Maybe we should just call James Bond or Austin PowersNo...it is not about winningNoYes, he is
He is guilty of giving Bush a free pass on his war crimes. I doubt if Republicans would have been as generous
You wanted to take Bush and his entire family, children and parents, sit them in a formal setting, and shoot them all to death. We know Comrade, we know.
Actually, I wanted Bush to be held accountable for his actions. Regardless od the consequences
I also wanted to see John Yoo waterboarded
Yes, you want a Republican witch hunt. W held accountable, O, not so much...
If you have evidence of Obama authorizing torture, I want him prosecuted also
But we all know you don't
I know you don't grasp obvious points, so I'll explain it to you. I am not referring to W and O, I am referring to you. You assume W is guilty and that is unshakable by any fact. You assume O is innocent, and that is unshakable by any fact.
You and Republicans locked in the fight for the steering wheel are the problem. You only care about your party winning, and will let any number of American citizens and the military die to get it. So you want witch hunts for them and not for yourself. They want the reverse. I would be happy to go after them all if we were going to do that with critical minds and integrity. We won't. You have none, they have none. So it's better for us if we move on until zombies like you are told to shut up and sit down and we're going to do it the right way. That won't happen in your lifetime, don't worry.
As an American, I find torture to be abhorrent. I want anyone who engages in it or authorizes it to be prosecuted, regardless of their party or political standing
Ok.. here's a "scenario" to test your resolve.
Nuclear missile has been launched. The missile is a Mirv with 10 hydrogen bombs. When the bombs go off they will kill every man woman and child along the North East Coast of the United Stated between Boston and Washington DC. We have the terrorist who knows the code to disarm the missile in flight.
You have 10 mins to get the code before the detonations. Do you A) ask him nicely to hand over the code, B) torture him until you get the code, C) Try A for 30 seconds or so then proceed to B.
Sorry....torture is never warranted
EVERYONE who tortures has some type of justification.
He deserves it
It is not torture when "I" do it
I am doing it to save lives
American soldiers have information that if it is revealed would save enemy lives. Do you think our enemies are justified to torture our soldiers if it will save some lives?
