Don't post incomplete information for wikipedia, a questionable source at best anyway. (Most universities won't allow students to cite wikipedia in research papers.)
A mere year after the UN passed its first resolution, it ordered Saddam to comply with the allies' demand that Saddam move his forces north of the 32nd parallel--tacit approval of the no-fly zones if ever there was.
-- Titus Pullo
You're a phony, pompous ass. I posted stuff from all over the map.
The no fly zone was illegal. End of story.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]well, if YOU say so
The no fly zone was illegal. End of story. --Kitt
Okay, ignore completely the link I provided. Just call people names and stomp your feet really hard.
Yeah, that's the way to prove your point.
BTW, with the exception of one Reuter's story, all your sources were questionable: biased leftwing web sites such as commondreams or wikipedia, which can be rewritten and edited by anyone with a computer.
-- Titus Pullo
You see how you don't say anything? You talk of ignoring your link but act like every link I posted is ignorable because, you claim, they are invalid because, you say, they are "questionable".
You come off with the news stories about wik being editable. We've all heard that. That's why I call you a pompous ass. You post old news and act all self important.
The wik links included quotes and excerpts that are extremely unlikely to have been "edited". The Common Dreams link that you also tossed into the editable pile was actually the Reuters story that you contradictorily claimed was possibly legit.
I didn't just "stomp my feet" to "prove my point". I posted solid evidence, and you acted like the pompous ass that you are and null and voided everything I posted based on your pompous ass attitude that anything left of Little Green Footballs is questionable information.
What are you doing here anyway? You make an ass of yourself every time you come on here, dragging the distinguished name of Titus Pullo through the mud by associating it with the derelict likes of you.

Have you read what Josh Marshall noted about how the military is going about discrediting Beauchamp?
Maybe Beauchamp was always a teller of tales. He wouldn't be the first nor even the first to have wormed his way into the pages of The New Republic. But it's hard not to have some suspicion that the Army has put itself in charge of investigating charges which, if true, would be deeply embarrassing to the Army; that it has provided itself a full exoneration through an investigation, the details of which it will not divulge; and it has chosen to use as its exclusive conduit for disseminating information about the case, The Weekly Standard, a publication which can at best be described as a charged partisan in the public controversy about the case.
This hardly inspires much confidence.

But Daniel Pipes is a scholar, and an important one. The fact that he sees the world in a different way than you do does not make him less of a scholar.
[my emphasis]
It's really not that hard to understand.
--Anonymous
Gosh, you're kind of taken with that word, 'scholar' eh, Anon? Makes you feel all flushed, does it?

When the subject is scholars, it's not surprising to use the word "scholar" twice in three sentences.
I am in thrall to your acumen.
--Anonymous
I see. You're keeping a running tab of these types of circumstances when the subject of "scholars" comes up?
Oh, and don't be remiss. It's "Important scholar!" Not just any ol' run-of-the-mill scholar.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]So, I guess by these standards, I must be a non-intellectual ideologue who was merely "lucky" in my guesses? What about the rest of you?
-- Karen M
Luck had not a damned thing to do with my "guesses". My first thought upon hearing about Iraq was...WTF?! It went downhill from there. So, as matter of necessity (in order to maintain my sanity, more or less) I read everything I could find that went beyond the MSM or the Bush Administration line. Or is that a redundancy?
One example that really stands out in my mind was when I watched Powell's presentation to the UN. I listened intently. Laughed out loud at some of the cartoon pictures he held up as "evidence" that Saddam Hussein had cute little wagons of bio weapon makers, and that he had caravans of trucks carting off WMD out of buildings...under our noses.
The MSM paraded and preened and ran for the hills in fear. I read a few key essays and rebuttals to Powell's presentation. Conclusion: "Bullshit. Powell is a fool and a liar."
Even though that huge dent in the credibility of the already extremely pounded to death credibility of the Bush Administration was just one of ever so many, I'd say it was the end game for me as far as putting any faith at all in what the administration was putting forth about Iraq's WMD and the whole sorry bit about 'going to war' and shock and awing a civilian population that just happened to be full of 'brown people'.
