The God I Believe In Doesn't Kill Presidents, Mister

He was misunderstood, the poor bastard. There is, after all, a lot of ambiguity in this direct quote:
"If he thinks we're trying to assassinate him, I think we really ought to go ahead and do it. It's a whole lot cheaper than starting a war."

It really could mean anything. Damn liberal press, always assuming "assassinate" means "kill."

God bless you Mr. Pat.
