I can’t help but think that Pat Robertson is digging a deeper hole. It sure seems to me like his recent denials are simple false. Some might call it lying.
The “clarification:”
“I said our special forces could take him out. Take him out could be a number of things including kidnapping,”
What he said originally:
If he thinks we’re trying to assassinate him, I think that we really ought to go ahead and do it.
We have the ability to take him out, and I think the time has come that we exercise that ability.
Kidnapping him. Right. Whether or not you agree with Mr. Robertson that Chavez should be taken out or assassinated, Pat is digging himself into a hole denying something which so obviously is what he said.
