Isn't the fact that Osama is STILL free a repudiation of the effectiveness of TORTURE!
Edited on Thu May-24-07 09:10 PM by Vinnie From Indy
One would think that after four plus years of us waterboarding, sleep deprivation etc. etc. etc. Osama would have been caught by now. It seems clear that Bush either doesn't want to catch Osama but wants to torture people OR Osama is really dead and he wants to torture people OR, lastly, torture is a dismal failure and Bush still wants to torture people. Those are the only logical choices as I see it. In the end, Bush simply wants to torture people.

1. Bush uses him as a fear tactic to keep those 28 percent in line.

2. It's a repudiation of torture...
the Iraq war, the war on terror, mission accomplished, wanted dead or alive, we have to fight them over there so we don't fight them over here, pretty much everything that * has been telling us since 9/11.

6. Don't forget, "bin-Laden is no longer a priority"...
strange to say the least, since he was/is the primary reason for going to war in the first place.

7. Yeah, it seems like only yesterday...
that * said he didn't care where Bin Laden was. Good thing the liberal media is calling him on that one. :sarcasm:

4. Can't argue with that logic.
But I'm sure Fox News can come up with some rationale that makes no sense at all.

It's their job.
