Bill: "We're going to leave one chair empty as a tribute to Barbara Olson who was a cherished guest and friend of our show who died last Tuesday on a plane that was carrying her here to do our show."
Dinesh: ... "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: "Not true."
Dinesh: "Not true. None of 'em backed out. All of them slammed themselves into pieces of concrete."
Bill: "Exactly."
Dinesh: "They are warriors."
Bill: "... staying in the airplane when it hits the building, say what you want about it, it's not cowardly. You're right."
I'm livid at his conclusion:
Barbara Olson died at the hands of a warrior.
I further conclude that although Maher insists that he supports the military but it is just our elected leadership he is calling 'cowardly' then he is insulting our military as well. He is doing so because GWB is now not just the President of the USA but is not actively the Commander and Chief of our Armed Forces. He IS the military now, AND they seem happy and eager to carry out any commands he sets forth for them in this battle against terrorism. Now why in heaven's name would a military that Maher claims to love and respect ever be so willing and eager to follow a "coward"? His story still doesn't hold water....it just stinks!
I only wish all military who are not so active with carrying out orders right now could or would take the time to write to Maher and ABC to let them know what they think of him. At least all military Freepers should at the very least. At least those who may feel as I do.
Thank goodness for this thread where I can continue to vent!
