James Clapper: "I didn't lie to Congress, I just didn't understand the question!"

Has china recently taken one of our own captive abd in the process of their detention killed them. And has the chinese leader then denied any knowledge of what was going on?

Ah I see, so you only care if they kill Americans...so if they brutally kill their own then it's ok? Personally, I think both of them are wrong so...

Since Im not likely to write a thesis detailing each and every possible condition that might possibly be imagined as a illogical extension derived from the idea that Trump should not have given un a pass, you can contine to make up silly comments like the one above, but having responded to two so far, i doubt youll get any further response from me.

The fact remains, it was very, very wrong for trump to give him a pass.

Tell us how you think it plays out if Trumps doesn't give him a pass. What are the chances he disarms his nukes? Vs. what are the chances he redoubles his effort to construct a rocket engine that will reach the US.

Cutting your nose of to spite your face is terrible diplomacy. We've given passes lots of times before for more than 1 person's death...it's not right but it might be prudent. Sorry you can't look past your hatred and see that.

Right. Hatred.

As I said, it would be wrong whover did it. The only reason the rest of you are even looking for some possible justification is your rabid allegience to him. Can you name another us president that has ever publically stated he believed a dictator in an instance like this and was not royally chastised for it? Has another president ever actually done such a thing?

When all this started, liberals were hyperventilating and fearmongering about Trump starting World War III. Now they seem almost disappointed that he's not.

And neither does a mistake in custom.

That mistake was made over and over.

[oxmixmudd]

And I'm 'over the top'.

Giving in to a bully is not preserving the peace. Allowing another country to kill your citizens with impunity is not preserving the peace.

yes

That was your opportunity to also back that statement up. I know has directly condemned it (although I don't know if it was in this thread), I've called it wrong for him to do so, so has even though he sees it as realpolitikfor him to have not so.

[Littlejoe]

Right. Hatred.

So..you DON'T hate Trump? You have me confused now.
