aside from your own fevered imagination.
No kidding. You used this vapid phrase two distinct times. It's not even clever the first time.
That is false. I have never claimed that - in order to justify war - there need be sufficient evidence of WMDs to establish that the prewar WMD thesis be correct. I have simply stated that the prewar WMD thesis is strictly defunct and that this raises substantive questions regarding U.S. intelligence.
Say what you want, but concern with the skill with which the intelligence community conducts itself hardly justifies such a level of intractibility and humorlessness.
Thank you for the concession.
But the point of it being a false analogy was to show how false . . .
Never mind. Just never mind.
I have refuted the charge of Untestability
Only in your own pyretic phantasm. You just posted links which I declined to click. Refutation requires effort on your part.
If you choose to believe that the other 9x/10 exists despite the fact that it has not been proven to exist, then your faith is none of my concern.
What is your opinion on the flatness of the earth?
Better yet, if a tree is found to be on the floor of the forest, did it actually fall?
Deal with it.
Well, that's persuasive.
You have resorted to juvenile insults
Oh, give me a little more credit than that. While I admit I am not arguing with the style of those who were improperly potty trained, I enjoy the barbs -- whether you catch them or not.
I have chosen to leave my arguments to stand on their own merits.
Interesting choice of phrase. Have you neglected to do laundry lately?
If you had read the original exchange
One more time: I am not going to spend my day doing your work for you.
another of your snide, infantile jabs..
They were illegal in 1991. What were they using them for in 12 years? Bookmobiles?
Of course they were.
I assume you refer to the first sentence with your response.
But, then, you don't wish to debate on substance.. Do you?
It is impossible to debate on that which does not exist.
I approach all governments with cynicism as one might deduce from my screenname.
Have you ever heard of the FR screenname rule? Just curious.
I wanted to conclude our exchange at post #81
Bzzt! You wanted to get in the last word. You can conclude the exchange any time you want.
I mean we all know there were no military objectives. Just PR considerations.
Another False Dilemma..[sic]
One you've created. Recall that concern that the WMDs moved across the Syrian border was "BS".
