In reply to the discussion: Osama Confession Video [View all]The Doctor.
(17,266 posts)53. Calling a duck a tank doesn't make it one.
Neither does throwing a tantrum and calling me arrogant and deliberately deceptive make it so. You are apparently engaging in the very same tactics wingnuts use. If they are guilty of it, they generally point fingers and scream invectives at the other party.
In this case, given that anyone with a properly functioning pre-frontal cortex can see that my reasoning is based on very, very sound assumptions, and that you have failed to actually produce any cogent argument beyond throwing irrelevant chaff, and given that you are unwilling to acknowledge a simple reality that I've pointed out many times (One more for the veiwing audience: "Uncoerced video of someone confessing to involvement in a crime is absolutely considered "hard evidence"" , it can't be more clear which is the irrational party.
I get the exact same responses from climate change deniers when I break down the logic that leads to the inexorable conclusion that we are responsible for global warming. They call me 'arrogant' as well.
You claim all this evidence exists, yet the FBI did not believe there was enough for a mere indictment. You are terribly conflicted in that you claim the video is both proof and 'weak circumstantial evidence'. Then, to top it all off, you think you're some kind of mind-reader that believes I want bin Laden exonerated?
Let me ask you a question: When and where did I say I believed bin Laden was not responsible for 9/11? And please, I know you're not accustomed to doing so, but do provide a link.
Bonus question: Do you believe Humans are responsible for the current global warming?

So I say 'you have nothing', and ask for the *actual* refutations of the paper....

We got here because in another thread I said that there is no hard evidence

You seem to be having difficulty with the English Language and very simple concepts.

So a video of someone bragging about comitting a crime is not hard evidence?

Your faulty logic, arrogant assertions, and outright distortions of what's been said in this thread

Oh, so you think maybe bin Laden might have painted the buildings with exploding paint?

Why should I expect that explaining it a fourth time would make a difference?

Yer just about off the deep end here. I don't recall telling Tombs anything in person.

Yes, you've convinced me that you'll keep repeating the same nonsense over and over

That's rather authoritarian of you to accept the FBI so righteously, The Doctor.

So now you believe there is a conspiracy theory that the FBI dismisses hard evidence?

If you can't understand the words "hard evidence" when they are put together,
