ROFL, THE SMILIE IN QUESTION! God I loved that.
Okay I haven't checked the context again, but that actually sounds like a general comment from War Angel. I mean yes it could have meant you, but given War Angel's political views it could have meant anyone who didn't see Iraq as a major threat, in which case it's a reasonable (if debatable) point.
Honestly I do see what you're getting at, but these aren't direct flames, and they might not even BE flames. Maybe a short post from a mod in the thread was called for, but this? It's fairly extreme.
