Big Bob Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 It is a portion of ABC interview between a female broadcaster and General Cosgrove who was about to sponsor a Boy Scout Troop visiting his military headquarters. FEMALE INTERVIEWER: So, General Cosgrove, what things are you going to teach these young boys when they visit your base? GENERAL COSGROVE: We're going to teach them climbing, canoeing, archery, and shooting. FEMALE INTERVIEWER: Shooting! That's a bit irresponsible, isn't it? GENERAL COSGROVE: I don't see why, they'll be properly supervised on the rifle range. FEMALE INTERVIEWER: Don't you admit that this is a terribly dangerous activity to be teaching children? GENERAL COSGROVE: I don't see how. We will be teaching them proper rifle discipline before they even touch a firearm. FEMALE INTERVIEWER: But you're equipping them to become violent killers. GENERAL COSGROVE: Well, Ma'am, you're equipped to be a prostitute, but you're not one, are you? The radio went silent and the interview ended.

zen801 Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 Go General Cosgrove!!!! Always knew there was a reason why i liked him. I have been interviewed a few times on radio and they tried relentlessly to trap me and blame me for something i wasnt responsible for. I built the One Tel sign at North Sydney and left it there after the collapse. I didnt get paid for it and almost lost my company. You gotta be good when the media is on yr case.

silverbike Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 Yes, it was a good comeback, but the interview is not recent. It has been doing the rounds in the SSAA for a long time now. Did I mention I shoot? Funny, I dont think I'm a violent sociopathic killer.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
