So Gondring, care to explain to us why it is a self styled arch Conservative like yourself habitually uses Leftist blogger slang?
I hadn't realized there was any habit involved, but in this case, the term quite clearly was relevant to the discussion...and was obviously illustrative of the problem the Administration has in convincing people to trust their assessments. Crying Wolfowitz too often means that even if the estimates are correct now, it will be difficuilt to convince anyone.
And I don't recall ever characterizing myself as an "arch Conservative," even when I was far more active in politics. I am going to have to call BS on that one, and ask: care to explain why you use hyperbole and untruths? Dishonesty doesn't really seem to be a conservative value, in my book, but then again, putting the world before the US doesn't either.
