What a dilemma for conservatives. On the one hand, it was a black op act of state terror against an environmentalist group. The type of things conservatives love.

But on the other hand, it was France that did it. Hmmmm...

As for me, no.

Yeah, state terror sure is real popular among those Republians.  Up there with killing welfare mothers and lynching blacks.

And, no, I don't support this.

Then why do they love Pinochet so much?

OK, if they bombed it within a french port, maybe I could understand. But it was in a Kiwi port and there was no factual evidence it would in anyway affect French operations in the region.

It is a Greenpeace boat. I don't care where they bomb it, as long as it was sunk.

Any boat so horribly named deserved to be sunk.  Unless it was a gay cruise ship or something.

Well, lest we not forget that the University of Hawaii temporarily changed their team name from the "Rainbow Warriors" to simply "Warriors" due to the gays adopting the rainbow as their marker.

That would be evidence for Jake supporting Pinochet. Try again.
