Exactly what I thought.
People are taking this out of context.
Today was a REALLY bad day for the MSM.
Mr. Williams needs to be reminded of the words of George Orwell:
"They sleep safely in their beds because rough men stand ready in the night
to visit violence on those who would do them harm."
If that doesn't describe his situation I'll eat my hat.
It's taken out of context. He didn't mean it the way people are saying it.
The MSM, led by al-Reuters, seems to be attempting hari-kari this week. Will they have any credibility left by the end of the month?

It may be close enough for government work. I say fry his ass first and then sort it out later. Like they do to our side...
Did you hear the rest of his answer? I want to hear the context because it sound like an outrageous comment. Help!
Yall, I just have to give Brian Williams the benefit of the doubt here. First, we must review a transcript to see if those were his exact words.
Brian Williams is not a crazy moonbat. He's respectable and has a good grasp of American history. I've seen him in many interviews. He's respected by a number of conservatives. Don't throw him under the bus yet, guys. If he were that crazy, he wouldn't be manager of NBC Nightly.
Saw it and nearly crapped my britches.
Brian Williams is a person who is not smart, knows he is not smart and is deathly afraid of you finding this out.
You are too kind to presume he didn't know what he was saying. The question was about people filled with some much hate they were willing to die in order to kill. His exact words. "We have guys like that too. They are called Army Rangers and Navy Seals."
It was clear he wanted to do the moral equivalance bit pointing out each side has zealots. How very moderate of him..Every Ranger and Seal should send him a letter.
That's about the most egregious anti-military statement that I have heard yet.
Our special forces aren't committing suicide in order to kill civillians. Our forces are trained so that they will not get killed while performing their military duties. And, they are not sent out to kill innocents for the sake of some prophet.
Believe it or not, Brian Williams is one of the better members of the alphabet networks. He's not insanely biased.
Just more aid and comfort to America's enemies from the occupation media.
This idiot has never any any contact with real soldiers. Rangers and Seals may be willing to die, if necessary, but they try to follow Patton's advise, which is not to die for their country but to make the other poor bastard die for his. Look at the way the Israeli commandoes got their guy out. The last thing on the mind of a trained soldier is to commit suicide.
