I really hate to burst your bubble - but you didn't actually ask a

Did you?

Donal, you seem to be catching Ganz's disease. What I said was:

Do you suppose that might be relevant in determining whether the
decision to
use the pills was motivated solely by profit as Doug hallucinates?

That looks to me like a question. Anyway that's what the funny little
thingy
at the end is supposed to indicate.

Unless, that is,
you're suggesting that DOD officials were on the take from the
pharmaceutical industry throughout the Clinton administration.

Who cares if the Clinton administration was corrupt? At least they kept
Al
Qaeda out of New York.

So you did indeed intend to say that the DOD was on the take from the
pharmaceutical industry during the Clinton administration?

Nope! I intended to say "Who cares if the Clinton administration was
corrupt? At least they kept Al
Qaeda out of New York."

In fact, that's exactly what I said!

Let me try to explain it in simple terms.

The Clinton administration was quite successful in it's efforts to keep Al
Qaeda at bay. The Bush administration oversaw an attack which resulted in
the deaths of over 3000 Americans.

So, when I say "Who cares if the Clinton administration was corrupt? At
least they kept Al
Qaeda out of New York." - I am referring to the fact that Clinton did a
much better job of protecting American lives.

You seem to think that semen stains are worse than dead Americans!!

I expect there
are some folks who would have a keen interest in the evidence you have for
that. However, I don't think they'd find "profit is a great motivator" to
be
very persuasive as evidence.
