Probably tin-foil.

Probably NOT.

Remember the old truism, that where there is smoke, there is fire?

The ones castigating it are always the import lobby apologists. Or agents of the Chi-comms.

But surprisingly, the General never denied he said any of it to my knowledge. Not that I would believe his denial.

So if I write a "speech" claiming to be by Paul Ross which quotes you saying you hired John Wilkes Booth to kill Abraham Lincoln, it must be true? I have no affection for the Chinese, and they may indeed be a danger, but this is a logical fallacy masquerading as an argument.

The ones castigating it are always the import lobby apologists. Or agents of the Chi-comms.

By definition a classic ad-hominem fallacy. You seem to specialize in logical fallacies. Make your argument; personal attacks demonstrate a lack of logic.

But surprisingly, the General never denied he said any of it to my knowledge.

Surprisingly? I doubt he's even heard about this. Has he been asked about it, to your knowledge? And by the way, this is yet *another* logical fallacy: an argument from ignorance.

Not that I would believe his denial.

So your belief in this speech is therefore some kind of religious dogma.

Anyway let me see if I can understand your argument: It's all true, because someone wrote it (where there's smoke, there's fire); anyone who says otherwise is a communist, and you're unwilling to listen to any other opinions, or let facts get in the way. Tell me this: Do you think 9/11 was an inside job?
