OBTUSE- a. of an angle, exceeding 90 deg. but less than 180 deg.
b. lacking sharpness or quickness of sensibility or intellect: INSENSITIVE, STUPID.
c. difficult to comprehend: not clear or precise in thought or expression.
Hey Slip, just trying to figure out that "colonial" slang!

Feh, I don't think it's stupid. It was a response to all the wacky theories. Ockham's Razor in a nutshell: don't make anything more complicated than you have to. All other things being equal, the simplest answer is most likely the truth.
It was kind of a joke. But we've all seen how poorly my sense of humor translates into print. Or in person for that matter...

News Flash from unconfirmed source: "George Bush was having a meeting with Suddam Hussein in a hotel last night. They were reportedly talking about a compromise for Iraq to stop attacking the US. But cameramen saw the two having sexual relations."
Now this is one sick president

Dudebusta you are an aussie. So why do you think you have the right to sit back and make conspiracies about something neither you or your country is involved in?
We lost 20-30 people in that attack, and an Australian owned company owned the 99 year lease on the retail area of the WTC.
I would also point out that your president also decided to get everyone involved in this issue - 'you're either with us or against us' was the quote.
I notice no retaliatory attacks were made on Switzerland.

The Aussie logic of vat_man strikes again!
Hey by the way vat, I think that quote was 'You're either with us or with the terrorists,' right?
You might be right - I usually look my quotes up to make sure of them, but Dubya's grammatical errors give me migraines.
I guess what gets me with international politics is the hypocrisy and double standards - it's amazing the lies people get away with. The US tends to get mentioned the most because it's the most prominent international player, but some of the stuff that goes on - Japan and whaling, I mean how do they get away with using foreign aid to influence voting on the International Whaling Commission - Australia and the mandatory detention of refugees, yeah, let's put them in jail and then wonder why they act like violent prisoners - the US and greenhouse emissions, the US consumes 30% of the world's oil and is the largest producer of greenhouse emissions, so if they don't do Kyoto, what's the friggin' point - just as a couple of examples. We think we've come so far since the 1600's, but the truth is there's just more at stake, the same crap continues to go on at an international level.
And the scary thing is, I'm not politically active. This is basic level analysis - imagine if I really did some research!
Yep, vat_man, the same crap goes on at an international level - only nowadays, it's more diplomatic and proper than in the 1600s when things actually got done in the world without someone somewhere getting on your back!
People think leading a country's easy, apparently. They don't understand that it's hard to even run a city! That's the biggest problem I have with politics, especially here. I don't know how it is in Australia, but in Washington, George makes all his staff members wear suits and ties to work. My problem with this is, don't we have bigger issues to worry about?? Same with saying 'African-American' instead of 'black.' Big deal! Who cares about that kind of crap? There's bigger problems in this world!
Okay I've gone off on some tangent...
Hey by the way infallible, doesn't the US (your country, I see) come up with conspiracies about other countries? We've got no evidence Osama can be linked to terrorist attacks, we've got no evidence Saddam is stockpiling weapons of mass destruction, and we've got no evidence North Korea is doing many of the bad things we 'assume' it's doing.

Well, that's probably open to debate!
It's all about spin these days. Yes we killed 30 people at a wedding, but we thought it was anti-aircraft fire, we're sorry we blew up those Canadian soldiers, and so on. we're sorry one of our military aircraft blew up that 747...
You're right - spin plays the most major factor in the international relations. I do not like how the Bush administration continually spins the war in Afghanistan - he doesn't understand that the people will not quit supporting this war just because we blow up a wedding...or two...

er...I'm missing your point here...
