No, you used your own words and tried to tie them to mine with a argument that was not apt.

Perhaps not the specific events, but Israel has been telegraphing their intent or desire to strike Iran since the day after we invaded Iraq. This is part of the reason why it would be far more difficult to accomplish as Iran has had 10 years to prepare and learn from Iraq's mistakes.

Here is your post;

Or, it could be ordinary everyday actions.

This particular argument is the Mrs Kravitz argument. Mrs Kravitz says, I saw my neighbor going into the bank. I think she's going to rob it. Mr Kravitz points out, she goes to the bank every Friday to deposit her paycheck. But, Mrs Kravitz says, if you were going to rob the bank, you wouldn't announce it to the world, you'd go about your business just like normal, until, wham, you take out your gun and hold up the bank teller.
Where are MY words?

You did not use my words in your post as you claim. So what is the point you are trying to make, that you did try to tie my words to your argument, or that you are so small that you need to argue about words that you said you used but actually didn't?

Unbelievable!!!

You said: "If you plan on attacking Iran and you need America to back you up are you going to announce it to the world or are you going to make things look like ordinary everyday actions."

And I said: "Or, it could be ordinary everyday actions."

Are you denying this?

I proceeded to point out that your argument that because it looked like "ordinary everyday actions" it might not be "ordinanary everyday actions" was a Mrs Kravitz argument.

Are there other words in my post that you take issue with? Please, enlighten me.

You used these words to pose an argument that was inapt. You implied that my words were in that argument and that is where you have been wrong.

I will not continue with this puerile logomachy.
