Do you not understand the concept of asking a question?
(Oops, there I go, asking a question, and a rhetorical one at that! Bad EE....BAD EE...)
That was a Q.U.E.S.T.I.O.N. that I posed to someone else, not words put into anyone's mouth.
In fact, that was a 'closed ended' question hopefully prompting a direct 'yes' or 'no' answer. I never did get an answer from that person. Nor from you.
But I'm done for tonight, I'm outta here. Watch some TV for me, I'm sure you're good at it.
Do you not understand the concept of "Military Bearing" and "Professionalism"?
During the Clinton Administration, if I'd addressed the SecDef the way that Spec4 did, I'd have been busted down so fast my head would've spun.
Do you also not understand that the reporter BRAGGED ABOUT PLANTING THE QUESTION?
Look at the way it was framed.
Look at the fact that it was PLANTED.
Oh yeah, you don't CARE about fact.
You've already proven that much.
"That was a Q.U.E.S.T.I.O.N. that I posed to someone else, not words put into anyone's mouth."
And you worded it so that it sounded like someone HAD said America couldn't do better.
Which is why you cannot defend your comment.
No one has said such.
