Real Clever. That's a truly pathetic analysis. Do you even know why
that quotations is there? I doubt it. No, you just see it as some kind
of literal statement to be ridiculed (and misinterpreted) as  a lame
argument.

That is probably because some of the most pro-American speakers (namely
yourself and Mr Gunn) insistently twist and corrupt selected elements of my
posts while quite often ignoring the overall point, in order to find some  way
to make  me  look like  something I am not (and often insult me in the
process).
I can understand  your anger, though your twisted selective logic confounds me.

And by the way, what sound facts and reasoning do you call on to refer to me
as 'Spectro-bin-Laden'.  Swallow your own medicine or don't bother me...
