#IStandWithAhmed

What's next? A hunting trip with Dick Cheney?

 

Kissinger might be in town.

 

He should try to get some hush money from Dennis Hastert while he's at it.

 

Cheney: "That is the whole idea of this machine, you know. Deterrence is the art of producing in the mind of the enemy... the FEAR to attack. And so, because of the automated and irrevocable decision-making process which rules out human meddling, the Doomsday machine is terrifying and simple to understand... and completely credible and convincing."

Ahmed; "It was just a clock."

Cheney: "Oh."

 

I couldn't help reading that with a certain German accent in mind. Well played, sir!

 

Ahmed met the President:



How 'Clock Boy' Ahmed Mohammed wound up at the White House


But, he didn't bring the clock:

We know Ahmed has RSVP’d, but will he come empty handed? Remember what the POTUS tweeted to Ahmed when the whole clock controversy went down?



Well, Obama may be clock blocked! According to Irving PD, Ahmed has yet to make an attempt to pick up his invention! Guess Ahmed's creative clock doesn't come with an alarm.

Ahmed Will Not Take Homemade Clock to White House

 

While folks continue to criticize Ahmed and admire the magical mystery tour remember he would undoubtedly give this all back if he had not been handcuffed and subjected to ridicule for bringing a clock to school. Think about that.

Corollary to people who recover millions!! for having their life wrecked when they suffer unspeakable, disabling injuries. Yep, they'd trade those millions in a heartbeat to have their lives back.

 

I don't believe that for a second.

 

I was just about to say the exact same thing.

 

Horseshit. The more I've learned about this case the more I've come to suspect we've been taken for a ride. And I do not believe for a second that this kid's family (especially his attention-whoring father) wishes all this had never happened.

 

That is certainly unclear, at best, but does nothing to justify the way the kid was treated that day.
