Yeah, what about the tasty wordsmithing in posts 20 & 21?

In response to comment #7,
you mentioned that, in an article written while Clinton was President,Bush objected to “moving the goalposts”. How is that possible? The set-asides were discussed under GW Bush.

No, I didn’t say that. You inferred it. I suggest you read the SciAm article I linked, reread what I originally said, then try commenting again with the chip removed from your shoulder. -ds

Here is the Scientific American article I referenced earlier.

http://www.sciamdigital.com/gsp_qpd....0C719A7

It is from the February 2001 issue which I would have received in the mail probably in December of 2000. Clinton was still president but Bush was president-elect.

When I said “this was written up in Scientific American while Clinton was still president” I of course didn’t mean that Bush’s subsequent veto was part of the article. The article is about the reneging on forestation credits.

Italics mine.  Kinda looks like an admission.
