Your headline is phony, and much of what Brown says has some potential validity, except the bit that it would all be different if the UN (Security Council) had sanctioned it all. I don't think that would make a rat's ass of difference. The real point is despite all, we had to do this anyway. We had no other viable option. Sometimes all the options suck to varying degrees. One then has to pick the option with the lowest "suckness" quotient. That's life in the big city.

Your headline is phony

My headline isn't phony. It's perfectly acceptable to use whatever headline you want on a partial cut-and-paste of a much larger transcript, when using the headline tacked on by the 21-year-old FDCH transcriber, not anyone at CNN would not properly explain to the FR reader what the transcript is about.

And much of what Brown says has some potential validity...

I was unaware I was complaining about Aaron Brown.

Your headline is phony

I understoof that the headline wasn't a direct quote, but a (slightly) tongue-in-cheek summary of Dickey's Gloom n' Doom Report before I opened the thread.
