This is where you run into problems when you try to consider what I posted as an argument.  You cannot argue against it because it is not a position. 

I presented a link to what I considered to be a fairly cogent summary of the situation between the US and Iraq because I felt that many here were not remembering, unaware of, or mis-stating complex events that happened over many years.  I did not summarize the contents of that link because to do so would have short-changed something that was already summarized.  I did, however, explain exactly where in the document to find key elements of information.

I am sorry if you felt that it was too lengthy to review.  Someone who was truly interested might have found it interesting and helpful.  Instead of leaving it at that, it appears you felt the need to embrace its contents as support of your position without even reading it.  Not so much as even a quote from it in support.  That's sad.

I wouldn't have minded so much except that you insisted on dragging me into your corner along with your assumptions.  I've not lambasted you for not addressing my argument... I've chided you for poorly supporting your own and trying to make me responsible.

OK, I looked at it. Didn't see anything that changed my mind.

What'd I miss?

Apparently your only consideration as well, given your insistence that the circumstances surrounding the UN intervention in Libya and Haliburton's invasion of Iraq are identical.

you are trying to amalgamate the reasonings as identical so you can gainsay the thing.

No, you dont have the first clue what other posters are writing, apparently. But thats fine, just continue making it up in your mind as you go along...

Though I will tell anyone with sense enough to understand, it is fun pointing out many of the various similarities and / or differences.
