So......back to the subject at hand...... I take it you're not man enough to admit you were wrong, and I take it that you cannot (i.e. are not able to) provide me with a link for the complete statement.
So, I presume you are basing your criticism on the AP article that you linked, and not the more accurate Washington Times article.
Such is also the life of an 'i'm more conservative than you' freeper. Always siding with the left as long as it's critical of the President. Always believing the MSM and not the truth.
Nice finding these things out about you, dagnabbit. Thanks for the education. Next time, I'll stick with people who care about the facts, thanks.
G'bye.....
What OhioWfan (and I and others) have pointed out is that the State Dept statement said CLEARLY that freedom of the press is important. They also did say that the cartoons were offensive. How that is "siding" with the terrorists is beyond any rational thought.
In fact, dagnabbit, you seem extremely short-sighted. You seem to want President Bush to come out swinging saying the cartoons are great and Mohammed sucks. Imagine what that would do in terms of our situation in both Iraq and Afghanistan, how that would affect the WOT and the security of our troops. Anyone who thinks a ham-handed yet satisfying response like that would help anything needs to get a grip.
Some have maintained a position, fighting against the actual text of the statements, and instead of just saying, "Hey, I misundertood" like MANY FReepers have done, because they have integrity and were truly mistaken, dagnabbit seems hellbent on grasping at straws to give the illusion he is correct. Very strange.
