"Don't bring me news I don't want to hear" would include not adjusting your own credibilty matrix on the basis of how this story was reported by various media...including our own tw. (I'd tell you what my own credibilty matrix entry for tw on political topics is at this point, but IEEE floating point can't represent numbers that small. :-) )
When a thread is titled "British to Withdraw From Iraq" when in fact the British *aren't* about to withdraw from Iraq and in fact have announced no such intention, that's just bogus propagandizing. What was that word you used again? Ah yes..."claptrap".
You can wave around all the red herrings you like, but it's still BS.

Look, Brits will withdraw from Iraq, as soon as Bliar has left the building. Until then more unneccessary casualties will follow. The only red herring here, or claptrap as you wish, is you pathetically arguing about the thread title instead of the subject.
