I have known Mac for half of my life, we've grown up together, and I call him an uncle to my daughter. I trust him with what he has to say or can't say yet, as much as I honor him being over there in the arena and keeping us safe. So it's really upsetting that you would act in such a condescending manner when speaking with him.
If you can't add anything constructive to the convo, by all means, keep sputtering nonsense, just don't mind if I ignore you, eh?
I also don't care which facet of the one party system we currently have said what about them either. They were not involved with 9/11 so therefore they had not attacked our borders. Now if they had attacked our borders, declare war properly, and wipe them off the face of the map. Too much pussyfooting around with PC tactics if you ask me. Course that's what you get when you don't officially declare war.
But no, I do not believe the WMDs were not 'shipped to Syrian deserts' or hidden elsewhere. The simplest answer is that if you can't find something it doesn't exist. To ask me to prove a negative (that they were destroyed) is futile. You make the positive argument (that they existed at the time of invasion) so the burden is upon you to prove said argument. Otherwise, that's like saying everyone is guilty of murder unless proven not to be so.
I trust him with what he has to say or can't say yet,
Well that's where we're different. I don't trust anyone except God and family (and even then not all of them). I have no reason to disrespect or dislike Mac as I don't even know him. You're probably two personable guys that seriously believe what you believe. But I also have no reason to take what he says as gospel because he, you, or anyone else says so.
