Gotcha.

So you're relying on others to think for you this election cycle? I'm glad you admitted it....must be tough though, or easy?

Haha I will rely on other that know more in a field than I do. Do you know the dynamic situation in Iraq???

I did not think so. Are qualified to answer certain questions? Nope.

The only thing you show is that you think you know the answer or best choice for everything.

BTW how many things have you learned with out the help of others?

Speaking of surge.... and how a 'gazillion' wrongs from our Gov't makes everything right... anybody check out 'Generation Kill' (screen adaptation of Evan Wright's book) on HBO yet? Pri-tee good stuff. According to the Marines, it's Arabs don't have enough poo-tang out there, which is why it got all out of hand and angry. Sadly, I find this more plausible than WMDs and hatret of our quality of life...

Waaaay too much credit. I don't think his rhetoric would qualify as 'sheeple' material.

I can't tell you what I know about Iraq.
I haven't learned a single thing without influence.
There are many questions I am qualified to answer.
I don't know the best answers to everything, but I have an excellent process for delineating the best set of terms from a bad set of choices.
I listen to those who I feel know more about a particular field than I, but, I rely upon myself.

This coming from someone who posted a regurgitated loony blogger beef with Katie's interview edit?

So did Senator McCain get his facts wrong on the surge? It's clear from the commentary and the Military site that he is very confused compared to the facts posted.

All the sources that I have heard including that link by sanrene said that it (the awakening) was not sustainable by its self. So would you like to enlighten me as to why you think I do not have my own thought process?

It is not a good idea to call one out and then repeat that mistake in the same thread at least.
