@kyler187

You are right, I am a Constitutional Conservative so that makes me a ''left wing loon" I suppose. You really should analyze with a more open mind what I said because I use to think the exact same thing about us being over their that you do now. Until l realized how flawed my position was. Have a good day sir.

[kyler187]

@rmccay88 Yes doing what typical leftists do, which is blame America for every problem in the world. And claim that we deserve everything we get. And any country that finds us a bigger threat than Iran, are a nation of fucking idiots.

[rmccay88]

@kyler187

What you and other Neoconservatives don't understand is that it is our invasion, occupation and nation building in foreign countries that has jeopardized our safety and makes us more vulnerable for future attacks. You can't occupy other countries and kill tens or hundreds of thousands of people and not expect that to cause hatred around the region and world. When the world views the United States as a bigger threat to world peace than Iran, it is time to change your foreign policy.

[kyler187]

@rmccay88 I think its hillarious to say that I'm fear mongering, when you are spreading fear that our own government is out to get us. And if you believe that the terrorist threat is exaggerated, then take a look at the recent terrorist attacks by radical islam in the past year or so. (Ft hood shooting, underwear bomber, time squar bomber, etc). If you believe that the terrorist threat isn't out there, then you are completely niave.

[rmccay88]

@kyler187

You have been completely sucked in by the fear mongering propaganda of the Neocons. The CIA even admits they drastically exaggerated the extent of more attacks after 9/11. We are facing a real threat, and it's from our own government.

[kyler187]

Shortly after sept 11th 2001, would most American give a rats ass if the terrorists responsible would be waterboarded by our government to get information ensuring our safety? Some people need to wake up, and realize that we're facing a real threat to our safety. They are more concerned about civil liberties to enemy combatants than they are with protecting America.

[threepeice]

No shit asshole it is called sarcasm!

Ever heard of it?

Fucking retarded people responding to 10 month old comments, not only is it out of context and retarded as fuck, you're just plain inept.

[AceofDimonds0]

oh only 3 people?

it doesnt matter how many people are being waterboarded its still wrong

plus only three we know about its not like our government is going to tell us that they are breaking the law.

no waterboarding!

[AceofDimonds0]

by your comment im thinking you didnt vote for obama?

the war in iraq is not obamas fault, and its not like we can just move all of our troops out of iraq.

change thats time, obama has been in office one year. be patient.

[AceofDimonds0]

ya like you were waterboarded just like harended iraqi war criminals, ill believe that. no

and when another country is doing the same thing to us to keep themselves safe, you would be outraged and say they are being unfair.

[AceofDimonds0]

waterboarding may have gotten a lot of needed information and saved alot of lives.

however it is still torture and it is still morally wrong and illegal.

[studentdebts]

Some terrorists only understand torture because that is what Muhammad would have done to you in their place.

[josephortizgarcia]

Well it's crazy how when confronted with truth, you whites ignore what's in your faces. Waterboarding is a crime, yet when we do it, it's okay. Please help me with this logic.

[josephortizgarcia]

I've heard somewhere we executed Japanese soldier for waterboarding our soldier. Is this true?

[ronpaul2008rocks]

Hey, eaglewillfly, if you want to live in a country where citizens cannot complain about government torture, you should move to China or Saudi Arabia or Egypt or someplace like that. You will find many like minded in the government.

[TekLok]

again its still torture, you need to use some logic.

[eaglewillfly]

well said Cherry, well said. Anyone who disagrees with that hasn't studied history and doesn't understand Evil.

[eaglewillfly]

sounds harsh, but i agree with you fashioncraver. if it came down to it, i'd cut someone's balls off before i let them kill Americans. It may fuck with peoples' consciences, but in the grand scheme of things, it's worth it. One terrorist prick is not equal to even one American life.

[eaglewillfly]

again, it's called a POW...and the war aint over. tell me ONE war where POWs were released before the war was over. Oh yeah, you can't. You need to read some history my friend.

[eaglewillfly]

hey fuckass...it's called a POW...the war isn't over. any POW in any war has been kept in custody until the war is over. You cannot tell me that you wouldn't waterboard someone to save even ONE American life. If you wouldn't, you aren't worthy of calling yourself an American. Nobody likes war, or the actions associated with it. But sometimes it is NECESSARY. If you don't agree, you should go take a dive off the Golden Gate...do us all a favor.

[Greywyn7]

Looks like he did.

But you're delusional if you think your choice wouldn't have.

[LiberalshateAmerica]

Greywyn- I thought invading Iraq created more terrorist also? So much for THAT theory huh? obama left the door open to waterboard if HE wants to, obama will not shut down GITMO, obama is sending MORE troops to war, obama is killing civilians. I thought he was for change? Looks like he lied to you.

[Greywyn7]

They already hated us, we're only making them hate us more.

[LiberalshateAmerica]

greywyn7- TELLING EVERYONE we torture them may fuel the fire but I guess they didnt need torture as a excuse when they blew up the USS Cole or the Kobar towers or bombed the American embassys in Africa. 2 bombing on the WTC 3,000 dead American civilans and NO TOURTURE IN SIGHT! Stop with the Taliban talking points, its doesnt work.

[Greywyn7]

Our standards apply to everyone, even dirty ragheads.

Torturing them just fuels the fire.
