Seems everyone's favorite Christo-Fascist lieutenant general Billy (Ah Loves me some Jeee-zus) Boykin has issued a half-assed apology for actions he knew he should not be participatiing in to begin with.
Boykin claims that the statements he made to a captive Osman Otto dealt with idolatry. Here's the rationale of a three-star general:
"I am not anti-Islam or any other religion," Boykin said. "I support the free exercise of all religions. For those who have been offended by my statements, I offer a sincere apology."
...
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." After the man was captured, Boykin said he told the man, "You underestimated our God."
Boykin's statement said that comment was misinterpreted.
"My comments to Osman Otto in Mogadishu were not referencing his worship of Allah but his worship of money and power; idolatry," Boykin said. "He was a corrupt man, not a follower of Islam."
So, WWBS say about Dear Unelected Leader? Seems that the 1600 Crew has much the same ideals as Osman Otto: a corrupt(ing?) desire for money and power; seems to fit the good generals definition of Idolatry to me.
I'm kind of liking that...should we sent questions to the Idolatry Division, 1600 Crew in the future?
