Default Re: Quine and analytic statement

Do you mean his argument that the definitions for analytic statements by past philosophers are circular? He presented this argument in "Two Dogmas of Empiricism", and it was his reason for denying a distinction between analytic and synthetic statements. Or do you mean that analytic statements are themselves circular? Or something else entirely?
