Mike,
The Israel stuff is 100% true (and I didn't even get the part about Dr Ruth being a sniper
). No retractions there.
I would LOVE to be wrong about there being no WMD in Iraq! We look like idiots due to really bad planning, and the fact that nothing has shown up when we were 'certain' that they were there has made things worse. It would help our credibility (and thus our ability to get problems solved) to be able to prove that they are/were there.
No retraction now, but I have no problem making one should I be wrong.
BTW, any arguments I make are not done on an emotional level at all. I don't have an ego that needs to be right, nor does my ego get bruised if I am wrong. In this case, I think I am right based on what I know of the situation, and how the players have acted in the past. There are a couple of scenarios that could have happened that would make me wrong, but I think they are unlikely because it would mean a change in MO for a number of players.
We will see...
