He makes me sick... I'd love to get his a** on a interrogation waterboard...:nope:

Oh well, this only means that we will see less "OMG OMG OMG AL QAIDA JUST TORTURED OUR SOLDIERS" threads here, because America just lost it's right to condemn torture by allowing it.

Now, let's not start nit-picking. ;) Just ignore that line.

That is a tidy way of putting it.

Well one thing is for sure. George W Bush's place in history is established.

This was a bad decision.

Allow me to add the obligatory <AOL>Me Too!</AOL> to that statement.
Bush can't have things both ways. If it's wrong for other, third-world countries to resort to torture of another country's soldiers, then it's wrong for everyone. Can't use a case of "Oh, we know how much to torture and we know when to stop." crap. If its wrong for one, it's wrong for everyone. Sorry, Bush, you can't be selective in who can and cannot torture people.:shifty:

Pilots normally have to attend SERE school and they do that kind of stuff there.

Are we there yet?

DeepIron 03-10-08 04:37 PM

:lol: I wish we were D! However, somewhere I read a quote from Dubb-Ya that he's going to sprint all the way to the finish line... :damn:

Where he'll hand the Presidential baton to yet another elected idiot...:damn:
