The subsequent framing of RobertsonÕs irreligious remarks were 
informative for two reasons; that a man of faith would call for the 
"removal" of a foreign leader is seen as less amoral than the cost 
benefit reasoning behind it. Robertson supported the possibility of 
assassination as a logical way to save U.S. taxpayers the further cost 
of oil exploration and appropriation through military engagement. The 
current administration finds it less damaging placing Robertson on the 
fringe than highlighting a core feature of U.S. foreign policy.
