I took and passed this test before I was halfway through High School. And I wasn’t the most stellar HS student.
[/quote]So you should be able to show how to solve this problem right? Please go ahead.
And while you’re doing that, you should be able to operate this right?

You are correct. I’m sure you learned during your many years of service, that there is no nepotism in the military. Never. And no one ever cheats on exams either…
[/quote]This is where facts come in. W. was trained, tested, competed with others, and was qualified to fly military aircraft. Despite what you may think of our military, there are very few who would put an unqualified person into the seat of such an aircraft. Flying such expensive machinery entails hours and hours of training. Flying a plane (especially back then) is not the same as getting your driver’s license. You do not put unqualified people into a million dollar machine.
You can’t cheat your way into that, despite how little you think of our military.

Obamatons who keep bringing up Bush as a justification for Obama’s short-comings do themselves no favors. It shows a lack of critical thinking and an unwillingness to acknowledge certain facts.
By the way, W was a fighter pilot. You don’t get to be a fighter pilot without intelligence. It isn’t a position that is given to you. You have to earn it by being competent to fly.
Here is a typical question on an exam that W. had to pass. W. had to answer 60 questions like this in order to qualify for flying.
What should be the approximate elapsed time from the BOSEMAN (BZN) VOR to the DUBOIS (DBS) VORTAC if the wind is 24 knots from 260 degrees and your intended True Air Speed is 185 knots? (The magnetic variation is 17deg. E)
A. 33 minutes
B. 37 minutes
C. 39 minutesNow can you answer that question on your own? If so, maybe you’re right that W. is not an intelligent person. But the evidence proves you wrong.

arraya: while I do not generally read a lot of “christian” and “jewish” based publications about Iran, does that make the facts that they report less valid? I generally dislike accusations of “right-wing” and “left-wing” and other labels as proof that an argument is overblown or fraudulent because these labels are not logically connected.
When an iranian mullah and iranian tv says that America should be destroyed and jihad should be waged against the west, it doesn’t matter that a jewish publication or secular publication reports this. The mullah still said it and he still means it.
Credibility is often used as a means to buttress an argument, but lack of credibility does not mean that the argument is necessarily false. Consider that as a logical exercise.
We used to be able to say in America “stick and stones don’t break my bones but names don’t hurt me”, but we have to now look and at least acknowledge the threat.
And so, in response to the Iranian argument and its perception as a threat, you bring in an article about how the “apocalypse industry” is playing up the conflict. While it’s interesting, bringing up those facts do not make the iranian mullah’s words less valid.
Is Iran a threat? Sure. How big of a threat? Don’t know. Is it solveable? Probably. Will it launch a nuclear weapon against Israel and the west? Don’t know. Do you want to take that chance? NO.
