Brian Williams has yet to explain why his first thought to the question was to equate US soldiers to terrorists. I don't understand why he would make that kind of comparison unless he thinks there is a moral equivalency

Are you just dense? If the question was whether we had people as willing to die for their beliefs and/or country as the terrorists, who else would come to mind quicker? This is a mountain over a mole hill. Some people just dont have anything else to bitch about today. Have fun.

Hell, raise the possibility that terrorists were born as innocent little babies like us rather than sprouting forth fully grown from the mouth of the Devil and some will accuse you of moral equivalence. What a crock.

That is just it Dave...the question was not "do we have people willing to die"..The question was why would muslims exposed to western values still be willing to die in order to kill us. Williams reply..."we have guys like that too"

The crock would be making a fool of yourself without actually having heard the audio of the statement yourself.

I heard that audio several times, and what he said was crystal clean to anyone with a 4th grade command of English.

His only defense (short of an apology), would be that that was not what he meant to say.
