#1 Excellent in-line, there, Dr Steve!

We've all guessed it must suck to have a few neurons but be caught up in the BDS Kool Aid Krowd. Here we have some proof. There's more angst and prevarication than fact in this piece - demonstrating the presence of multiple, if still misfiring, neurons. There's also a big dose of MSM ego which still blinds the author to the answers, but he is beginning to realize crow pie is on the menu. His dilemma is to try to continue the BDS bravado and bullshit while, simultaneously, picking out the feathers stuck in his teeth.

Sucks to be you, fool, but welcome to reality.

#2 Good ideas are always simple and facts are always facts. Nuance is a state to which those whose ideas can not be reconciled with the facts, retreat.

#3 A ''Bushophobe?'' Haven't heard that term yet, but I like it. It's about time they should be scared of us members of the VRWC.

#4 The key question, surely, is how far the Shia and Kurd majority is moving towards the creation of a working society. Evidence on this is mixed. Journalists are able to travel so little outside the Baghdad enclave that the world depends for information chiefly on western military and diplomatic sources.

He could always read Chrenkoff. Or Rantburg.

Nice comments, Steve.

#5 Sounds a lot like ''We may get back into power, so we'd better get a proper handle on issues, instead of continously dropping them on our feet''.
