LOL! Nice going Major. Is there still a little fauxnews running through his veins? I suggest we promote him to Major General or at least change his middle name to general. How long before his access creds get pulled? Can't be callin' out the potentate.

I hear that all the time from Leftist trolls on call-in radio shows, arguments on social media:

“TOUCHED A NERVE, DIDN’T I?”

It’s all about provoking an angry response, and justifying their argument emotionally - because they have no facts.

Charlie Rose grilled him and asked if he wanted to take the question back: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/chat/3312589/posts

““Can you tell the country, sir, why you are content with all the fanfare around this deal to leave the conscious of this nation, the strength of this nation, unaccounted for in relation to these four Americans?” Garrett asked.”

Oliver Darcy (or his proofreader) would do well to learn the difference between “conscious” and “conscience” OR to use “(sic)” to indicate Major Garrett’s own incompetent grasp of the English language.

Maybe he meant ‘conscious’ since it appear that there’s a lot of IPOS/SPOS/LPOS/UPOS who aren’t conscious most of the time. :>}

Good catch on the word misuse.

I love it when someone calls out this goon and he shows exactly what he is, a POS. Of course there is never any follow up allowed in these PRs, as his self acknowledged excellency pontificates at length with each answer as if he is teaching a remedial freshman class. The follow up would have been how is it that Iran managed to get its number one terrorists removed from the watch lists while we could not negotiate for the release of these 4 individuals? His pinball eyes would have gone tilt being challenged by that one. So, rather then letting it get there, he takes him on personally “that is nonsense” and “you know better”. Yeah, we all know better, it is about you, not the country.

I can understand if this was spoken as to how the word could have been taken either way. The important thing is why wasn’t the release of Americans considered important in this deal?

See B.S. elevated Dan Rather to the anchor chair for asking similar questions of Richard Nixon.

How refreshing. A reporter with courage.

Garrett’s make up and hair were not done right for a television broadcast.

Maybe the CBS is not so crazy about his being a serious journalist and angering dear reader. Messing up hair and make-up is what TV stations do to politicians when they are trying to discredit them to the public.

It’s unheard of for a reporter to address The One in this way. I don’t get why they all stay in line and I am not surprised that Major Garrett steps out of the propaganda line and acts like a real journalist. He has integrity.
