http://www.cnn.com/2007/POLITICS/10/...ure/index.html never did care for the guy or his administration, this just goes to show what a piece of garbage he was, is and will continue to be. |
He's probably getting grumpy and bitter in his old age. Yeah, I don't think a former Prez should be saying those things in public, but the man speaks the truth! Hell I don't care if we torture terrorists if it means keeping one of those ass hats from strapping a bomb to their back and blowing up the government building I work in or any other building/subway ect..... I understand my statement can be a slippery slope, but those people are nuts!

Well one thing that i just read that makes me sick is people trying to decipher what we should get paid. There was an article that i just read where someone compared us(military) to a police officer. The article was saying how a police officer starting out at 22k is too little, yet an enlisted service member out of bootcamp is making less than 15k a year. Granted we arent deployed year round(but army is deployed for 14 months at a time) we are deployed for 7 month cycles. The claim was that a police officer risks their life everyday so they should get paid more than military. When we are deployed we make 'hazard pay', imminent danger pay, and a few other SMALL "bonuses", but its no cake walk over here. I'd much rather walk through streets of New York(the articles city of choice) then the streets of Ramadi. This place wears you out mentally, physically, and spiritually. You dont get to see family/friends, shower once a week if your lucky, or sleep in you OWN REAL bed ...sorry ranting...
But the people over here, as far as the terrorists, dont care about us or their own people. There was a female iraqi that went to a post of ours BEGGING us to help her stay alive. Her parents were pressured, by terrorists, to kill their children or they would kill their entire family. The parents had already killed the girls little brother and she was next. Thats the type of influence the 'bad guys' have over here. They have no mercy on us(the beheading videos) nor do they have any of their fellow countrymen. Why should we be so merciful to them if they hold no value towards their own people. |

I believe all iraqis should be held responsible. Untill they decide to get off thier asses and clear out thier own house, i dont see the point in tiptoeing around. Grab a random 50 and behead them. Maybee that will get tghem thinking and they will start turning in thier brothers, sisters, and friends who are involved in the killing of us troops. The only reason Saddam managed to rule that place is cause he diddnt put up with any bullshit. People were too goddamn afraid of him to give him any trouble. Unless they hold the same fear of us, they will continue this and the land will be plagued by terror and anarchy. The insurgents, the terrorists, the bad guys, they will never respect us and behave, unfortunatly america is not the monster saddam was, so they do not fear us either. I believe we should always try to play by the rules first out of respect of our opponent and out of respect for human life, but if they do not play by the rules i think america should roll up its sleeves and get dirty with the full might of the most powerful military force this planet has ever witnessed, and show them exactly how nasty we can be. Maybe if we make saddam look like a pussy we can finally have some god damn peace and quiet. but we wont. so... we gonna be there a long goddamn time. The idea of morality and the "higher standard" is just something to make us feel better about war. The fact is war is messy. war is killing. The more restrictions we place on the military the more bodybags filled with our friends, brothers, sisters, children, we will see. If we fought as they do, with the capability we have, they would never show thier faces again. ill probably get slammed on this one. lol |
its a new world that needs new rules...i am no friend of the jewish state but i have to say that they are on the money in their policy to terrorists :
you blow up anything and we kill your entire blood line that works...so we need to adopt that policy and lets face it...sadaam was the leader for that culture...maybe he raped murdered and pillaged with his fun loving sons but at least his people could walk the streets...then they only had sadaam to worry about...now they have nothing to keep them safe but as for jimmy....yes he is telling the truth...but somethings are classified for a reason |

and for all who think torture is a bad thing ask yourself this:
if a terrorist hides a really nasty bomb somewhere in your hometown and you catch him but not the bomb, what would you do? your wife, girl, boyfriend, mom, sister, brother, dad, whatever is at work in that town and might be sitting on top of it. you politely ask the terrorist where it is as per rules of the geneva convention and he laughs in your face before spitting in it...WHAT WOULD YOU DO? i'd go get a wrench, a spoon, a blowtorch and a bottle of ketchup and find out where he put it..wouldnt you? make no mistake that you wake up in the morning because somewhere out there are men who have to do that every day, and we really dont need an ex president trying to put those men in jail or stop them from doing what they have to |

I get the wrench.... i can even figure out some good ideas with the spoon. The blowtorch sounds great, but WTF is with the bottle of ketchup? |
yeah i was wondering about the ketchup myself...you plan on chopping him up and eating his flesh with some ketchup on it!?

probably traumatize you so much you never eat ketchup again lol.... |
information gained from torture is never reliable. If you think that's ever wrong, let me torture you for a while... you'll tell me lie after lie to get me to stop peeling you like an orange.
