Reply #19: Still four weeks to go until August 31

[gratuitous]

We'll see if circumstances on the ground are distinguishable between August 31 and September 1. Just because you call a dog's tail a leg, it still has only four legs. Just because you say the war in Iraq has been brought to a responsible end doesn't make it so.

I don't know why I'm so cynical. Must be a personal shortcoming, which I'm sure many helpful people will no doubt be willing to identify for me. Thanks in advance ever so much for your concern.
