Names? Do you mean jaded? That's not an insult it's a description of a person that is so hostile about something that it's literally wearing him out. Sorry if you took offence to that, but I do think it's somewhat true.
I would have voted for Bush in the US election, but I'm not so 100% on one side of these issues. Nobody should be. I realize that Fox leans right, and that CNN would be more pro than anti American, and that the BBC seems to have an axe to grind with the US.
I belive some serious mistakes were made in and around the Iraqi conflict, but I don't believe it was some plan to lie to Americans to go to war. Why go to that much trouble and then not stash some evidence of WMD in place to make it look good. Doesn't add up.
Everyone seems to want me to just accept that Fox is the right arm for the Republican party but the BBC is just a little less inclined to report things favorably to the US point of view?

Well perhaps I shouldn't take offence. In turn it's not an insult to be gullable it's a description of a person that's easily fed information/or an agenda, but I do think it's somewhat true. I mean you admit yourself you have doubts and don't like the way many things are handled, but you still would've voted for Bush, still swallowed it all.
I don't think they set out to lie to America, I think they were incosequential to their plans. They did what they wanted and sculpted certain facts to meet their needs and presented it.
I couldn't care less about what everyone seems to want re fox and BBC and what they want you to accept. Fox has right leaning american political views. The BBC, what's their vested interest in being anti american?
As for being burnt out, no worries not at all.

I won't take offence to gullable, but I also won't agree with you. To call someone gullible is to assume you have greater knowledge of reality, which you don't. You have an opinion that differs from mine. That's pretty much it.
You could be right ... Bush et al may have cooked the books to go into Iraq from the start.
But then I could be right too. He just may have been a US president that changed his philosophy on 911 and decided he couldn't let a hostile world just go on and hope not to get hit.
