Drawn out, and in my paranoidal delusional mind it makes sense, but I do have a hard time getting it from up there to out here in a way that probably sounds sane and clear.

Damn it pan we agree again. While we stand on different ends of the spectrum we share, I believe, a very similar (and correct) understanding of what's going on.
I guess it only makes sense that those who see what's really happening will be attacked by those who blindly follow.
The problem is that certain people do not judge the sources. They sit back and say "Look, these guys get quoted and they've been in the military they must know more than everyone else." Let's not bother to think about the process that gets them to the airwaves or why Gore (or Bush or anyone else) might be quoting them. We'll only think about that when these talking heads oppose our beliefs. It's always "their" side that's wrong and biased. Not "our" side.
