Robertson: Chavez remarks misinterpreted


August 24, 2005
"I didn't say 'assassination.' I said our special forces should 'take him out.' And 'take him out' can be a number of things, including kidnapping; there are a number of ways to take out a dictator from power besides killing him. I was misinterpreted by the AP [Associated Press], but that happens all the time," Robertson said on "The 700 Club" program.

“If he thinks we're trying to assassinate him, I think we really ought to go ahead and do it," said Robertson on Monday's program. "It's a whole lot cheaper than starting a war." (Watch video of Robertson's comments)
"We have the ability to take him out, and I think the time has come that we exercise that ability," he said. "We don't need another $200 billion war to get rid of one strong-arm dictator. It's a whole lot easier to have some of the covert operatives do the job and then get it over with."


Yeah…. And, as I have seen pointed out elsewhere, so far the admin has not said “We don’t agree with what he said”, we hear “He’s a public citizen, he can feel free to state his opinion”. This admin has in the past made life difficult for public citizens who express opinions – see The Dixie Chicks for an example. The Admin only allows public citizens to have the opinions that The Admin agrees with. Look at how the The Admin is treating Cindy Sheehan, she has an opinion too and The Admin set the dogs on her – because her opinion is different from his.

Expect any day now for the droids on FAUX news to start repeating “Some people are saying that Hugo Chavez needs to go, that we should go to the aid of the people of Venezuela.”…..
