I Don't Care If They Broke His Arms & Legs! Congressman Burton

[Lynx787]

When the torture controversy first broke out a poll by the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life revealed that the more often Americans go to a Christian church, the more likely they are to support the torture of others. It's therefore no surprise to learn that Burton is a proud "born-again christian" who supports torture and doesn't give a fuck about non-christian rights.

I'm sorry to hear that the S.E.A.L.'s acting in this way. Not an honorable way to handle a prisoner, no matter what the crime. Brutality seems to be creeping into our very fabric and if not checked, will eventually lead to our downfall as a people.

I wonder how Americans would react if foreign troops began busting down their doors..

[estermoffat]

@marcusyizong We are the land of the free for a reason: we don't roll over and tolerate that shit and rely on foreign countries to fight our battles for us. How does your country respond?

[mufflejoy]

@estermoffat Perhaps a land of the free can only be one that abides by the rule of law (including international law and protocols of armed engagement) .... and sets that example.

whats the point in beating the shit out of them once we got them, point is that we got them, try/convict/execute do we really need to see the torture photos to know to do the lawful thing. sorry cowboy Burton. I prefer justice over torture or even prefer killing over torture. because 2 are legal one isn't. its a matter of proof/evidence don't be killing the wrong guy, if its a fact shoot them in the fucking head

[Bunnicula71]

I love how he characterized the contractors killed as "US Soldiers". Sorry dude, they were MERCENARIES. 4 dudes? How about the 100K (at least) women and children directly killed by the USA in Iraq for no fucking reason?

If you take this chumps words to their logical conclusion, war crimes, torture, whatever, is perfectly ok.

We are supposed to be the good guys, even in the worst of circumstances. That's what makes our flag worth saluting, and our nation worth protecting.

I think Rep. Dan Burton of Indiana is a great guy for speaking up for the S.E.A.L.s and in the way which he did that.

[Angrysean8]

I think your right

[exacerbatedtaboo]

yes isn't it great how he suggested we ought to lower ourselves to Al Qaeda's level? Isn't it great how he endorses torture like he does? I'm so thankful we have people like him in office that is so obviously thirsty for blood. We're supposed to be a better nation and a better people then Al Qaeda. We're supposed to abide by the genva conventions unlike Al Qaeda. We're supposed to adhere to international law and not commit human rights violations unlike Al Qaeda.

I'm a warrior, not a talker.

[exacerbatedtaboo]

I could say so much.

[huskerbird1]

when you dont buy te story yiou cant buy the reaswon for torture

[imbubba56]

Congressman Burton is spot on. You never win a war by being polite.

[callouschristian]

I see the (R) in front of the name then all I can hear is blah, blah, blah.....of course I wouldn't mind if he'd clean the corp. cum out of his throat.

[photrick]

Just because he has an (R) doesnt mean you should immediately dismiss what he has to say. Besides he was defending our soldiers. I dont care if he is a Republican you should always give respect to our US soldiers. Not to mention they are NAVY SEALS.

[callouschristian]

Sending more troops to be fodder for bush's illegal games is not 'defending our soldiers'. I'm not sure how anything he says or does reflects "defending our soldiers" and I would say all republicans have done just the opposite by backing bush/cheney and now taking further steps to destroy my nation. I stand by my feelings on people who have (R) preceding their names.

[mynameisbobtoo]

Congressman Burton, we did do "whatever was necessary" it was called Adu Garahib, it was called Gitmo it was called the massacre in the dessert...in other words Congressman it was called a war crime. Why are you asking the soldiers to violate the conventions you and your fellow congressmen signed? Why is the law today no good when it works against your grand standing and ok when we want to hold others accountable?

[imbubba56]

yournameisloserbob: I believe you got your discharge due to "don't ask, don't tell. You are a typical worthless pussy boy that was never really in the shit. You probably fell off the toilet puffing on a peter to get your disability.

[Garlannd]

Inb4 Halycon's insane anti-jew ramblings.

[mynameisbobtoo]

[Garlannd]
