Let's try that again, in English this time.

I'll give you a D-minus; you need to work on your punctuation. But thanks for playing...

Are you doing some sort of social studies project
Quote:It's like I said: I'm interested in how you think. As much as we like to think that we're rational, what we think is REALLY based on how we feel. Only rarely does objective knowledge change our fundamental perspective on something.
that you're not telling us about ?
So for example, I think it's easier to bomb a village from 1000 feet because there are very few thresholds to cross. All you see is a target and all you do is push a button. But beating someone to death??? Well, it's brutal and exhausting. You're right there with the victim, hearing your thuds and their groans, seeing the blood and broken flesh, looking into their eyes. You have to overcome a whole lot more... empathy and your own exhaustion... over and over again, for an extended period of time. Someone who beats a person to death... well, I'm not sure that I'd want to know that person. They've been someplace that I don't think you ever really return from. For want of a better description, I have a higher eeewwwww reaction to some kinds of killing than to others.

Quote:Do you have a point, or are you here just to look like an idiot? Joe Wilson was sent to Niger to look into the allegation that Iraq might be trying to procure yellowcake, not whether Iraq already had yellowcake. What's the problem with your understanding here? Niger. Iraq. They don't even start with the same letter!
I said it was no secret to anybody that Iraq already possessed hundreds of tons of the stuff, and in fact some 500 tons of it had been unaccounted for after the first Gulf War, when US troops had left the storage site unguarded for a prolonged period of time."
sooo, you're saying he knew about the yellow cake before he didn't know about the yellow cake?

I'm asking a very simple question, which none of you seem to be able to answer, that being: Did Joe Wilson know about the yellow cake before he didn't know about the yellow cake?
This is a very simple question. It requires the very most simple of answers.
A. yes
B. no
If A. "yes" then the guy is (according to you)
a liar.
If B. "no" then the guy is (according to you) a
complete idiot.
I'll have to say at this point it is very important that you reach down between your legs, grab your ears with both hands and pull hard until your head pops out of your a$$.

I think if you could ask a straight question you would get an answer. But as it is, you don't seem to know what question you're asking. If you can figure that out, get back here with it, OK ?

Quote:"The" yellowcake and "the" yellow cake. There were (potentially) two piles... one that had been in Iraq since whenever and was under IAEA seal. The other was potentially in Niger. WHICH ONE are you asking about? Or are you talking about both? In that case- which one first?
sooo, you're saying he knew about the yellow cake before he didn't know about the yellow cake?

It's not a valid question, because you *assume* that "he didn't know about the yellowcake". So far as I've ever heard, Joe Wilson never once said that Saddam didn't HAVE yellowcake - only that the allegations that he was trying to acquire MORE of it were false, and the reports that the various intel services were bandying about were forgeries, all of which have proven to be correct.
So, if you're asking if Joe Wilson knew that Saddam had EVER had yellowcake, the answer is... maybe? But the way you're asking it, it becomes a loaded question, one in which either answer will "prove" your point.
So let me ask you this question, in the same vein: Yes or no - ONLY yes or no - Do you still beat your wife?
