General Says He'll Tone Down Rhetoric

WASHINGTON - A top Pentagon general has said he will tone down his rhetoric after being criticized for casting the war on terror as a religious battle, officials said Friday.

But Defense Department lawyers, public affairs officials and others were meeting Friday to try to figure out whether that would be enough to calm the storm of criticism surrounding Army Lt. Gen. William G. Boykin, who has said the counterterror war is a battle with Satan....

A decorated veteran of foreign campaigns, the three-star general said of a 1993 battle with a Muslim militia leader in Somalia: "I knew that my God was bigger than his. I knew that my God was a real God, and his was an idol."

...Appearing in dress uniform before a religious group in Oregon in June, Boykin said Islamic extremists hate the United States "because we're a Christian nation, because our foundation and our roots are Judeo-Christian. ... And the enemy is a guy named Satan."

1. What a numbnut

It's the same f*cking god, you f*cking blithering idiot disgrace.

2. Yeah he'll tone down the rhetoric but....

still doesn't mean he has changed his mind.

3. It's true that Jesus is somewhat taller than Allah

I believe Allah is 5'11", while Jesus is well over six feet.

And of course if you combine the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, you've got significantly more mass.

4. LOL Allah is the Arabic word for God, like the Spanish word is Dios

The French say Dieu, the Germans Gott

I don't think anyone knows how tall Allah is :))

[AWD]

5. Yes, but

Yes, but Allah has a wicked jump shot from the top of the key. Mohammed is pretty good at rebounding too.

It'd be interesting, considering Jesus' no-look passes.

It would be a great game, as long as Judas doesn't get any game time. He keeps trying to score on his own basket.

The preceeding was all comedic writing. It may not have been funny, but it also wasn't serious.

7. But Yahweh is 11 feet 13 inches and 1740 lbs.

He could KICK both Jesus' and Allah's asses with one satin-clad hand behind his back!

So there!

17. Which idiot was it?

One of those "send me the money you would have spent to feed yourself Alpo" hate-mongers that claim to be "Christian" said he saw a 75 foot tall Jesus.

Was that Swaggert?

Was it before, or after he got busted with the hooker?

12. If I remember my Catholic schooling correctly

There ain't much mass to the Holy Ghost. Not much to watcha call your "Guardian Angel," neither.
I agree with Bozola on the "blithering idiot" comment. There is no God but God. Mohammad and Christ are both his messengers. So are a whole lot of others.

ON EDIT: Huh. Huh huh. I said "Mass."

6. RWers refuse to think.

Even if he does believe in the bullshit he just spewed all over the world (via media) why would he say it. Does he think Jesus would want him to increase tentions and undertones of religious conflict?

idiot!

[Uzybone]

8. God forbid

this moron has any access to nukes.

[Orangeone]

9. I don't think

Somalia is not a good example of how his god is bigger than Allah. Didn't our military get their asses kicked in Somalia?

[CityZen-X]

10. Don't forget V.N.

Let's not forget we got our asses handed to us by 5'2, flip-flop wearing, rice eating, Buddah loving, Viet Cong!

11. General, your god is too small

I'm not a christian, but if one is determined to go that path, this would be a good book to read. Your God Is Too Small by JB Phillips

13. Why can't all these religious fuckheads of whatever faith

just go blow each others shit away in some remote area and leave the rest of the world alone!!

Just put them on a remote island give them guns and let them go at it. Fucking rid the world of their sick, ignorant, vile influence.

Religion is inherently mind numbing and a main reason for war. Where the fuck is all this compassion and turning the other cheek shit?? These religious zip heads are dupes of the corporate predators and I wouldn't give a shit if they get their asses blown off if the taxpayer was footing the bill.

I agree with the poster on this.

16. The New Genesis

In a time when our pResident proclaims himself ordained by God to lead us into battle and that it was God himself who over-rode the will of the voters to install him with a Supreme Court mandated electoral victory, when our Attorney General annoints himself with cooking oil, and a General publicly states that "They hate us because we're a christian nation" and our enemy isn't a man or a nation but "Satan" himself, we need to stop and ask what happened to the second amendment to the constitution.

I have a regular contributor to my web site. She just wrote this: "The New Genesis" http://www.timbuk3.com/genesis.htm
