No more so than your speculation about George the Elder changing his mind about taking Saddam out. That runs a bit contrary to things he has said in the past. From what I've read he recognized the potential for quagmire in an occupation. I therefore speculate that he actually advised Junior not to stick his hands in that tarbaby, and has been marginalized by the Junior and his administration as a result. He's only campaigning for Junior now because that's an image thing and a Republican thing, families sticking together sort of thing.
Say, this unsupported speculation thing is fun. OK, tell me what I have wrong, unsupported or not, doesn't it make sense? |
Poor choice of words on my part, Warrenly. I was being cheeky and gleeful at the prospect of posters expressing wild, speculative theories. I didn't mean it as a critique of yours, although I can now see that anyone might take it that way. I freely admitted that mine is speculative and that I cannot support it with hard data. I stand by that. It's just speculation on my part.
I'm not going to attempt to critique yours, because I think you meant it in the same spirit as mine, although perhaps with a bit more partisanship.
Mine is no better or worse than yours, as a speculative theory. If we are going to get down and pick them apart and note that they aren't supported, then that's pretty self-fulfulling, isn't it?
