3. But W. Starr's response implies that he is confident he knows
Pournelle's views on the subject, and he is apparently wrong. Before
making rude and dismissive assertions about someone, it's probably worth
having better information than a conjecture about the origin of a quote.

Based on past remarks and actions on Pournelle's part, i would say
that Our Mr Starr is very likely correct in his assumption.

Oh
Dear
Lord

Yet another person who can't be bothered to read - except in this
case, it's the quoted material of the post he's responding to (There's
my response, which he doesn't quote in *his* reply, but it was still
there in Mr. Friedman's post and the bit where Mr. Friedman reiterates
it). Moreover, he can't be bothered to read Dr. Pournelle's own
long-standing, ongoing comments on the matter.

Dr. Pournelle was against invading Iraq from the start.

Mr. Weber has quite publicly proclaimed that he has me kill filed. If
this is his normal level of attention to detail when posting, I see no
great loss in not having him directly interact with me.
