Since I'm not clever enough to figure out when you're changing the subject, perhaps you could clue me in before you plan on doing it? Rather than reference a discussion about one topic and then discuss something completely unrelated you could segue into it for me?

And the subject of what SwamP-ThinG wrote, and the subject of what I wrote, and the subject of all you quoted was about women and children. That's why I didn't quote the whole passage, just that selected text. When you choose to reference that, my selected text, I have to assume that that is what you wanted to discuss. Especially when you reference the topic in your own reply.

Perhaps I'm reading too much into this? Perhaps I should read your further posts with a more jaundiced eye? Perhaps I should initially believe that what you write is not really what you mean?
I initially replied because I didn't find your following comment very constructive. And I stayed on the subject which is the bombing of the alleged wedding in Iraq. Though according to you the subject obviously is something else since you think I changed it.

So? There are dead women and children all over the world right now. Is that the fault of the US too?
Because you mentioned women in your sentence, should I have read between the lines that you believe there were, in addition to children, no women killed at all in the incident? According to your logic probably.

Perhaps you should just stop assuming things and read my posts as they are. If I want to say I believe the US military killed children I will write it down.

And finally here's some more of your constructive exaggerations:

Yeah, that was exactly what I was doing......
