   And then he brings up Saudi Arabia yet again! You guys are just kooks   
   and cannot refute arguments at all. We were talking about getting Iraq   
   free and not about Saudi Arabia and we weren't talking about the 9/11   
   terrorists.

   He just brought up Saudi Arabia. Why? So he could yet again say that the   
   9/11 attacks came from Saudis therefore the Saudi government was behind   
   it. That's been shot down.

   It was yet another attempt to divert from our efforts in Iraq to 9/11   
   and people of Saudi Arabia origin.

   No, I showed the strawman argument that he was putting forth for what it   
   was yet again.
