And if we had dropped just one nuke on Hanoi, 58,000 American lives would have been saved, plus hundreds of thousands wounded, and we would have captured the hearts, minds, and genitals of all Vietnamese.
Nevertheless, it is pretty clear that once again the press distorted what was actually said. No media outlet can be trusted. Journalists have zero credibility - it doesn't matter which company they work for.
I believe they distorted it, but I also believe that Frist is essentially playing footsie with the very concept he's denying he voiced support of in the first place. Yes he attacks the very idea he'd agree with Taliban gaining office, but then explains how something must be done to bring discenters on board? I still think a Taliban component in governance is what he is intimating even though he's labeled that idea preposterous.
It's sortof like a no amnesty amnesty thing.
