Fact: Bush Had 2 Times More Coalition Partners in Iraq Than Obama Has in Libya

To which you assumed I was replying to you specifically.

Indirectly I was - but rather as a general comment about this disingenuous debate.

From what I've seen - its merely about trying to score points against people seen as Obama supporters for disagreements with the previous administration. After all, that's how this chain of threads started, isn't it.

In case you haven't noticed Fish, this thread is called: Fact: Bush Had 2 Times More Coalition Partners in Iraq Than Obama Has in Libya

In this thread we are discussing the relationship between the international support for Iraq and Libya. If you want to discuss the actions in other countries there are multiple threads on that subject.

And yet you still haven't explained your comment about ""The doubletalk and historical revisionism over this topic is amazing. I'm surprised we haven't had a version of the story where President Bush personally flew a fighter plane into combat, like Independence Day". I know you never will since you can't. It was just a snarky remark just like you are famous for, its sole purpose was to belittle and denigrate people with a different view from yours. It had nothing to do with the current conversation. Your refusal to explain yourself is an admittion that it didn't have any relevance to the discussion at hand. If I am wrong then please tell me what it had to do with my conversation with Dog.

Or that you can't comprehend what I said (or simply refuse to).

I already did. I also remember saying that I wasn't going to repeat myself.

No you didn't. Not even close. All you have done is dance. Please explain the comment "The doubletalk and historical revisionism over this topic is amazing. I'm surprised we haven't had a version of the story where President Bush personally flew a fighter plane into combat, like Independence Day".

Already did Gary. You have two choices really - go back and re-read or just accept that you just don't understand.

No you didn't Duncan. You just prattled on about how I am leaving out other coutries that we engaged in. I want you to explain how this comment,

"The doubletalk and historical revisionism over this topic is amazing. I'm surprised we haven't had a version of the story where President Bush personally flew a fighter plane into combat, like Independence Day".

had anything to do with my answer to Dog.

I can and will keep this up as long as you either don't explain the comment or continue to deflect and dance. You will get the same question each and every time.

Gary, it had nothing to do with your answer to Dog. It had everything to do with your sudden fixation over the subject of these airstrikes against Libya and trying to identify some hypocrisy between people who were against Bush (and the war) and who are in your view Pro-Obama and for the airstrikes. You are trying to pretend that the arguments are interchangeable) so that you can turn it into a partisan point scoring exercise - which is historically exactly what you were known for doing on here.

Thank you Fish. That is all I wanted to hear. This thread can now die.

If that's all you wanted to hear Gary - you could have chosen to hear it several posts ago.
