Seriously Rip, are you one of those guys who think that admitting to being wrong somehow makes you less of a man?

Talk about no credibility, lol.

i would love to but don't have the time to quote all the threads i've recently read over questioning your credability, if that's the best you can come up with, that's sad.

keep in mind i'm a new member and have gone maybe 3 pages back on various threads.

Well, you missed the portion of the article that he referenced then tried to cover your overlooking that fact with some b.s. point about quoting.

It was painfully obvious that he was pulling a section from the article he linked at the top of his post If anything, I thank him for not including the entire article. Personally, if I want to read more on an article, I'll click on it.

Look, you didn't check it out before you claimed he'd said it. That's fine. No big deal. All it takes is a "Whoops, my bad, I didn't notice that" and you're instantly on to a new topic. By not doing that, you don't exactly come across in the best light. You don't come across as some besieged crusader, nor some valiant voice of the minority. You come across as somebody who simply made a mistake. That's ok. I make em all the time.

Ayup...you sure do lack it.

I have yet to see you post ANYTHING rebutting that point of mine.

Do you not recall all of the talk before the Iraq invasion calling this an unprecedented, pre-emptive invasion? Key word being: unprecedented.
