torture can only be performed by a sadist for personal pleasure, the acts labeled torture by professionals for National security is called DUTY. Otherwise all soldiers who kill in the coarse of combat are Murderers. Ah No. Duty Right? Yes. Wake up dumb-asses.

This guy, Marc, is one that was all intangled in the whole mess of 911 and the Clinton/Bush agenda of how the elite want to run and control the World. He was one who wrote those speechs for Bush concerning 911. It is no wonder he was on Fox news this a.m. slamming Ron Paul ever way he could concerning foreign policy. We need out of the U.N. and stop trying to use a military/industrial complex to run the World that only a few, the super rich, ultra-elite benefit from. RON PAUL 2012!

Did you listen to what this JACKASS said? "after 9/11,in the Bush administration we went 2,688 days without another terrorist attack"- I guess he doesn't consider the roadside bombings in Iraq to be "terrorist attacks". Maybe he doesn't realize that we were able to slow the attacks here, because our soldiers overseas were an easier target for the "terrorists". This guy got his ass handed to him by Jon Stewart for christ's sake! Marc Thiessen is a joke!

WAR???

You mean Occupation, right????

It took the US half this time to topple the Nazis...

...this is not an American war, but a Corporate, Government-backed OCCUPATION.

Thiessen is a professional dissembler.

Every time he open his mouth, more republicans bite the dust.

I can't wait till they finish destroying themselves.

They believe their own lies.

You should read Mark Theissns book, you might learn something instead of making foolish comments that get marked as spam. British & American Intelligence believed Iraq had WDM's all the newspapers as well, even The New York Times reported it on the cover page. You are probably one of those people who believe that Guantanamo Bay Terrorist Camp is a recruiting tool for other terrorists, ha! Well, we had many terrorist attacks before Gitmo Terrorist Camp even existed, whats your reasoning now?
