Today, Scotty McClellan said this in response to a question about the accidental bombing of civilians in Pakistan.
We are engaged in a war on terrorism against a deadly and determined enemy, an enemy that continues to target innocent civilians. In this war, we go out of our way to target the enemy, to target the terrorists, those who want to do harm to innocent civilians in Pakistan, in that region, in the United States. We work very hard to minimize the loss of civilians. And we go out of our way to minimize civilian loss.
The enemy, as I said, targets innocent civilians. That's the difference. They target innocent civilians. We help innocent civilians. That's what we've been doing in Pakistan through our relief and reconstruction support in the aftermath of the earthquakes, and that's what we will continue to do. So I think our views are very clear, and our philosophy and principles are very clear, too. And they stand in stark contrast to the terrorists, the al Qaeda people that are operating in that region that want to harm innocent people in Pakistan, that want to harm innocent people in the United States.
http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2006/01/20060117-3.htmlSince neither of you plan to stop killing civilians and each claim some whacked out ideology as a justification, the only difference between you and the terrorists is that when the terrorist kill civilians with bombs, they don't feel bad about it? That's the stark contrast? Send all the roses you want buddy, that don't erase the fact that you're a wife-beater.
