I fail to see the big deal about this if all the flap is about the fact that they ‘discussed’ bombing Al-Jazeera? Since when is ‘discussing’ something a crime? DUmmies ‘discuss’ killing Pres. Bush all the time.
Bombing Qatur, a completely different country wasnt authorized by the either government nor the UN.
The article linked in the first post states that authorities differred on whether the comments made by Bush were intended to be serious. That’s one thing that’s hard to get out of a memo. Seems kinda odd to be joking about bombing Al-Jazeera, but then Reagan was joking when he said “The bombing begins in 15 minutes.”
