Same person who would accuse Pierce of being stupid could not even read simple military political concepts in Thomas Barnett's book.

So far, I'm fascinated. I'll probably be talking about this book's ideas from time to time.
And then he discovered Barnett discusses how to, for example, secure oil by doing NOT what George Jr, wacko extremists, and UG recommend. Suddenly UG could not read that book? Or are simple concepts that contradict his poltical agenda too toxic? Either way, UG is the last person to know who is stupid.

UG - you do yourself a big favor by not judging others as stupid. Your intellectual standing is not sufficient to make such judgements. You began here by knowing why the Vietnam war was lost But you never even read the Pentagon Papers. You have a bad habit of 'knowing' without first 'learning'. Therefore you are the last person able to judge who is stupid.
