Dave: Which doesn't make Gautam's ad hominem attach justifiable
or Reggie's rejoinder any less on point. I thought that
Reggie was pointing out that the Senator probably wasn't
"busy drowning innocent young women," as that event had
taken place decades before the Iraq comment. On the other hand, if Senator Kennedy *had* come up with
his statement on the Texas oil-interest origins of the
Iraq war when he was, as Gautam so delicately put it,
"busy drowning innocent women," then he has some
prodigious prophetic powers.Sincerely,
Dave
