I love it when the left eats its own. Actually Brian Williams' remarks were insensitive from either a left wing, a right wing and also purely military combat veteran's point of view. No wonder this clown is off of the NBC Nightly News.

And Hillary is also sabre rattling against the Russians these days, calling for a strike on Syrian airfields, perhaps starting leading to a warlike footing against Russia. http://www.wjbdradio.com/politics/2017/04/06/hillary-clinton-calls-for-strikes-against-syrian-airfields She did that realizing that they not only won't draft her but they also won't draft Chelsea or even Bill. Maybe Hillary hopes they'll draft Ivanka...just saying...

NEW YORK — Brian Williams is facing online criticism for waxing poetic about what he called "beautiful pictures" of U.S. missiles launching during an attack on a Syrian air base.
Video released by the military shows Tomahawk missiles targeted for a Syrian airfield launching from the decks of U.S. warships in the Mediterranean Sea on Thursday.

During his MSNBC program, "The 11th Hour," late Thursday night, Williams said the "beautiful pictures at night" tempted him to quote a line from a Leonard Cohen song: "I am guided by the beauty of our weapons." He went on to call the images "beautiful pictures of fearsome armaments."

Williams was quickly mocked and criticized on Twitter for the remarks, with some users suggesting they were insensitive to the realities of war.
MSNBC didn't immediately respond to a request for comment Friday.

END

Actually, Brian Williams should have quoted Leonard Cohen's song "There is a War" - and these verses from the chorus:

Why don't you come on back to the war, don't be a tourist,
Why don't you come on back to the war, before it hurts us,
Why don't you come on back to the war, let's all get nervous.
