Another ad hominem attack, I see.

I've never been pro-Iraqi.

Finally, this has been posted before with an almost exact same title. Do keep up.

The BBC is reknowned for its journalistic integrity.

Damn that was funny, quote-worthy for sure!

Whatever you like, I appreciate the compliment. I also think you'll find it to be truth.

Whatever. I think you'll find it to be the case, however.

I've been reading their liberal (our definition of liberal) slant for years now Dowding. They're "right up there" with NPR. The "Fox News" of the left in Europe, IMO.

Whatever, Ripsnort. Black and white must be more comforting to look at.

Ever listened to Rush Limbaugh?

You've been reading the BBC for years? Well, I'll bet I've watched and listened to the BBC for many more years than yourself. The BBC World Service is world reknowned and brings light into many parts of the globe.

I never listen to Rush, he's Comedy Gold. I get news from a wide variety of sources, sort them, and extract the news from their "internal commentary"...the BBC is right up there with NPR.

Anyway, all of this is an aside to the fact that you almost wet yourself in the rush to make a cheap shot at me, and missed an almost identically named thread about an identical subject. Laughable, really.

If he wet himself, is he dripping?

And if so, can I call him drip-snort?

C'mon guys, hug and kiss and be friends. Or lovers.
