So now that you're done enthralling me with totally irrelevant anecdotes about Sharpton and Kerry, you want to fill me in on the ships? Or better yet, provide me with a source of information that will prove the inadequacies and/or lies of CNN?

Your reference to "the main statement in question" puzzled me for a minute - but I'm assuming you are referring to the now infamous "16 words." Personally, I think discussion limited to that statement alone is irrelevant, and the ONLY person who would benefit from that is GW, because a focus on those words alone is easily (and somewhat justifiably) categorized as trivial.

BTW ... Ayn Rand is about as interesting as Herman Mehlville, and as exciting as watching paint dry. I waded through Atlas Shrugged years ago, and vowed to never repeat the experience. I don't quite get the obsession you seem to have with the fact that I've read some Marx - maybe you could never find the Cliff Notes, or did you simply accept the word of Herr Gruber years ago that anyone who exposed themselves to it was instantly corrupted?

For crying out loud, I checked it out of the base library at the Naval Training Center San Diego - I'll bet you can really go to town with that bit of information...
