John Bolton: Torture and Extreme Rendition whatever that is

When asked about Water Boarding, torture and Extreme Rendition President Bush's Ambassador to the UN (2005--06) says he hasn't given much thought to the matters and therefore can't comment on it.

The thing about Bolton, like Rumsfeld, is that he's not dumb. Bush is dumb. Bolton and Rumsfeld are simply assholes.

"Yeah, we're in Wales."

I wonder if the interviewer EVER considered how utterly hypocritical those contemptuous words were in light of his ridiculous pressure on Bolton about the two issues that are JUST as irrelevant to Wales as the health care system.

[mikentosh]

This interviewer sounds like he enjoys extreme renditions up his ass....fuckin liberal pillow-biter....

[MrBullfrog9876]

Torture is barberic and is against the law in the USA and internation law ..... doesn't take a laywer and years of study to figure that out.

Ron Paul 2012!

Read Bolton's new book...

What it's Like to be Owned by the Military Industrial Complex.

[MrFangole]

It takes the UK and its hypocrites to talk about torture. Just maybe the UK fucktards should take a good look at their own history before taking the high road.

@BludBaut Don't tell me how to live my life. You're favouring videos on Obama being born in Kenya but you criticise me for questioning Bush's war policy and how people may have actually died without a good enough reason? What gives you more rights than me?

[BludBaut]

@JakCei You're living for the wrong reasons. How foolish of you, at your young and ignorant age, to think yourself qualified to examine the reasons people die. Dying is inevitable. Therefore, shouldn't you be giving significant thought to what you're supposed to be doing, since it's already obvious that life is transient?

Let me say it another way. You're judging national leaders where you have ZERO influence. Try judging yourself.

No, it's not. It's a hallmark of presumptuous arrogant rebels.

[JakCei]

@BludBaut Even if human beings may have died for completely the wrong reasons? Even if people volunteer to defend America and not die fighting for an elite tyranny? An unexamined life is not worth living. Isn't it a hallmark of American tradition to question one's government and hold them to account?

[BludBaut]

@JakCei In America, we have an all volunteer army, which means, by implication, that all who died, died believing in what they were doing. Those who criticize the Allied foreign policy for the deaths of the soldiers are, in effect, spitting in the wind.

One needs to be very careful whom one chooses to hear. Many people are angry and bitter because they think the wrong thoughts and listen to the wrong people.

A critical life is a wrong life.

[BludBaut]

@JakCei I hope ALL those soldiers who died (whether Welsh or otherwise) were conscientiously committed to their responsibilities and duties. It's a tragedy to die for a cause in which one does not believe. If so, then your opinion is irrelevant. If not, they should have dealt with it before they got in harm's way.

I shake my head at the presumptuous, without the intellect, authority or influence, who clamor to be heard, when in the final analysis, they're nothing but rabble-rousers.

[JakCei]

@911dispatcher Welsh soldiers have died thanks to American and British foreign policy.
