Yamamoto didn’t personally train all the Pearl Harbor pilots, but he is ultimately responsible for their actions.
Who do you think is ultimately responsible for recruiting them and setting it all up?

“Who do you think is ultimately responsible for recruiting them and setting it all up?

Thanks for proving my point. There’s a big difference between being the big cheese.....and being the SOLE operator of an attack.

Please scroll back upthread and see where this all started... it was where wagglebee questioned this phrase: "if one is to believe he is responsible for the 911 attacks"

I used to think that anti-Paul kooks were purely bitter leftists, but now I realize that many are simply in some part ignorant.

If anyone reading is in the latter category and unable to handle hypotheticals, Socratic examination, and elenchai/aporia, then I'm sure taxed2death can explain the original point in simpler terms or more explicitly.

But don't forget that most third-party readers of the thread are bright enough to understand the word "if" in rhetoric and they don't just gloss over it as if it weren't there.

I'm hoping that wagglebee, et al., just missed the word "if" and are not really the ignorant-kook type.

And before anyone thinks that I just called y'all kooks, he should re-read the words I used and refer to a good English textbook.
