On his August 10th "700 Club" television show, Pat Robertson said the US should kill world leaders it doesn't like. He called for a change in US foreign policy to include the assassination of foreign leaders.
"I know it sounds somewhat Machiavellian and evil, to think that you could send a squad in to take out somebody like Osama bin Laden, or to take out the head of North Korea," Robertson said. "But isn't it better to do something like that, to take out Milosevic, to take out Saddam Hussein, rather than to spend billions and billions of dollars on a war that harms innocent civilians and destroys the infrastructure of a country? It would just seem so much more practical to have that flexibility."
"As a Christian, Pat should ask himself, what would Jesus do?" said Barry Lynn of Americans United for Separation of Church and State. "In my Bible, Jesus never said anything about assassinating heads of state. Forget schools and courthouses, maybe we should post the Ten Commandments in Robertson's office."
It seems Pat Robertson also suggested today the assassination of a leader in South Amerca.
Do you think Jesus died so the world could keep crucifying Christians?
Also, what would Paul the Apostle think (who wrote the church doctrine)? Remember he used to KILL Christians... 'till his conversion...
Pat Robertson is a PROTESTANT not a Catholic... there is a doctrinal difference, even today...
Ari Fleicher...
A spokesman for the president...
Ari Fleischer told CNN he was making a "rhetorical point" on the cost of a possible war and his comments were not meant to send signals to the Iraqi people.
However, Fleischer said, "no one would shed a tear" if the Iraqi people took the matter of Saddam into their own hands.
The clarification came after Fleischer's afternoon briefing with reporters when he was asked about the possible cost of any war with Iraq. The Bush spokesman said the president has not made any decisions about military action so therefore it is "impossible to speculate" about costs.
However, he went on to say, "I can only say the cost of a one-way ticket is substantially less than that. The cost of one bullet, the Iraqi people taking it (on) themselves, is substantially less than that, the cost of war is more than that."
Comment:
What's the difference?
