<you can't produce any sound bites or quotes of Bush talking about an imminent threat from Iraq....I was right...>
So.....if they didn't use the word "imminent", the exact word (using two each of i, m, and n), they are off the hook. Likewise, you believe the Argentine Generals are off the hook, because I can't produce a quote where any of them used the word "Disappeared", to refer to their own activities. And the Nicaraguan Contras, and the Cold Warriors who funded and armed them, they are all off the hook, too, because I can't find a web site where they use the word "terrorist" to refer to themselves. Never mind the reality, what actually happened, the actual deeds, the real meanings.
And Pol Pot, he never did nothing wrong to nobody, you won't believe any of it, unless I produce a quote from him, with the word "genocide".
Oh. Except Pol Pot is the Other Side, the Black Hats, so at this point you radically lower the threshold for proving misdeeds. At this point, your endless forgiveness and credulity abruptly stops. The rules are different, for Bad Guys.
If I told you I had 2 + 2 apples, or 12/3 apples, or the square root of 16 apples, would you insist I never said I had 4 apples, because I never used the word "4"?
I guess it would depend entirely on whether I wore a Black or White Hat. |
