Nothing to do with Oprah, but worry warts? Witnessing the two towers burn

Yes worry warts. The response by the United States has strongly
resembled a blindfolded kid, high on amphetamines, wildly swinging at
a pinata.

So you agree that the threat is valid, you just don't think the response
has been very good.


No. I think we are chasing our collective tails, and have failed to
even identify the threat correctly. The response so far has been a
negative as far as solving the problem.

Swisssssh! You missed! :')


You didn't answer the question for the second time. This is common when
someone can't answer an argument. You used the term 'worrywarts' as
though there was nothing to worry about. When someone mentioned the WTC,
you changed your argument to be about us swinging blindly at the wrong
target. When I pointed out that you changed the argument and asked you
if you thought the threat was valid, you tried to shift it back again to
solving the problem, instead of whether there was a problem to worry about.

This sort of behavior on your part basically acknowledges that there is
a threat, otherwise you would have an answer for the question instead of
trying to change the subject. So you can stop using the term 'worrywart'
since you admit there is a real threat to worry about. Unless you'd
prefer to try again with the fruitless backpedaling?

We removed Afghanistan as a safe haven. Bullseye.

Worry warts are people like you who get overwrought over things that
don't matter, and ignore things that DO matter.


No, they worry about everything, including the things that do matter.

There is a threat, but
you are doing everything you can think of to avoid facing it.


What is this threat, then, that I am avoiding facing?

Instead,
you create thousands of fantasy fueled false targets (also known as
strawmen and red herrings) and attack them, as if you are
accomplishing something by doing so.


So you are saying that the targets we are going after, Al Qaida and
those who would help them are the wrong targets. I'm curious as to who
you think the targets should be.

The Freemasons who attacked us....and took the entire US military machine
offline for the day they did it.

Hours and hours and not one goddamned jet shot any airliner down.....except
Flight 93 in PA because the passengers cellphoned home to tell their
families they were about to TAKE BACK THE AIRPLANE and blow the lid off
this puppy!
