For Republicans this:
No acts of terror will ever shake the resolve of this great nation, alter that character, or eclipse the light of the values that we stand for. Today we mourn four more Americans who represent the very best of the United States of America. We will not waver in our commitment to see that justice is done for this terrible act. And make no mistake, justice will be done.
Means approximately the same thing as this -
As a general principle, I am committed to the idea that no acts of terror will ever shake the resolve of this great nation, alter that character, or eclipse the light of the values that we stand for. Today, however, we mourn four more Americans who, while representing the very best of the United States of America, were not killed by terrorists. We will not waver in our commitment to see that justice is done for this terrible act (even though it is an act that does not constitute terrorism). And make no mistake, justice will be done against these non-terrorists.
Hmmmmmm . . . . . that sounds about right. NEXT scandal please!
