Your 1st time, not the quote I was referring to.
Your 2nd time, not the quote I was referring to.
Your 3rd time, THAT is the quote I’m referring to, and you posted unattributed to JBG even though he wrote it.
And of course it has nothing to do with anything I asked about.
I don’t know how much simpler it can get.
And THAT is what you chose to respond to?
Not, me asking how extending a civil war creates” oil stability?” Or any of the other questions that I asked that were about the issues?
So you refuse to answer what should be a very simple question, “What would you like to see happen in Libya?”
Really? That’s too tough? Or do you think it’s some sort of sneaky partisan trick of mine?
It’s OK. I’m starting to get it. You don’t have a policy reason, merely a partisan response. You know, there was a time when you could actually debate an issue on it’s own merits. Remember that?
Good times…
I’m sorry I wasted any time on this issue hoping you actually could make a good policy defense of it. You can't, and worse, you don't even realize it.

there is no need to waste my time explaining anything to you Mike.. when you misread something, and then make a stupid judgement call on what you've missed read, you simply don't have the character traits in you to admit you had made an error in your reading. Instead you accuse me of lying, being unbelievable, and suspicious.. you moved on from saying these things about Howie, and are now saying them about me again.
You can re-read the entire thread how it went in real time, it's clear that I had used JBG's quote on 2 other occasions, and in the 3rd, yes the one you question, I just copied it.. big deal, you misunderstood, not me.... But you threw out some insults because you misread somethin and instead of calling those insults back, you throw more in the hopes no one noticed your error.
they noticed
while it's very nice to have an opposing view to talk to and exchange ideas on policies and other topics... you're not a rational opposing view anymore than EE is a rational opposing view on religion.
You have been told by 2 entirely separate webboards, by people on the left, on the right and those who live up your ass that you have changed in the last few months into an intolerable prick... I don't know what your malfunction is, but please consider that source and fix it instead of making an ass out of yourself in two communities who only have a sliver of respect left for you.
