Pat Robertson is a Terrorist
What do you call a fundamentalist, religious leader who calls for the assassination of a democratically elected president? A terrorist. Monday, Pat Robertson
said of the President of Venezuela"If he thinks we're trying to assassinate him, I think we really ought to go ahead and do it...We have the ability to take him out, and I think the time has come that we exercise that ability."
Having thus revealed himself as a terrorist, and realizing that fact, today Robertson says his comments were misinterpreted.
"I didn't say 'assassination.' I said our special forces should 'take him out.' And 'take him out' can be a number of things, including kidnapping"
Actually, Pat, you did say assassination. And as the leader of the Christian Coalition, a major component of W's base, you represent your people well. With statements like this, it's no wonder the U.S. only has one true foreign ally.
Update: Of course, this is the talk of the net right now, and some people are making excellent points. I think both of the following comments from
fark.com are dead on. Perhaps I shouldn't link W and Robertson...
Farker 1: I'm sorry, I don't care what you think of Bush, but he doesn't need to apologize for every whack job that knows him.
Farker 2: I agree! I mean, the President would have to take a whole month off just to make that many apologies, surely he doesn't have time for that during war time...
oh.. wait a min..
nevermind.
In Their Own Words
Excerpts from
Daily Kos' amazing list of quotes on the topic of Clinton sending troops to Bosnia (where not one was KIA):
Victory means exit strategy, and it's important for the President to explain to us what the exit strategy is.
- Governor George W. Bush
If we are going to commit American troops, we must be certain they have a clear mission, an achievable goal and an exit strategy.
- Karen Hughes, speaking on behalf of George W. Bush
I honestly don't understand why when I write the same thing, people claim I'm some sort of unpatriotic heretic.
Yes, this is one of the few times I agree with W, but he's absolutely right: Victory means exit strategy. No exit strategy means quagmire. Quagmire means our troops die, and we fail to accomplish democracy in Iraq.
New Language: Honor our Fallen Heroes by Making this Country Better
Regardless of what you think of Cindy Sheehan, it is despicable that the neocons who oppose her would stoop to
mowing down the memorials she erected in memory of our fallen heroes.
Through their actions, the Bush administration and its supporters have very clearly taken an anti-troop position.
Now, they are defiling memorials?
It's time that Americans stand up for our troops! Democrats will
Honor our Fallen Heroes by Making this Country Better--not by blindly following incompetent "patriotic" leaders.
What are our troops fighting for?
Their great country. How disillusioned our men and women must be, returning to find memorials to their fallen friends desecrated by a supporter of the man who put them in harm's way.
Democratic Planks AWOL
Sorry for the radio silence. Things just kind of got busy. We're back.
