I understand connecting the dots was a game you never excelled in.

It's much easier to simply say Bush is da debil and move on.


Your silly final comment had the exact same amount of logic behind it as your comment

Suicide...right.


Seriously. Do you have ANYTHING to base it on? You're trying to spin a huge web of conspiracy with NOTHING as proof. Nada. Zip. Forget connecting the dots. You're pointing at nothing and claiming there are dots there.

Show the dots. Show the connections. Then connect the dots with some proof.

That's a hell of a lot different from what you originally claimed. As I said, you're running around moving the goalposts. You don't want reporting on what's going on, you want opinion pieces supporting your own viewpoints.

Why did the article need to state that attacks have been down compared with previous years before adding that violence has been up the last month?
Because it shows a reversal of the trend.

I addressed it, but you've giving up arguing with me long ago because I'm a southerner that doesn't share your viewpoints, therefore I've been brainwashed by the elitist lefties and I'm not a real southerner. (And Joph plays along better than I do.)

This just in today: Bombings kill more than 70 in Iraq.
CNN wrote:
On Wednesday, five people in Salaheddin province were killed in a suicide bombing, and a police officer was killed in Baghdad in a hand grenade attack. Also, an American soldier died of wounds suffered while conducting a patrol in eastern Baghdad.

The violence comes as the Obama administration is working to withdraw American combat troops from the country's urban areas by June 30 and eventually remove all troops from the country by the end of 2011 in accordance with the security agreement the United States and Iraq reached last year.

However, the top U.S. commander in Iraq, Gen. Raymond Odierno, told CNN on Wednesday that the Iraqi government may decide to allow boots on the ground in some urban areas past June.
Man, Varrus just ain't never right, is he?

If you're reading that story, it's assumed that you have access to the magical information box which can asnwer all your questions.
Quote:
Is it that difficult to show the death toll from this month the previous 4yrs?
Not the point of the story. The point of the story was to report on a recent event and (much less so, hence its brief mention) set it against the recent trend. It wasn't a dissertation on casualty levels since 2003. If you want reports on casualty trends since 2003, there's plenty of places to look.

You're confusing "tough" with asinine. That kool-ade remark was really cutting though.

Jophed,

Quote:
On the day the new Congress convened this year, Sen. Dianne Feinstein introduced legislation to route $25 billion in taxpayer money to a government agency that had just awarded her husband's real estate firm a lucrative contract to sell foreclosed properties at compensation rates higher than the industry norms.


Quote:
"From everything I know about it, it is a very sweet deal and went to somebody who is less than qualified in dealing with foreclosed residential properties. Their expertise is in commercial real estate," said Cynthia Kenner, a Colorado real estate agent who specializes in selling bank-owned residential properties and last year helped sell more than 600 foreclosed properties.


Quote:
"This clearly gives the appearance of a conflict of interest," said Kent Cooper, a former federal regulator who specializes in government ethics and disclosures. "To maintain the people's trust in government, it is incumbent on a legislator to take the extra steps necessary to ensure that when she introduces any legislation that it does not cause people to question her motives or the business activities of her spouse."

I agree, then again they did mention previous years as a way to blunt the effect of having to admit violence has gone up the last month. If you're going to compare anything it should focus on the recent months attacks compared with attacks this same time period the last couple of years. Why didn't they do that?

Because it wasn't the point of the story. Oh, and did you miss:
Quote:
Odierno said there have been a couple of high-profile violent events this month, but the number of incidents hasn't gone up. He said he is pleased with security progress.

They did talk about the last few months. The fact that you skipped it or that they didn't provide a direct "past three months compared to the lasdt three months in the past 5 years" doesn't mean anything because it isn't the point of the article. And the fact that you purposely skipped over the information you asked for isn't helping much either.

Are you that stupid? What am I saying of course you are. Apparently you don't realize that winter and spring are two separate seasons. That's why you compare the spring attacks now with spring attacks from last year. Comparing attacks that occur in the spring with those that occur in the winter is the height of stupidity, unless of course you're selling an agenda.

Pssst: reread it: they specifically say this month. Not the winter. Not the fall. This month. Where are you pulling your ideas from? I'm taking mine from direct quotes in the article.

Crazy thing is, it's STILL not the point of the article.

I'd like you to show me where in that article it compares march attacks of this year to the previous 2 or 3.

It doesn't, and who cares? Are we observing fiscal year trends here? No, we're dealing with ongoing, ever-changing violence. What, pray, is the point of comparing March to March?
