I suggest that you commit the fallacy of selectively choosing only data that fits your preconceptions


The fallacy that you commit is that you continue to think I give a shit about why we are there. My concern is that we are there regardless of the reason. My concern is also that we are there and we can not extricate ourselves from it without having a real government elected by the people. With this in mind I challenge ever attempt by anyone to paint our men and women in uniform with any hint of dishonor. You sir have a bad habit of attempting to tarnish the military in an attempt to slander Bush.

Now that you mention it, this is a real popular image in the Arab world:


I fail to see what one has to do with the other. You stated Americans are killing thousands of Iraqis and that confused me. So I said when do Americans stop to pray to Allah before blowing up their countrymen, kind of like the one did in Bagdad this morning. And did you answer the question, no because it does not suit your agenda. Sometimes you remind of the crazy man who stands on the street corner yelling about nonsense. He does not have a clue what he is saying but he sure does say it loud.

I only referenced the Lancet report, the largest independent survey, by far, conducted in Iraq since the beginning of the war. You dismissed it because you didn't like what it said.


No I dismissed it because it was not independent. That report is agenda driven. Look who sponsored it. It is kind of like asking a pot smoker to do a study on whether marijuana should be legalized. You know what the results are going to be before the study is published, all other data is dismissed. You know what I am talking about Ray, it is similar to what you accuse Bush of all the time on his intelligence gathering before the invasion. Kind of hypocritical isn't it Ray, attempting to advance your agenda by doing what you criticize another for doing.
