I think you vastly mis-read what grumpygresh actually said.

Firings?

I’m holding out for firing squads.

Individual patriotic Germans probably did. But by that point their decisions was irrelevant.

Since before he was elected, actually. He tried to use police(!) against any broadcaster critical of him, and I think he actually managed to do so.

Iranian fire.

Can’t you see that flash of fire
10 times brighter than the day
And behold a mighty city
Broken in the dust again

Hence our point about dissent.

Individual Americans ARE dissenting right now.

Shall we wait till it’s too late like the Germans did?

I think, thanks to our government's malignant inaction, Iran will be capable firing all of Washington in a single go in a month or so.

The only thing that bothers me about that, is that it's really our job, not theirs.

Yes. Overthrowing Hitler was Germany’s job.

I would argue to the NSA that it wasn’t American citizens or businesses that attacked us on 9/11 but Muslims instead.
Their spying on us and muzzling reporters does nothing yo prevent another 9/11.
Unless they truly believe certain fringe conspiracy theories put forth by the toe sniffers that 9/11 was done by “businessmen” or some such.

Pretending that the press said something that it didn't doesn't make Alexander look trustworthy. It makes it look like he's lying.
The guy works for the government and his lips were moving. Obviously he was lying.

Alexander would do better just to say "FYTW" and leave it at that.

Yes. Overthrowing Hitler was Germany’s job.

Yes. Actually, ridding the earth of that evil man and his cronies was a job of the German people. Unfortunately, we had to end up doing it for them, the same way that the Iranians, or someone similar will do our job for us.

Aye, and it’s looking like someone else is going to have to do it for us as well. *sigh*

> In an interview with the Defense Department’s “Armed With Science” blog , it appears that Alexander felt he’d have a friendly audience, so he let loose with some insane claims, including suggesting that the government needs to find a way to “stop” journalists from reporting on the Snowden leaks...
