CJ, > Ok. I guess we are back to you not understanding what a straw man argument is.

merriam-webster.com

Main Entry: straw man
Function: noun
Date: 1886
1 : a weak or imaginary opposition (as an argument or adversary) set up only to be easily confuted

The "imaginary opposition" is my supposed support of nothing less than a "full-scale nuclear strike." The ease at which one can confute that argument is obvious.

Like I said CJ, I can understand basic English, and I can use a dictionary for terms that I don't know. If you want to use Clintonian logic and claim that you didn't make a straw man argument because you said "I guess," go right ahead.

As for me, I said before and I'll say it again. Link or it's a straw man.
