Coulter’s sentence was poorly phrased. She was obviously referring to US civilians, not foreign civilians killed during wartime.
For that matter, if we’re going to drag wartime collateral damage into it, numerous WBTS sieges and other incidents undoubtedly had a much higher civilian death toll. Sieges of Atlanta, Vicksburg and Charleston spring to mind.
What military assets were involved at WACO?
In your strawman attack you forgot to mention Nagasaki. The civilians killed by our atom bomb attacks on Japan were done while we were at war, and we saved more civilian lives than we took. We killed far more with fire bombs than we did with nuclear weapons in Japan. If Japan didn't want their citizens nuked, they should have kept their a**es at home and stayed peaceful.
Now, let's discuss the number of civilians the Japs killed before we were able to drop a bomb on them and end their reign of terror in the east.No, don't want to mention that? Wow, will wonders never cease.
Your whole comparison of Japanese civilians with American citizens killed by an American AG is just a tad stupid, well....maybe a lot stupid.
No. She was deflecting blame. Think about the timing of things as I described in my first post on this thread.

Agree.

Here is another miscarriage of justice:number of secret FBI files in the possession of a White House employee that no one admitted hiring (Craig Livingstone) during Gonzales tenure 0, during Ashcroft tenure 0, during Reno tenure 900. Remedial action taken and punishment doled out: none. Hillary and Bill probably still have the files and are probably still using them for blackmail purposes.
Okay, I misunderstood the point you were trying to make in your previous post.
I didn't forget Nagasaki. I picked Hiroshima because that's where our government killed the greatest number of civilians. That's all I was referring to: civilians killed. I certainly don't think killing them was a bad thing. In fact, I think all the current moaning about (non-US) civilian dead is very bad for our country. If I were President after 9/11 there would have been a lot more civilian deaths caused by our government.

“Civilians killed by Ashcroft: 0 Civilians killed by Gonzales: 0 Civilians killed by Reno: 80”
Approx. 350 Indians were killed at Wounded Knee; I think it was 1890. So, she was only off by 270. She’s still a doll.
Elian was just another fat paycheck to some non assimilating cubans most of whom don’t speak english . They acted like savages pulling on that poor child . He is with his father where he belongs ,not a bunch of strangers who will make money off him.

I don't believe a Clinton or Dem Admin would get away with that today as the New Media wouldn't let them.
IMHO when will we have the Islamic wounded knee? Will the US military fight this foe for 100 years and then snap?
Wow, I’ve never seen this before - we got all the way to post #34 before a picture of Ann was posted!
I believe she was also Clinton's third choice after Lani Guinier and Zoe Baird bombed out before they even reached the confirmation hearings.
Elian's father was a biological father only. He was never married to Elian's mother and had absolutely nothing to do with either of them during Elian's life up until his mother bringing him to the States. Most courts here in the States would look upon such a connection as very very tenuous and probably award custody to someone in the extended family, like his aunt and uncle in Miami.
I was late to the thread!
