Hannibal, B.A., Face, and Murdock have company

Richard Armitage is at it again. Demonstrating a profound knowledge of 1980's pop TV culture, he recently said "Hezbollah made the A-team of terrorists, maybe al Qaeda is actually the B-team," at a luncheon speech. He also said, quote, "We're going to go after them just like a high school wrestler goes after opponents, we're going to take them down one at a time".

So let me get this straight: Hezbollah is a bunch of hired mercenaries, wanted by the government for a crime they didn't commit, and we're sending Colonel Decker after them. Someone please inform Mr. Armitage that he might not want to compare 80s TV heroes (who were innocent) to real-life terrorists (who are guilty).
