I see it as unnecessary, but here it is again for clarity

I won't go quite that far just yet, but I do have to at least wonder about the validity of such a statement

Now let me break that all down for ya since simple statements seem to somehow confound you BT

"I won't go quite that far just yet" means exactly what it says, but to reinforce the contextual message, let me expound a bit and say : I won't go quite that far (because I have only personal assumptions, yet no solid proof) just yet (since I reserve making such an decision without further evidence)

The second part of the statement "but I do have to at least wonder about the validity of such a statement" means with some of what I've read about possible ties to the Arab world, statements he's been quoted as having made and various positions he's taken, at least make me wonder if there's truth to this idea (or these ideas).

Hopefully that clears it all up nicely for ya BT .... and thanks for playing
