Only if you consider appeals to authority(all the experts agree),

Well, of course I consider appeals to authority. That's the entire basis of most arguments, and what each of you conveniently overlooks.

innuendo(pretty much anything having to do with Obama)

Very little of my complaint against Obama has been "innuendo". I've complained about relationships with terrorists (not innuendo, but known to be fact); I've complained about inexperience (143 total days in the US Senate); about extremism (I've cited numerous positions of Obama's that are on the extreme far left); about arrogance (the very idea of a junior Senator speaking at the Brandenburg Gate is one of tens of examples of extreme arrogance). In fact, I cannot think of any "innuendo" I've mentioned in connection with Obama.

and just plain making stuff up(terrorism has declined since the invasion of Iraq) as well-reasoned, I suppose you have a point.

Actually, my only position about terrorism since 9/11 is that it has declined where it matters, in the United States. We haven't had another successful attack since 9/11.

However, MOST of the increase in terrorism since 2001 is attributable to the use of terrorism tactics in the Iraq war, which obviously can't rationally be considered.

My argument is and has been that as a result of the Bush administration, the United States is a safer place than it was on 9/10/2001. This is self-evident.

While we're likely to see some more violence in Iraq, the trend is clearly a very positive one, and it is a trend that EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU LIBERALS HAS BEEN DEAD WRONG ABOUT. EVERY LAST ONE OF YOU.
