1. There goes his argument

2. Nah. Only Crawford and the White House were kept safe by the
"fighting them there". Streets of nowhere were part of the deal.

5. The general thesis of fighting them over there so we don't have to fight
them over here is both ludicrous and absurd on its face as every terrorist attack not over there screams loudly and clearly.

7. Unbelievably Absurd
To be an American, and to believe that crap, you'd have to think Al Quaia had 10-12 carrier battle groups at the ready to storm the beaches of Coney Island.

Well, I guess if you watch too much Faux News.

6. It was a fallacy from the beginning.
Madrid, Bali, Turkey, etc. have all proved it to be ridiculous bullshit.
