[QUOTE=Swilly;25884418]He messed up, at least he admits it.[/QUOTE] going into a war with a country to gain oil and fucking up the US in general is a tad bit worse than Clinton having an affair
[QUOTE=JerryK;25884767]going into a war with a country to gain oil and fucking up the US in general is a tad bit worse than Clinton having an affair[/QUOTE] Actually, you can't blame him for most of those things...its up to the Senate and House to allow most of the shit he fucked up on. So in reality...blame them.
and the senate and house were part of the Bush Administration besides it's much easier to just blame the president :v:
[QUOTE=Zareox7;25881181]Torture will just cause the victim to tell you what you want to hear. It could be the truth, it could not be. It's a very inefficient way to get information.[/QUOTE] Also with other countries, if we torture their soldiers, what's there to stop them from torturing our soldiers.

Faking drowning is a helluva lot better than what al Qaeda and the Taliban does to their POWs...
Probably necessary, but King Bush the II didn't seem to hesitate and try another method first.
Sorry, can't take that post seriously with you calling him a King...
[QUOTE=Lick;25884999]Also with other countries, if we torture their soldiers, what's there to stop them from torturing our soldiers.[/QUOTE] Who says they don't.
itt: people who have never been waterboarded
[QUOTE=Jim_Riley;25882123]I kinda admire the fact that Bush was capable of following through with some of the most difficult of decisions and accept the reprecussions that followed without too much resolve. He was quite determined It's almost a direct contrast to how things are apparently working out with our current president. Don't really know if that's a good or bad thing though. Goes both ways I guess. I actually want to read this book now. ...Each to their own, I don't need to be torn apart cause I generally disagree with the label on Bush from the masses here.[/QUOTE] I think his cabinet was far worse than the man himself.

[QUOTE=skynrdfan2;25885522]itt: people who have never been waterboarded[/QUOTE] Something that causes minimal damage, but horrifying at the current time, or....

ITT people who think real life is like 24

I mean these were used when people thought flies spontaneously arose from mud.
[QUOTE=Lambeth;25885702]I don't see how this is relevant. I mean these were used when people thought flies spontaneously arose from mud.[/QUOTE] People have always felt pain...
[QUOTE=Sottalytober;25885905]People have always felt pain...[/QUOTE] thank you for pointing that out captain obvious
[QUOTE=TH89;25885611]ITT people who think real life is like 24[/QUOTE] You mean every point in an elaborate terrorist plot takes place about 5 minutes drive apart? Or that torture is totally no big deal?
[QUOTE=Lambeth;25885922]thank you for pointing that out captain obvious[/QUOTE] You're saying that just because people didn't understand how the world worked around them, that the torture devices didn't cause pain. Least that's how I read it.
If I was going to be tortured, I would just tell them info right off, then I wont get tortured, nothing is really worth getting tortured.

[QUOTE=podthegod;25884659]why is bush still alive?[/QUOTE] because he wants to be and I bet if you walked up to him and asked him that he'd punch you right in the face and keep on walkin
[QUOTE=Carne;25880778]Glad I live in Europe, where we don't have to result in torture to get information.[/QUOTE] I wouldn't be so sure. Just because we don't make it public (be it a mistake or not) doesn't mean there isn't.
[QUOTE=JerryK;25884912]and the senate and house were part of the Bush Administration besides it's much easier to just blame the president :v:[/QUOTE] Bush lost the house in 2006 so you could say, blame democrats not Bush for what happened after that.
[QUOTE=Ridge;25885339]Faking drowning is a helluva lot better than what al Qaeda and the Taliban does to their POWs...[/QUOTE] what's your point? they're both wrong
what a fucking badass
Basic USA.
[QUOTE=Leon Trotsky;25891511]what's your point? they're both wrong[/QUOTE] So was the Gulag :smug:
