is nothing new under the sun, just a different mashup of individual outcomes...”

“Hint: Excuse needed to perpetuate hateful, collective punishment leading to nothing but the desire for revenge. Hatfield, meet McCoy, meet nobody wins. When are some grown-ups going to show up? Oh yeah, the focus of this article. Yet some can't restrain themselves from crapping on any solution. But hey, the status quo is super-duper. Maybe someone can start World War... which number are we actually on now? Religious, National, and Personal self-importance is definitely more important that peace and prosperity. Maybe y'all can open some more illegal settlements? That's bound to contain some kind of self-fulfilling prophecy. But, hey, I am an American. We come built in with an Army who believes in the End Times and thinks y'all will be converted to Christians on Judgement Day! So we all have something to "gain" from this... very, irrefutably sane approach to our fellow man...”

“Ok, let's explain to civilians, once again, the differences between a blockade and a siege. A siege is a military blockade of a CITY or FORTRESS, with the intent being a full out assault or conquest. While a blockade can be done with or without Armed forces involvement, it can be maritime, over land or air (or all mentioned), it intends on cutting communications and trade in order to debilitate the REGION or COUNTRY being blockaded. Is that sufficient explanation?”
