[Vision2020] Active Troops by and large, support Bush....

"Again, you can't compile a comparable list."

What a silly assertion to make. Of course I could compile such a list. 
Especially if I were to delve into the word of print media. Changing the 
parameters to bolster your view point will always result in a favorable 
outcome for your side of the discussion. Unfortunately, it's a fairly weak 
and transparent tactic. I realize that there is nothing I can say to sway 
your hidebound opinion so, as I told Joan, I will not engage in a "whose is 
bigger" contest as I'm sure it would not satisfy whatever new criterion you 
would dream up.
