1. i watched that, thought williams had dropped acid or some kind of hallucinogenic

[Zoonart]

2. The Breaking Brilliance of Brian Williams...

legend in his own mind. Leonard Cohen is spinning in his grave. The great poet quoted by the great pretender. Sick indeed.

[MuseRider]

3. WTF?

Did he get a tingle up his leg? What is wrong with people? That is something you might say for fireworks but not for something that could blow people and property (not ours) to bits.

What did they hit? Hopefully not more "beautiful children".

[get the red out]

4. War gets this reaction in too many people

I guess because it is on TV, and people can't seem to grasp the reality.

[JaneQPublic]

5. He should've quoted Robert E. Lee.

"It is well that war is so terrible, otherwise we should grow too fond of it."

[Dave Starsky]

6. Robert E. Lee was a dope-smoking earth hippie peacenik.

Reminds me of that quote from that other pinko war coward, Dwight Eisenhower:

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron."

9. Both great quotes

Sure it's fun to shoot artillery, but so what

Nobody goes on and on like Williams, it's not cool

[malaise]

7. Six dead Syrians don't count

[L. Coyote]

8. We can investigate whose chemical weapons they were later, we have bombs to sell today.

[Idoru]

10. Why did he come in and take over from Rachel when the news broke

Like this is a "man's job", step aside, silly woman. We will keep you around for "commentary". The fuck??

[LexVegas]

11. Brian Williams personally guided those weapons to their targets last night. nt

[jeanmarc]

12. He was almost as close to the Falklands War as he was for this sideshow

Brian Williams is a complete jerk.

Hitting some depots with Sarin gas might have seemed to be a good thing, but no chance. It would have made us just as monsterous.

[Hekate]

13. Brian Williams often imagines he is reciting poetry. In reality he is oozing smarm.

I enjoy his guests, Nicole Wallace, Steve Schmidt, and the rest. Williams himself, not so much.

[BSdetect]

14. He's a dick.

[Iggo]

15. Brian Williams is a lying sack of shit. (n/t)

[ecstatic]

16. I didn't see that part, but BW seemed disgusted by the whole thing

And suspicious of the timing, motive, etc. He phrased his questions in a way to hint that the strikes were political theater. At least when I saw him on Rachel. He never comes out and says exactly how he feels without dressing it up in similes/sarcasm/irony, etc, which is easily misinterpreted. I'm not a fan of his, but I've grown to understand his style more over the past year.
