Brian Williams Gripes About Cost of Launching Missiles Into Syria; It ‘Endangered’ Americans!
Newsbusters ^ | April 7, 2017 | Curtis Houck

Leave it to MSNBC anchor and serial liar Brian Williams to step in it on night of breaking news. On Thursday night after the U.S. military fired over 50 missiles at a Syrian military base, Williams whined about the cost of the missiles and complained that it endangered Americans.

Williams was speaking to NBC News chief foreign correspondent Richard Engel when he suggested they “look at it in brass tax terms” because “we just spent $30 million tonight.”

Additionally, he complained that the operation “endangered in launching these things, as you know, every time one of these clears the tube on a Navy vessel, everyone breathes a sigh of relief all the young sailors on these vessels that launch these things tonight.”

He’s right, we should have let Brian go in there himself and clean house like he did at San Juan Hill and Agincourt.

How’s he wrong? U.S. taxpayers are now basically paying to help ISIL/ISIS win in Syria.

But he had no problem with Obama dropping 12,192 bombs on Syria in 2016.

Big deal. The Michelle and her daughters spent that much on a single vacation skiing in the Alps, and Barry gave $8 billion to Iran. But now liberals are worried about money?

Meh.

Funny, I didn’t hear anything from this jerk’s mouth when his hero Odungo gave $1.7 BILLION U.S. dollars to Iran on the sly, or the additional $400 million. Now he’s worried about $30 million for missiles that hopefully killed some of America’s enemies.

Is this guy back on the air? Does the left have some kind of ‘penalty box’ system for serial liars in the news business? After X number of months all is new again?

This is an example of why we don’t trust you, MSM.

30 million? That`s probably about what the Obamas spent on vacations and parties the last 8 years. I`m sure Brian Williams had the same concern for the tax payer over that expense as he does for this. /s

Double wow! First he is not going along with all the other deep state people wanting a war second, for the first time I found something I can agree with him on.

No complaint about the $80 or so millions spent on Obama’s vacations though...

What’s he griping about? He used to make the equivalent $ of 59 cruise missiles every year!
