I said Ireland was bailed out in 2010, he said NAMA late 2009, I said that I meant states, not banks. And then said he meant "attacks" and that the Eurozone bailouts are red herring. And then I pointed out that attacks and bail outs go together like a horse and carriage.
And then you brought up the rescued banks by Belgium/Netherlands/France.
I hope everything is clear.
We even called the order in which they would come for Eurozone countries after Greece: Portugal, Spain, Italy, France, with Belgium either just before or just after Italy, depending on how much being white and speaking decent English counts for.
You then tried to play gotcha by noting that Ireland's creditors were not bailed out until 2010, and therefore Ireland should have been included in any prediction made in 2009.
Which is completely irrelevant, since the bailouts of Ireland's creditors were Act 3 of the Irish Assisted Suicide, and Act 2 - which was the first one that involved international economic hit men - took place in 2009 (Act 1 was in 2008-9, but as you correctly note that part involved only Irish economic hit men, not foreign ones).

I may be a sad existence, but I'm not sad enough to brag about being able to predict events that are already part of the public record. That you seem to think that this is a failure is less telling of any failure of mine than it is of your insistence on extrapolating wildly from a single data point to reach a conclusion that goes against the overwhelming weight of the remaining data.
That's called "cherry picking," and it's a denialist tactic.
