This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Besides, you are going to have to save something for Obama, when the
Afghan war is entering its tenth year there, a little bit down the line
there.

Remember, this is a guy whose hero is Abe Lincoln. Some things about the
Lincoln administration might give pause.
