I absolutely agree, the typed pauses were there to make him look like an idiot. I'm not surprised by that and neither are you. However, if I watch this Friday and this piece rings true to what I hear, pauses in typing won't be necessary to make that distinction. And yes, before all of you get your damned underwear all bunched up, I voted for him. Twice.

First of all, remember that headlines for articles often paint the entire article before you even read the first word.

It frankly drives me nuts how many freepers respond to headlines instead of what the article actually says. It's obvious that many don't even read the article, or at least much of it, before they feel sufficiently informed to post their brilliant response.

This article doesn't justify the headline. Maybe the interview does, but not what's printed here.

Some of the words he used in response to 9/11 can be second-guessed, even by him. But would he have changed any of the actions he ordered? I don't think so, and I don't think you'll see him saying so.

Sad there are some posters on this forum who think otherwise and believe Reuters is the second coming of marx.

I absolutely agree, the typed pauses were there to make him look like an idiot.

Those typed "pauses" are called ellipses, and are standard items used to indicate part of the quoted person's remarks have been omitted. They can be used legitimately to shorten a lengthy quote to include only relevant information. But more often with our leftist press, they are used to distort and make the quote say what they want it to say.
