If you followed the links I provided, you would have seen I have links to over a dozen souces, most of them reputable- the one that was not was clearly denoted as suspect in my post. This is assuming the links have not been stripped in the recent changes, which it appeared to me they were not.

Furthermore, I have taken the effort to compile the data presented by those posts, cross checked them with multiple sources for the sake of verification and put together a coherent argument based on those sources.

You, on the otherhand, posted a google search string: "x+y+z".

Its the difference, Dan, between having an opinion and faith that you are right and having reasons for believeing what you believe. I can search on "UFOs+Abdction+Anal Probe" and come up with about 10,000 results! That doesn't make the supposition that: "Space Aliens Abduct people and give them rectal probes" a supported statement.

Tell you what, Dan, you go actually read what I wrote, go follow the sources, and then come back and try to demonstrate me wrong. I dare you- show the coinage of your conviction that I have nothing to back me up.

dan 'wrote':
". . . but then my perception of Syria as the culprit (likely one of a few) is an educated one. What's yours?"

The fact that I took the time to compile my sources, check them and reason things out, put it all together and PUT IT IN A PUBLIC FORUM FOR ALL TO CHECK indicates that mine is not only educated, but it is also principled, and far more likely to be right than your- oh whats the best description... claim? supposition? pronouncement? How about pure BullShit?

Yours is baseless by definition! (as you provide no argument and no sources) and lazy. Faith, basically- which is the charge I have leveled against your arguments on the WMD/Terrorist/War position from the beginning. So far you are conforming well to that.

Keep the faith, brother Dan! Don't let reason and vain philosophies sway you!
