Pete Hegseth made a comparison that hadn’t crossed my mind. He said: “These narco-terrorists are the al-Qaida of our hemisphere.”
I remember al-Qaida promoting itself with videos of themselves cutting off people’s heads. If the so-called ’narco-terrorists’ in the boats have been doing anything like that, I guess I’ve missed it.
But sadly, very sadly, I have seen the videos released by the United States government of boats with people being blown up. … No valid declaration of war, no criminal charges, no judge, no jury. Just videos released, glorifying the killing.
I would never have considered the comparison without Secretary Hegseth. Aren’t the U.S. government videos more like the al-Qaeda videos than anything from the people in the boats?
Shame on my government. Exercising my right to speech.
