Robertson's going to have a lot of trouble selling that "there are other ways to take out someone" bologna (spelling per Oscar Mayer commercial). 
Those who didn't see his statement and want to can go to about it, click on the video link in the story, hear for yourselves what he said, and decide for yourselves what he meant.

The justice department under Adolf, er, John Ashcroft scooped people up and put them away without a trial for saying less threatening things than Robertson.
The thought that America would hide behind the 9-11 attacks in taking out a two bit Middle Eastern dictator in Iraq has caused the world to shudder, especially when it became quite clear he had nothing to do with 9-11. The pathetic attempts of the Bush administration to defend its invasion hasn't helped the image of the US. Now a religious right wing leader comes along and openly advocates the removal, by whatever means he might have been suggesting, of the elected leader of one of the few stable democracies in Latin America. That's not going to earn Bubdub any favors internationally, it will quite likely contribute to his near-record low job approval rating at home.
The best damage control Bush could do would be to have Robertson arrested and jailed without a trial under the Patriot Act. Some of the negative publicity might go away then. Maybe.
I'm hoping that there are a few more stupid remarks and idiotic policy decisions left in the religious right's leadership and the Bush administration to generate enough votes to put the opposition party back in power in Congress, so they can get along with impeachment proceedings against someone who has actually done something to deserve it.
