gather from your posts that you will defend a bluedog democrat agenda, coupled with PNAC, without questioning the validity of the politics of one of the 'distinguished professor sources' who was part of bush and cheney's Provisional authority in the Iraq debacle. Some one a part of that segment of bush's war crimes cannot be accepted by thinking people as a credible source to trash PBO. Who are you to talk of actual defense when one of the sources used to bolster your argument was a bush neo-con? That negates ANY and possibly ALL sources used as a defense of the position you are defending. Get off of it. Their politics are suspect therefore, no matter how 'distinguished' they may seem to be, they are suspect also.
