Former President Bush visits Oklahoma for the 4th of July, 2009. John Scripsick, who lost his son in the Iraq war, wrote an op ed piece saying "I wonder what Bush will say in his 40 minutes speech.

Thanks for all the kind words of support and to those who don't agree with John, I hope you never experience the unimaginable pain that comes from the loss of a child. Particularly the unnecessary loss for a cause that should have been avoided.

John your talk will be the shot heard around the world to start bringing Bush and Cheney to justice.

[peaceokie]

Thank you, we hope so.

John, I cannot imagine your loss, nor can I relate to the courage you portray with the message in this video.

Occasional incidents of Patriotism such as yours are proof that our Spirit as a Nation is alive, after all.

Thanks to you, your Fallen Soldier, and your effort to remind us all.

Well said, John! You and all the other parents who lost a loved one in Bush's war have my utmost respect and deepest sympathy.

Hey, do you know why they only bury farmers three feet deep? So they can still get a hand out!!!!!!!!!

[mongration]

good we didn't see you there, George is the man, he helped so many that no one realizes.

Bush rules!! if you don't like 4 dollar a gallon gas then get the fuck out of woodward!!!!

we're not just talking about waterboarding, we're talking about the torture of children that is just coming out (though the gov has known about it for years). google: "President Carter: Many Children Tortured Under Bush"

He has evidence from the International Red Cross, Amnesty International, and the Pentagon itself. This is probably the stuff they don't want you to see in those photos.

So, you can't suck it up for three minutes and listen to him again? If your going to debate this issue, your going to have to do better than "I don't want to listen to him". What are some Al Quada talking points anyway? I'm curious. As for us torturing our special forces, it 's a good idea to show them what they're up against, so they can decide if they want in or not. I bet they're grateful we do it, instead of them being captured and not knowing what they're up against.

I can't even stand to listen to this ASSHOLE! So I can't tell you what he says that sounds like Al queda talking points, I'm sure whatever I said wouldn't matter anyway. We torture our own special forces, so they will know what happens to them if they get caught.

[dalton1220]

As I said before, what does he say that is along the same lines as Al Queda?

[dalton1220]

Ok, I probably can't change what you believe, but I implore you to reasearch waterboarding and torture methods. I also agree with you, being stoned (before death) is a form of physical torture... waiting to be decapitated (before death) is a form of mental torture. If you die from these, it is considered murder.... to me anyway. As for KSM, if he was indeed waterboarded, he was tortured. Look up the physical and mental aspects of waterboarding. And what do you mean we torture our own guys?

[ed2kou1]

If he says the same things as Al Queda does, he's no better then Al Queda.

[dalton1220]

So.... In other words; No you can't provide any evidence.... Or is it; No, you're too lazy to look up the info and give us some credible evidence. I'm curious to see how you think he's an Al Queda sympathizer.
