No, I don't have empirical evidence. I have never been to Iraq. I was once in Saudi Arabia.
The information I have comes from news sources.
"The information I have comes from news sources."
The troops over there are P.O'd with the news services because the news services are not being honest.
That about says it all.
News sources or propaganda sources? If your assertions are accurate, there are empirical news sources that can provide an accurate assessment of the situation. And I don't mean from a potentially biased individual like a Syrian "political expert," who most likely has his own stake in Islamic law to shove down our collective throats.
I have no problem with discussing this rationally, but I will not waste my time arguing with liberal talking points. Provide evidence from an empirical source, and we can talk. Otherwise, you know where the door is.
That's one bibliography I'd love to see. LOL
