While you didn't include me here, and I never asked that she be censored, I did state that as a senator acting in her official capacity, she should be required to state her employers position correctly.
Excuse me.......but who do you think is her employer?
"We haven't done that," Murray said. "How would they look at us today if we had been there helping them with some of that rather than just being the people who are going to bomb in Iraq and go to Afghanistan?"
She is flat out wrong. The US is the biggest giver of aid to Afghanistan,
She wasn't talking about Afghanistan but rather other Muslim countries......on such a small point, you've misinterpreted what she said.
and has been long before the war. How many children would there be left, for those alledged schools, if the US didn't bring in food aid. Why not point out that the US also brings in aid, but different types. Isn't it quite possible the difference is how you give something. The US gives money to different aid organizations, such as charities and food banks, who then use the money to buy needed items. Thus the people connect the food with those charities, rather than the US;
Good point.......if that's the reason our good will is so low in the Middle East, then we need to change how we give out aid. That's what Ms. Murray was suggesting.
while OBL goes around personally sometimes and make a big deal about the pittance he gives them.. Sort of like some of the drug dealers did in Harlem so no one reported them to the police. And many of the Arab charitiies are run by OBL so he can skim off money to buy arms. Say, for every $1000 given to the charity, $200 might go to buying aid, and the rest for expenses and buying arms. OBL, just as many charities here do, have a big reason to advertize about their good deeds, so they can get even more donations and OBL can fund more arms.
That's right two can play the same game.....again that's what Sen. Murray was suggesting.
The fact that this woman is too dense to know these things is the problem. She is praising OBL use of charities to fund arms as a good thing for the people of Afghanistan; when in fact it was that type of funding which allowed OBL to destroy TWC, which led to Afghanistan being partially destroyed
If Senator Murray is an idiot, so are you......you were making exactly the same points as she in the above three paragraphs of your post.
So not only did they want to censor Ms. Murray but they slandered her as well by purposely misinterpreting her intent.
How so? I never said what her intent was. The publicist come up with the excuse afterward, that they were trying to get a discussion going, however any discussion participated in by a senator, should revolve around true facts. She purposely mislead the students into believing OBL was just doing charity work without having an ulterior motive.
She didn't no such thing. You are making things up to suit your argument. Its ridiculous.
She purposely misstated that the US and its citizens weren't giving aid to the poor. Mz Murray also on her web site states her reasons why she voted against the Iraq war resolution. Nothing wrong with that. However, I believe she purposely misstated the facts about Us aid, and OBL's purpose for his charitable works, to justify her antiwar stance. In her speech to the students, she says that if the US gave aid to the poor like OBL, then we wouldn't have to go to war, when in fact, she knew OBL was doing his charitable works, for the purpose of collectiong money so he could afford to go to war.
Are you really believing this crap, or do you just like to hear the sound of your own words? None of what you say in the paragraph above is grounded in reality........sorry.
