Reporter: What was your understanding of what he meant when he said the civilization is going to be eliminated?
Leavitt: It was not an empty threat by any means. The insinuation by anyone in this room that Iran somehow has the moral high ground over the United States of America is insulting

(452 posts)And I don't think she knows what moral high ground means. She's the one whose insinuating. Emphasizing that threatening to eliminate millions of people wasn't an idle threat doesn't help. It's immoral no matter who threatens it. No one should have that power. No one.
So spell it out lady. He's threatening to kill millions of people. Say it. Out loud. Mass murder, courtesy of the US. Own it, you monster.
Also, you are always insulting. Always. So don't point fingers.
