"more extremists will be attracted to this" - not what you've mangled into your OP title. Bolo Boffin Sep 2013 #7

oh fucking please. It's exactly what I said and it's digusting bullshit for that man cali Sep 2013 #8

What Kerry said is NOT what you made it out to be. Bolo Boffin Sep 2013 #9

It is precisely what I said. And you fucking know it. cali Sep 2013 #10

No, it is not, and your distracting and doubling-down defense of it is what's disgusting here. Bolo Boffin Sep 2013 #12

could you split any more very thin hairs? cali Sep 2013 #13

Now you're misrepresenting me. It's a silly game you're playing. Bolo Boffin Sep 2013 #14

then what the fuck is your problem with my headline? cali Sep 2013 #15

Your OP title is inaccurate and I've explained why already. n/t Bolo Boffin Sep 2013 #17

After reading your explanation I agree with Cali. The title of the OP is correct. idwiyo Sep 2013 #26

You're wrong, too. The rebels are not all extremists. Kerry is clearly making that distinction. n/t Bolo Boffin Sep 2013 #29

Here, let me post a quote for you: idwiyo Sep 2013 #31

OP is correct. idwiyo Sep 2013 #42

OP is a lie as I've demonstrated. Goodbye. n/t Bolo Boffin Sep 2013 #43

Here are some "moderate" non-AQ rebels... David__77 Sep 2013 #11

I noticed a similarly twisted argument from Kerry. morningfog Sep 2013 #21

Cali, I have a question about this part of your OP article.... Little Star Sep 2013 #23

You are smarter than this - Kerry is referring to the AQ extremists, not to ALL rebels karynnj Sep 2013 #24

I realize that he's referring to some factions- not just A-Q related, btw cali Sep 2013 #25

Then why the distortion of his point? n/t ProSense Sep 2013 #27

His point is if the US drops support of the moderates - (ie "turns its back"), then the karynnj Sep 2013 #28
