Flannery made the phosphor on my monitor glow in
such a way as to indicate that:

Remember how I said pulling out of the ABM treaty was a dumb move,
because the Russians would think that any treaty we had with them wasn't
worth the paper it was written on?


No, but I can imagine you saying such a silly thing. We didn't
abrogate the treaty. We withdrew, which was completely within the
bounds of the treaty.


Your imagination really must be working over time. He never said we
abrogated it.

But hey, don't let what he actaully said get in the way of what you want to
say.



Well, guess what?:

So? Do you really fantasize that they wouldn't do this if we hadn't
withdrawn from ABM? And do you really imagine that the Soviets were,
or Russians are, punctilious about treaties in general?
