I don't know are they? It is kind of like someone who sits behind a computer everyday of his life trying to tell a mechanic how to take out an engine. Now Maha Rushie called the Iraq Study Groups theory on Iraq stupid. Now most of the people that are on this group have served in public office and in the military for a good part of their adult lives now wouldn't one tend to think they would have alittle more sense of thought on these matters than someone who hasn't, but hey thats just me.


It really gives you a bad image. If you were to apply that logic to everything, everyone on PF would get a war, politics, and economics test when registering. If the user never had official experience on a subject, their posts are never posted. Because after all…if the person has never been there, how would they know anything, all their posts must be hogwash?

A opinion on a subject matter and knowledge of a subject matter is two different things. Now if you went to the doctor and he told you that you had cancer and Maha Rushie said thats stupid I think you have toejam which one would you believe? Or would you say Maha Rushie is pretty smart so I think I will treat the toejam first.

I don’t even listen to Rush, but if you’re going to call these people hypocrites and expect discussion/debate to be over, you’re sadly mistaken. Ignorance is not bliss.
