I read the other thread without seeing the conversation in context. In no way do I think Brian Williams was trying to equate Seals and Rangers with terrorists. The words were poorly chosen, but I do believe he meant that we have men and women willing to give their life to defend and protect us.

I think you're right. Brian reminds me of Petah Jennings, a handsome man with a fine voice who has a gift for reading a teleprompter on air, but who has below average intelligence and a mediocre education. He was ineptly trying to point out that we have soldiers willing to risk death to fight this war. Of course, he completely missed Matthews' point, which was if our strategy is to get the islamofascists to adopt Western ways and therefore stop trying to kill us, the British terrorists appear to say it's not working.

I totally agree....we had this argument last night...and while I'm no fan of most the the media, some on FR just want to see hate and presuppose he meant terrible things when in fact I believe he just misspoke....Its funny how some on our side even will see all kinds of things that are not there just to fuel their hatred......tis a pity

Agreed.
