What’s the chance by killing these children, we just killed a future Hitler or Arafat?
To: Andy from Beaverton
The fruit doesn’t fall too far from the tree, and if his kids were killed it is because he chose the life of a terrorists who always tries to kill civilians.

And if you read further, they have to mention that 70-100,000 innocent civilians were killed at one point in WWII in hopes of ending the war sooner.
Gotta give us our quota of guilt for the day.

U.S. officials tell NBC NewsAny bets these "U.S. officials" are State Department or CIA scum?
To: Rudder
They want us to think this is a moral dilemma instead of a moral panic for MSNBC and the MSM’s moral relativism.
