Binks Slams Jordan - He’s so Burned!

Jordan, I must tell you, I feel as though you’re quite possibly being presumptuous in your most recent stance.

BURN!!!!!!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!  I SO got you!  BAM!  Take that shit!

What?  Seems a little extreme for a comment like that?

Check this out then, under the headline from an NBC affiliate, ”US Slams Canada in alleged torture case

The first paragraph?

The U-S Ambassador to Canada says the Canadian government is being a “little presumptuous” in a case involving a Syrian-born Canadian who said he was tortured after the U-S sent him to Syria.

Damn… I feel so shamed… We’ve sooo been “slammed”.  Let’s put poo in a bag in front of the US’s door and light it on fire to get back at them!

Seriously, what is this, grade school?  We’ve been “Slammed” by the US… because they said no to something we asked for?  I thought that was how politics were supposed to work… Group A proposes resolution X, Group B says no, eventually they find a proposal that is mutually acceptable.

OR, if no solution is found, you draw attention to the issue and try and make the other group look like a jackass.  I think that’s what’s happening here - Canada’s said, “I’m sorry, we made a mistake, you’re not a terrorist.  US, our trusted ally, please take this man off your ‘likely terrorist’ list, the info we gave you was wrong” and then the US said, “No”.  Now, the US is in the unenviable position of having to justify why this guy is a terrorist; they can’t just pass the buck back to Canada and say, “Those crafty Canadians said so, and we believed them”.
