I didn't say that the article did! get your facts right.
I said "Optimistic doesn't begin to describe this perspective - more like delusional. Not that it may not happen, but that timeframe is rediculous."

Should you reread the post ... did you see the word "requoted"? Quoted is the quote you quoted. Requoted. To make it more obvious, I also put the requote inside double quotes.

I don't believe Cheney is being delusional. I believe he is declaring victory for having not lost "Mission Accomplished" on the President Cheney watch. Delusional would be those who believe Cheney's spin.

He's not a dumb man. Neither were the Nazis, Pol Pot, Milosevic, or Stalin. Each did good - according to their agendas. Delusional would be those who blindly supported these leaders; who did not ask themselves some damning questions.

It looks as though the quote was something I said. In order to avoid any possible misinterpretation.
State the facts up front, just quote the article, not me.

Maybe you should just get the Cliff Notes for my post - to make it easier to read.

It was posted right. Was the world 'requote' too complex. Were the double quotes too difficult to see.

The Cliff Note for that post:
.

Is that easier?
