Robertson to Special Forces: Take Chavez Out — To Dinner

Kerry Howley | August 24, 2005

By assassination, Radical Cleric Pat Robertson didn't mean that kind of assassination. CNN reports:

"I didn't say 'assassination.'I said our special forces should 'take him out.' And 'take him out' can be a number of things, including kidnapping; there are a number of ways to take out a dictator from power besides killing him."

CNN continues to report:

"If he thinks we're trying to assassinate him, I think we really ought to go ahead and do it," said Robertson on Monday's program. "It's a whole lot cheaper than starting a war."
