Thank you for explaining to Joe that he implied Iran has no missles. That is the same exact thing everyone else has been trying to get across to him. If you had read the numerous posts he has tried to wriggle out of it with you would have been disgusted long ago.
"Implied" does not fit "assertion". Sorry, Cathy and golf boy. I made no assertion.

Furthermore, an assertion does not end with a question mark, because an assertion is not a question.
There was no assertion. But, because are required to disagree.
You beg Cathy for clarification and then dismiss her when she doesn't agree with you. I see you really don't have any respect for her teaching credentials after all. I told you to stop digging long ago yet your shovel has gone into hyperspeed. You have just burned another bridge.
Even an inference wouldn't have made sense. The only information I have about this recent missile thing came from the same news sources we've all seen since the launch, plus I've committed the ultimate sin: I remember things I read in the past about similar situations.
I don't have enough information to assert anything on the subject.
No, the Joe Wilson whose then-undercover (without the usual diplomatic passport) spy wife was outed by Karl Rove & co. and caused our only human intelligence channel for Iranian WMDs to be shut down.
If you can't get even the very basic facts, like these, right, there's no way you can reach valid conclusions. Joe Wilson was not a publicity hound. He simply heard GW Bush tell a falsehood during the State of the Union address that was way too important to be left unchallenged.
That was only before the Gulf War. The settlement terms of that war required Saddam to get rid of his WMDs, and he obviously did, as the $600M spent by the Iraq Survey Group showed when it turned up nothing. Also there's no evidence that Saddam had moved his WMDs into Syria before the 2003 war began, but if he had, why haven't any of the insurgents or terrorists smuggled them back into Iraq (lots of fighters have crossed the Syria-Iraq border) and used them against the US or others?
Cite. I can't find anything about Saddam gassing or germing Kurds post-1991, probably because the British and US were always patrolling the no-fly zones that included all of the Kurdish area.
I know exactly what I mean. You implied Iran doesn't have missles. OK, Bright Boy, tell me what satellites tracked from Iran then. The BBC says Iran does have those missles. Tell us, *PLEASE* what inside information you have that the rest of the world doesn't.
And don't come back with a bunch of your usual mealy-mouthed rhetoric, or I'll plonk you on this machine, too.
