``“The speed of the whole thing in Libya has surprised most of the specialists because Colonel Qaddafi established a very special repressive system of his own,†Amin Saikal, director of the Centre for Arab and Islamic Studies at Australian National University, said in an interview on Bloomberg Television. “Probably the casualties will be extremely high and therefore Qaddafi will be left with very little credibility to really go on and govern the country for much longer.â€''

I am laughing AND crying at anyone thinking there are 'specialists' in any part of this government...............ANY PART.... with all the vast intelligence experience that Panetta had (NONE) BEFORE he was made the head of the CIA and they call that a specialist..... so sad and yes 'there is a difference'. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: Permalinkachtung at 23:32 2011-02-21 said:
You would have thought, that after Bush broke all trust within the CIA, that Obama would have chosen a stronger, more qualified leader of that organization. PermalinkStephenF at 01:55 2011-02-22 said:

Your point is what? That Bush had nothing to do with the decimation of morale in the CIA? Or, How dare anyone look behind the proverbial "curtain"?

A well-founded argument needs excessive emoticons to make a point about as much as the Mona Lisa needs lipstick and eyeshadow to be considered good art. But I don't care one way or another. Make a point or use emoticons - doesn't matter to me.

I give Catherine credit for actually having and defending an opinion. I really should not argue her use of emoticons. Poor judgement on my behalf. I debased my argument by falling into an ad hominem attack, on the fundamental use of emoticons. I considered her use of such form to be in bad taste, because to me, it seemed that she was reveling in the misfortune of the unemployed, when she was just celebrating the fact that because the unemployment numbers were changed, that such an instance proved her point relevant.
