HerrDrFunk Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 6 minutes ago, Heretic said: Don't shoot the messenger. What message? You threw out a hypothetical situation and when it wasn't agreed with, you jumped to "so we should do nothing about terrorists?". That's quite a bit of middle ground you've decided to skip entirely past. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is the problem with your scenario and the one the Trump administration is promoting about Soleimani......this idea that cutting off the head of the snake kills the entire body. There's a chain of command between the guy planning the attack and the guys with bombs strapped to their chests. Someone will always step into the power vacuum. QS was replaced within a couple of days. If anything was "imminent" before the killing of Soleimani, it's still imminent (just as 9-11 would have been without OBL) and the government is giving people a false sense of security. 3 hours ago, Heretic said: So, you're saying, do nothing about terrorists then?

No, it was the strawman you created from the first post and now refuse to even acknowledge much less stand behind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't implied in the slightest. That was your projection and a wildly inaccurate one, at that. Now, as usual, you're doing your "you don't understand what I was saying" shtick. But you're wrong about that as well.....everyone knows an obvious strawman when they see one.... Edited January 10, 2020 by RUPERTKBD 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not refuting what he said - so how is that a strawman? Shall we start over and declare all variables first? Who's fault is it that the plane went down killing everyone on board?

Ok - so my choice of wording is incorrect - instead of making a sarcastic statement - I should have asked directly "What would you do with terrorists?".

You claim this statement "was implied from someone else's message" not yours..... 41 minutes ago, Heretic said: "Do nothing about terrorists" was implied from some else message - not mine. Yet, here you are making that exact statement. 3 hours ago, Heretic said: So, you're saying, do nothing about terrorists then? Let them do what ever they want? You made that comment towards me and It's a complete strawman. I can't say I'm surprised, though. you do this kind of thing all the time.....you say something ridiculous and then when you're called on it, you twist yourself into a pretzel trying to convince everyone that you didn't say something ridiculous. BTW: What @inane is doing is nothing close to "trolling". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
