16. Throw them off balance....
.....answer their question with a question! :)

FRAME THE DEBATE!



Ask them "Where does it all lead?"

then as they stammer and stutter forcefully ask them, "WHEN WILL IT END?"

Before they have a chance to recover, point out we're still stuck in Afghanistan and use the 'Q' word in reference to Iraq!

Angrily remind them that Osama and Saddam are still on the loose and Al Queda is regrouping.

Point out that everything we've done so far has only increased tensions and risks to American interests in the region and there's no end in sight!

Ask them why they don't believe that war is a last resort and why they believe war is the only way!

While they hem and haw their way back to their prepared talking points demand to know,
"what exactly do you have against the due process clause in the Constitution?"

Then sit back and let them try to defend their position! :evilgrin:
