#2 But, but Anthony holds the Saudi Super-Retirement-Fund Chair at the Middle East Wanky-wank Studies Institute! He predicted all manner of things prior to the Iraq War! He was wrong about every single one of them, but he's an expert! Hey, he used to hang with Peter Jennings, man. I used to marvel at all those grand confident statements - backed up with those nifty large-scale 3D stage maps! Peter nodded sagely when Tony spoke. Most of Amrican probably nodded right along with Peter. And promptly forgot all those soon-to-be-disproven predictions. That's the way of the Expert Business. Nuff said, I think! Tony's da Man!

#3 Cordesman has written a lot worse stuff than this. Unlike, say, John Kerry, he sounds like he WANTS to win. Maybe I'm soft on him because he's a first-rate reviewer of audio equipment.

#4 IF THE UNITED STATES is to win in Japan, it needs an honest and objective picture of what is happening on Guadacanal. The media and outside experts can provide pieces of this picture, but only the U.S. government has the resources and access to information to offer a comprehensive overview.

Lessee - did we have a comprehensive overview in 1942? But we won that one, didn't we?
