"We have been the cowards lobbing cruise missiles from 2,000 miles away. That's cowardly."

Where does Mahr call the military cowards? How can anyone take that statement to mean the individual officers and NCO's that performed the launch sequence? How can anyone take that to mean anything other than the political leaders? Who here disagrees with calling clinton's attacks cowardly?

BTW, did you see or hear the exchange in question in context? I haven't heard form anyone who actually saw or hear it in context that thought that it was a slam on th military. I'm exmilitary and cant stand Mahr. He should get hell for what he says, not for what people think he said.

HOW you interpret what he said is up to the listener. He was not, however, misquoted.

Dinesh D'Souza: Bill, there's another piece of political correctness I want to mention. And, although I think Bush has been doing a great job, one of the themes we hear constantly is that the people who did this are cowards.

Bill Mahr: Not true.

Dinesh D'Souza: Not true. Look at what they did. First of all, you have a whole bunch of guys who are willing to give their life. None of 'em backed out. All of them slammed themselves into pieces of concrete.

Bill Mahr: Exactly.

Dinesh: These are warriors. And we have to realize that the principles of our way of life are in conflict with people in the world. And so -- I mean, I'm all for understanding the sociological causes of this, but we should not blame the victim. Americans shouldn't blame themselves because other people want to bomb them.

Bill Mahr: But also, we should -- we have been the cowards lobbing cruise missiles from 2,000 miles away. That's cowardly. Staying in the airplane when it hits the building, say what you want about it, it's not cowardly.

Where in that transcript did Bill Maher/Mahr use the words Clinton, politicians, or government? Who is lobbing missiles if not the military?
