THE BEST COMEBACK LINE for 2007...

For those that don't know him, Major General Peter Cosgrove is an
"Australian treasure!"
General Cosgrove was interviewed on the radio recently. You'll love
his reply to the lady who interviewed him concerning guns and
children.
Regardless of how you feel about gun laws you gotta love this! This
is one of the best comeback lines of all time. It is a portion of
an 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.

You can't argue with that logic.

I've read variants of this where the General was a US Navy Admiral and a US Marine General.

I've heard this before. I think it was a USMC's General.
