Continue blaming the Bush administration for an attack on their watch, while finding a way to also blame them (however inaccurate the argument) for not having an attack on their watch. Highlights our differences.

You have to ignore a lot of stuff to remain a Republican zombie these days.

You also forget the Anthrax attacks, which was another attack.

That doesn’t count because the terrorists were only attacking Democratic Congressional leaders the same week that Bush was attempting to push the Patriot Act through Congress.

Oh wait!

The Bush administration had/has more class than to promote their accomplishment of keeping us safe from another attack.

Seriously? You say this with a straight face? First, 9/11 happened on their watch. They couldn’t be bothered with meeting with Richard Clarke who was urgently warning of a grave threat. They ignored the Aug.6 PDF that explicitly stated an attack was looming. You also forget the Anthrax attacks, which was another attack. Or the fact that GWB decided to invade a sovereign nation where the US Forces are under attack to this day. So please spare us all your bs on how classy the Bush Admin is/was.

Also, Romartin, since you and your open-mouthed breathing bretheren on the right seem to think the President, since GWB was always so confused on this and it became his fall back excuse, is supposed to keep us safe, here is the Oath of Office:
“I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.”

The Constitution is the only sacred text of this land. It requires protection and defense, something that was sorely lacking the past 8 years, and sadly, continues. I am hopeful that will change.

The constitution also protects our right to life.

The libs are in power, if they had any standing here it’d be done already.

You do realize we CONVICTED Japanese soldiers for the exact same techniques in WWII.

And we executed them.

Expect our little Nazi troll to studiously ignore this fact.

When you don’t understand exactly what techniques were used to gather information that prevented another attack on American citizens, you make uninformed statements.

I’m defending techniques that Congress approved and provided funding for, which saved American lives. Our President has a duty to American citizens first, not all citizens of the world. He agreed to this when he put his hand on the bible,

If the techniques used were so blatantly wrong, immoral, unethical, unlawful, useless, we’ll see all those you long to be prosecuted in jail.

This will not happen; the left will have to be content with whatever they get out of demonizing their opposition, as usual.

I’ll call BS on you. Sorry, but if there were any further attacks this prevented, you know the Bush Admin would have been promoting that out the wazoo, and McCain, a victim of torture (who btw, when he finally broke, gave the names of the Green Bay Packers offensive line and old mission info), would have been crowing that the Republicans kept us safe. No, you haven’t heard that, since they know it was illegal and they face criminal charges.

Also, your statement “If the techniques used were so blatantly wrong, immoral, unethical, unlawful, useless, we’ll see all those you long to be prosecuted in jail…” is also bs. You do realize we CONVICTED Japanese soldiers for the exact same techniques in WWII. So how far has our world changed in 60 years that you can redefine what constitutes torture?! And please don’t tell me that these “terrorists” are anymore bad ass than the evil we fought in WWII. The fact that now there are a great many Americans who ACCEPT this demonstrates just how far down our moral barometer dropped under the Bush Admin. The fact that every member of Congress is not demanding trials, shows just how complicit they are in violating their oath to the Constitution. Remember, the President does not take an oath to protect the American people. He takes an oath to uphold the Constitution, which if followed, protects our liberties. If not, we end up just like any other country we would be passing moral judgement on for torturing.

International law is well established in this area, and there should be no problem for Bush and Cheney to prove their innocence to the entire world.

By comparing the actions of the Bush administration – interrogation of known terrorists, during ongoing hostilities with the United States initiated by the enemy, with the full knowledge and approval of Congress, in an attempt to fulfill the Presidents sworn duties, while strongly suspecting another attack was being planned and using harsh techniques only after all others had failed – to what the Nazi’s did – is just laughable.

I bet you’d be screaming loudest that enough hadn’t been done by the Bush administration if another attack had occurred.

— Sounds like pornography. Thing is a know both when I see them…
