I'm afraid I have no idea what that is supposed to mean.

He was the newly-hatched, appropriately "chocolatized" Nagin-approved darling of those who can't support Thunder-thighs because of her diabolical and criminai WAR VOTE
....and now he's said this!!!!! I give him 32.875 hours to backpeddle and "clarify". It certainly is quite upsetting to the Brylcream-Boy Wonder Ambulance Chaser Guy's "Terrorism Is A Bumper Sticker" supporters...ya mean like "real" terrorism Barak-man? Holy Koranitronics Batman! Who's a committed, demented, naive useful-idiot fool supposed to support NOW????? Well...there's always the other fine bastions of the Jackass Party....solid citizen Teddy Kennedy, or the ever-charming, leadership-exuding bundle of diseased cuteness himself, the ex-Lollipop Guild entertainer Denny Kucijuicynich.

Don't be a dick.

I thought the humor was quite witty, and I am impressed w/ Jongsstraw's sense of satire. I just wanted to make sure I understood the point.

JS's reply was fine and courteous. Apparently, I was understood when I said I meant no ill will in my statement.

I repeat - don't be a dick. I'm one of the few remaining people on this board who hasn't considered calling a hit out on you. Personal attacks make me want to reconsider that, and you need all the friends you can get.

To at least clarify MY end of things, I meant that the CIA (based in Langley, VA) has inflicted more terrorism on our people than any foreign foe or combination of them has ever dreamed of.

And I have no idea what the hell he said either Starr, really I don't...

The CIA is based in Langley WV Frem suggested that attacking there was a good place to find terrorists. JS either didn't understand the reference or discounted Frem's opinion.

JS believes the American left will be horrified with Obama's willingness to take military action given their distaste of the current war in Iraq.

JS sees Obama as the new darling of the left having the "correct" minority background and lacking the perceived stigma of Hilary's previous pro war stance. The implication being that he's tarnished his image with the peace orientated activists in his party by sabre ratling. JS expects a retraction to please anti war activists.

Starrbaby.....
My response to your response was a bit snide and un-friendly, and I apologize for that.

Well, with a combination of sarcasm not passing well over through the typed word and my simpleness, I didn't catch on.

I took no offense

Thanks for the clarification. That was pretty close to what I guessed, however I wanted to make sure I was completely informed of his point.

I've said this before, but I *did* think JS was clever. I was just afraid that I would miss the whole point through the cloud of satire.

There's an important point here about how our ally Musharraf is a military dictator who led a recent coup to oust a democratic government -

And with it the suggestion that if we prop up his kind of regime instead of promoting democracy, then we are inadvertently fostering extremisim in the country.

Somebody more informed or with more time to research could make this point better than I - but let me offer a quote I heard from the former female Pakistani prime minister Murtaza Bhutto, who basically says that Musharraf and Islamic extremism need each other to survive:

"It is dictatorship that leads to the rise of extremist groups. Pakistan, Afghanistan, Turkey, Malaysia, Indonesia, etc are all countries that share a background of long periods of military or authoritarian rule. The best defense against extremism and terrorism is the promotion of freedom, human dignity, rule of law, tolerance and pluralism. The present marginalization of moderate political parties in Pakistan can cause blow-back in time. There is a political vacuum in Pakistan which is dangerous to the future."

Heads should roll.
