The State Department's reaction to Robertson was...

[terrya]

"He's a private citizen and his remarks do not reflect the policy of the United States government"

That's it? Wow, that will teach Robertson not to say things like that again.

1. Didn't he add that it was disgraceful?

[jsamuel]

4. they used "inappropriate" like putting your elbows on the table at dinner

[terrya]

5. The same way the White House used the word "inappropriate"

when Falwell and Robertson made their comments about 09/11.

Like it was a social faux pas.

2. Robertson not reflecting the policy of the US Government?

Probably the biggest lie this State Department has ever told

[Fenris]

3. He would like to nuke them.

He said so himself!:7

[RC]

6. Explain to me again how Robertson is a private citizen?

He has his own tv network which he appears on regularly. He is a political activist. He has been a household name for over 20 years.

What gives?

7. he ran for president too, not just a private citizen
