(19,497 posts)you aren't very good at it. Snark is not a counter-argument; it's a pouter's concession. If you play the snide, snarky rhetoric game with me I'll hand it back to you pound for pound, wrapped with ribbons and a bow.
The PDBs that warned Bush of UBL's designs are a matter of fact that went unheeded and became a national tragedy that has served as the pretext of a decade and a half of war with no end in sight. The threat was real. Yet, here you are arguing that the warnings may as well have been ignored because the intelligence services are not to be trusted. Which is it? When are they to be trusted and when are they to be distrusted?
If, Heaven forbid, ISIS is able to succeed in an attack against the US it will be Obama's head on a pike, not yours. You're safe, as you always have been. You won't even be the one on the ground in Iraq and/or Syria. You'll be typing away about how stupid the American people are for turning the Democrats out of office for allowing a second 9/11 with nary a mention that you all but begged Obama to ignore the warnings.
