Obama on Terrorism: Let's Wait to Be Attacked?, page 5

Source

Dude it seems that you do dislike Barry O a whole bunch, maybe hate is the wrong word here... But upon reading this quote I did not read "lets wait to be attacked!"
Nowhere? It seems like you are just trying to create an arguement for arguments sake. In essence you are implying that Barry O would allow an attack to occur, just because he is, lazy, stupid, evil, sick or god knows what. You usually come with some logic but this was the wrong manner to present your doubts on his human decency.
For one, you are spinning this in logic free manner.

Such a question on Barrys judgment would belong to the realm of humanity and insanity. A realm of action and inaction, do and won't... The text you used is the incorrect kind of information to gather a persons propensity towards evil. The quote was only indicative of post crime/act action and Barrys leanings.

Second Barry is referring to a judicial matter, a matter of prosecution and punishment.
Courts, jurisdiction, prisoners rights and interpretation of the constitution... This statement if interpreted and not wildly spun speaks of his likely interpretation of the constitution, prisoners right in contrast to Bush's policies.

Your assertion of the meaning behind Barrys quote is illogical because you are taking a statement which encompasses after the offense matters of crime and punishment (his subject matter). Transposing this logic into the offensive/defensive realm of military and pre offense law enforcement (your subject matter).

The ACTION of committing or plotting terrorism- a crime- is military/law enforcement issue (yours). Will he (Barry) protect and act preemptively in a timely fashion???.

The Barry quote is a legal matter because it involves the ACTION OF prosecuting an act of terrorism which is an act of the past/or likely future. How will the terrorists be punished for alleged crimes, when, where and in which venue will justice be served???.

These matters are very separate - an example is you never see a cop passing official sentence on a criminal, do you? Or judge pulling out his 9 and hand cuffing a suspect?
Your logic is as logical as anyone of the two above scenarios.

Barry's statement is Judicial - your assertion is a defense/military + moral matter--
your whole case would be tossed out!

Provided you had a relevant quote your argument Would have held because you introduced conjecture!

You'd better start a new thread tomorrow--If I read between the lines and spun a tad then I would be justified to say HATE ON!
