Still no acknowledgement that you were WRONG about McCain's unwillingness to use diplomacy? You asserted it and provided the article that refuted it, and quietly ignored it. Go ahead and admit you were wrong. You'll feel better and thank me later.

Thats sweet Mike, but I dont think so. My original comment was this:

Quote:

I have to wonder why McCain and his supporters want [b]patience[/b] for war to work but are not willing [b]to accept the same request for diplomacy[/b]

and yours:

I have to wonder how you come to that conclusion. What has McCain said or done to suggest he would not consider diplomacy a viable instrument of foreign policy? That's absurd. Let's see you back that up.

I have to admit the way you worded your response, and what I knew I said was a bit disorienting.

I thought you were commenting on what I actually said not what you thought I said, so you got me there. Your misunderstanding also looked like something I'd say because I do think what a neocon would call diplomacy the rest of us would refer to as antagonism.. so it was kind of accurate.

I'll get back to the rest of your comment later.
