We gunnies have a hard enough time fielding that from our actual enemies - doing it internally seems counterproductive. Eh, I just do not appreciate scapegoating.

I honestly don't understand why everyone has their panties in such a wad over this. I mean, he made a mistake, he got corrected, he admits it. Meh. This really isn't that big of a deal, IMHO.

It seems as though, to him, the "blogosphere" has become the nebulous "they" in the phrase, "So I heard that they were saying...." It is turning into a trend, and what is the quote? "Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. Three times is enemy action." <strong>Dirtcrashr:</strong> I did rather like that turn of phrase... It definitely exposes the man's hubris.
