C'mon, Rich, you've got no leg to stand on here. RML said this - quote:
You mean like the conservatives on here who were accusing Obama of ordering the Seals to heartlessly kill those misguided Somalian teenagers that were holding the captain of the Maersk Alabama at gunpoint? You replied that this was a lie, that nobody had ever said any such thing. RML then backed up his claim with this quote - quote:
Fantastic to see no talk and shooting in the head! Especially good to see some who frown upon capital punishment welcome the judgment and execution of these men, rumored to be as young as 15 years old. However better dead than imprisoned and tortured in Gitmo, huh? Good to see the "talk to our enemies, to understand them and make them our friends" disclosed as just campaign rhetoric. Wonder if he called President Bush first, or just used the playbook he left behind, moving from the chapter about 'Economic Stimulus' to 'Killing US Enemies of Any Age'? In addition, Merc also said these things - quote:
Maybe we'll hear from the 'Commander and Chief' who ordered these executions once the important matter of taking 'Bo' for a walk... quote:
These 'simple fishermen' supplementing their meager existence by piracy need to know - as common criminals - a bullet to the head is what this Administration will do... quote:
Really? So you and others are okay with 'Rambobama' shooting common criminals in the head and are off the 'chat' and 'convert' plan? Common criminals deserve to die. quote:
The second point was comparing President Obama's campaign rhetoric where he said he would follow a philosophy of "talking trough situations and problems with our enemies" to shooting this one, happening to be a teenager, in the head to resolve the conflict. I could bring the point to the Administration's current inconsistency of bringing foreign citizens under the protection of the US Constitution wanting to put them on trial, yet saying a US citizen who joined forces with one of these 'talk to them' enemies, subject to a sniper bullet. In short, Merc said exactly what RML said he said, no matter how many pretzels you two want to try to twist it into. But by all means, do keep it up. It's as hilarious as it always is.
