Gee Bob you lose again. . . . invading a peaceful American home, . . ..

OY. It was a Circus of Defiance and the world knows it. There would be much larger damage done had the Government not FORCED the issue. THESE PEOPLE WERE OPPOSING THE RULE OF LAW. Have you got it yet? They were a MEDIA CIRCUS. They had layers of ORGANIZED RESISTENCE. There were para-Military Cubans working round the clock shifts at this house. This was hardly the Little House on the Prairie Innocent American Family of Law Abiding Citizens. THEY WERE DEFYING THE US GOVERNMENT.

If we are not a nation of laws, then what do you think that says to the world? The use of force must be squarely laid at the feet of these dramatic news manipulators that were trying to influence American Foreign Policy through illegal means. Holding a little six year old boy as a hostage to their agenda. Denying him access to his father.

Keep scrambling all you like and deluding yourself all you want. But don't try and feel good about what they are doing, at least in my presence. 'Cause I won't let you. You are just plain wrong on this.
