I was questioning Mike's statement that the article was a bogus claim on 'A nuclear-armed Pakistan in danger of fragmentation' not about who was responsible, who shared responsibility, or to point blame. As to party responsibility (I don't doubt that although it is more an administration responsibility, not a party responsibility), let's not forget the Congress is controlled by the Democrats, not the Republicans. There is plenty of blame to go around and everyone in the House, Senate, and the administration shares it. That involves all parties.

Also, who is supporting the Republicans? Certainly not me. I am not Republican. There is far too much 'party blame' around here and it gets tiring. I see it constantly - the Dems blaming the Repubs and vice versa. Whenever I see it, I tend to play the devils advocate. Don't be confused into thinking those are my beliefs. I just like a good discussion on an even playing field. The parties did not do any of this. People in those parties did by acting or not acting when necessary. Sometimes they did it for political purpose. All parties are far far too guilty of that and does nothing but damage.

Mike made the 'bogus claim' statement and still hasn't responded himself what he saw as a 'bogus claim' or did I miss it? It's very likely I did.
