Quote:Yes, necessarily. You used the snow on the roof as an example of a moot point, which I agree; it’s moot. Now you’re trying to tell me that it’s not moot. So which is it? If you agree with your own argument then it must necessarily be the case that that you agree with me, when I agree with you? Unless somewhere you’re not telling me the whole story or you don't agree with yourself, in which case what the hells your point?

Quote:Whaaa....? It has nothing to do with the Iraqi's disposition to al Qaida and everything to do with OUR popular disposition to them. Ya never heard of trying to influence another nation with news stories?
Why? It’s basically just another moot point. I’m sure that there are many people in the Iraqi government sweating over whether the US will abandon them as, unfortunately, the US has done before to other allies when faced with the politics of a protracted war, but how does this determine the Iraqi governments disposition towards Al Qaeda?
Apparently not.
You ARE a babe in the woods!
And may I say... moot.

Quote:Except that the news in question didn’t come from us. It came from Iraq. So yes, it has everything to do with Iraq’s disposition towards Al Qaeda.

Quote:Here’s another moot point. Every time you think you’ve figured something out (think-generally being the operative word), you throw in an insult as a manipulative stunt to attempt to capitalize on your on your own perception of yourself. Why is that? Is your self-esteem really that low or do you actually think it wins you points in the debate?

Finn- Let me spell it out for you: Two suicide bombings representing a sharp increase in Iraqi violence. May be al Qaida, may be factional. A government looking at most likely Democratic President in a year. The "Oh shit" feeling that they get when combining the two concepts.
Americans by now are used to hearing about suicide bombings; it's become old-hat. All most people want to do is forget about it. So.... how can the Iraqi government goose up American public response?
Well (thinks the Iraq government) let's say it's al Qaida. Suicide bombings are their MO, and they're the universal bogeyman. At least that takes the blame off of our internal instability. Well, maybe say the suicide bombers used puppies? Or children? OR... the mentally disabled? But no- not the sexually dangerous male mentally disabled. No, not sympathetic enough. Let's say... female mentally disabled! Yeah, THAT should get Americans all gung-ho again! Maybe we can preserve our kickbacks for a while longer!
Again, not saying that that DID happen, but it might have.
