You put that phrase in quotes as if I wrote it yet are misquoting me.
You have removed the first words of my sentence and substituted your own
words ('that the reason') and attempted to palm it off as a quote from
me.  These sorts of misrepresentations and falsehoods are totally
unacceptable and are a perfect example of the issue of 'intellectual
dishonesty'.

I see no reason to engage with you further on this Afghanistan thread
since you continue to misquote and misrepresent me.  And do not state or
imply that I can not support my views because you would be stating yet
another falsehood, hopefully you will have enough integrity to not try
that canard.

Fortunately there are others on this list who can engage in a civilized
and honest discussion of Afghanistan and other matters.
