While televangelist Pat Robertson has apologized for suggesting that Venezuelan strongman Hugo Chavez be assassinated, a former military man and an ex-CIA operative have stepped forward to say that his concerns about Chavez aren't exactly unwarranted.
"Chavez is a dangerous guy," retired Col. David Hunt told Bill Bennett's "Morning in America" fill-in host Steve Malzberg on Wednesday. "We helped to elect the son of a gun [and] after 9/11 you don't get to threaten us." The issue of assassination "should be on the table," Hunt said. "I'm suggesting that we use it as a tool . . . to get those guys nervous."
Former CIA operative Wayne Simmons agreed, telling Fox News Channel's "Hannity & Colmes," that Chavez has "threatened not only the United States and the west, but [has]armed himself with the revolutionary armed forces of Colombia, which is the oldest, most well-trained terrorist organization in Latin America."
"He should have been killed a long time ago," Simmons said.
Oh, piffle. Your thinking is just way to rational. You would make a really bad democrat.
Liberian gold
I agree with Robertson, but it was asinine to broadcast that. Now, if it happens, who gets the blame? Hell, we may has well go ahead, maybe that is the last thing anyone would expect... or, better yet, hire the longshoremen's union. ; ^ )
Why, thank you---I think that is the nicest thing you have ever said to me!!! lol
:) (I meant every word.)
Ah, Col, if you use assasination as a tool, the days of their being nervous are over.
So, forget the nervous part, let's just use the sniper teams and make the country a bit safer.
After the Nazis had seized power, Fritz Hess, the press attache in Germany's London Embassy, called on Churchill to sound him out about Hitler. Churchill told him that with Hitler in power there was only one solution to the "German problem".
"If a dog makes a dash for my trousers, I shoot him down BEFORE he can bite."
Why Pat of course...
Why Pat of course...
You mean they won't blame the Mossad?
I figured since Pat is a self-described Christian Zionist, the left will find some way to pin it on Jews, as is their custom...
Do you think the Islamic terrorism in India is because of the Hind-Jews? (/sarcasm off)
