- Bush and Cheney support torture so much, in spite of the fact that every reputable study shows it actually does not work, that the only conclusion one can reach is that they both get some sort of sick sexual pleasure out of the idea of naked young Arabic men being strapped to tables while masked evil torturers whip them, burn them and crush their testicles, for nothing more then the ecstasy of the torturers themselves. Bush and Cheney are clearly homosexual S and M freaks, which I''m sure will come as no surprise to Cheney''s lesbian wife, Bush''s robotic stepford wife or his bought and paid for chocolate mistress slave, Condi Rice. The bunch of them are twisted perverts and nothing else, but they''re torturing us in the process as they act out their sick world domination fantasies.

Bush is deservidly being constantly ridiculed. It''s no accident. He invites ridicule because when it comes to foreign policy, or indeed just being a functional human being, Bush is a laughingstock on the world stage. People do not call him an as*s out of political anger, but rather because that is what he is. He is not fighting terror. He is being manipulated by evil things, such as the war devil on earth Cheney, into slaughtering 100''s of thousands of human beings because he is mentally ill enough to actually think he is on a mission from god and because they will make money from it. Cheney is a money grubbing piece of shi*t war profiteer, while Bush is a deluded mad man. Both of them, if there is a god (and I don''t believe there is anymore) will die torturous deaths soon. - Reply to this comment
- America needs to focus on the REAL terrorists, not on Al-Qaeda wannabee''s and Iraqi''s.
The REAL terrorists are those capable of creating WMD and with some reason to sell or give them to non-state terrorist actors, and the non-state terrorist actors themselves.
Al-Qaeda is a non-state terrorist actor and frankly, given 9-11, should be obliterated (ie, GO into the area between Pakistan and Afghanistan and despite local protest, weed out these people and kill them).
State actors that can provide WMD to terrorist organizations are Iran, N Korea, and, possibly, Russia. Pressure must be kept on these countries to ensure they don''t give in to the $$$ possibility of selling WMD to non-state actors for revenge purposes.
Frankly, I understand why a country like Iran would want Nuclear power for electricity, and Nukes for military, but I would want a clear understanding from the Iranians that selling these to non-state actors like Al-Qaeda would never even be considered.
The difference between state actors and non-state actors is that state-actors actually own land and people that could be conquered (like Iran), which makes them MUCH more vulnerable to international pressure. Non-state actors, like Al-Qaeda, own only an idea, and are free to act out whatever gruesome fantasy meets their ''vision''. - Reply to this comment

Your posts are based on the mistaken presumption that Bush is "fighting terrorists", when in reality nothing could be farther from the truth. 9/11 was committed, if you believe the Government''s own statements, almost completely by Saudis, not Iraqis, or Afghanis, but the house of Saud, and the Bin Laden family are friends of Bush''s family.
Bush is trying to illegally take control of middle eastern oil resources, period. anyone resisting the occupation of their land by Bush is called a terrorist, just like the terrorists Reagan funded in Nicaragua were called "freedom fighters".
The KKK, Aryan Nations, Michigan Militia, and other American ultra right wing groups, also fit the technical definition of terrorist organizations, their actions in the past, present, and the positions taken in their literature are all exactly like the terrorist groups Bush claims to be fighting, in fact there has been contact, cooperation, and financial exchanges between the neo Nazis and the anti Israeli middle eastern groups.
Where is Bush on this? Deafeningly silent... - Reply to this comment

I confess my weakness by stating that your idea is sorely tempting.
But if we do that, then we are no better than they are, So I suggest we settle for Impeachment, trial, and when found guilty, the sanction prescribed by law for each of their crimes.
In the cases where guilt is determined for capital crimes, the punishment should be broadcast, so that future "despot wannabes" will think carefully before acting out their agendas, and so the world can see that we actually do respect the rule of law. - Reply to this comment
- You are free to say the current administration is inept if you want to. Many have said worse. However, no matter what Bush does about fighting terrorists, he is constantly being ridiculed and reviled for those very things he does to try to keep the US from being hit with another 9/11. It will be interesting to see how well the new president handles all this stuff when he or she takes office. Very interesting indeed.

- The chimp in charge says we don''t torture. So he gets the legal definition of torture changed to make things that every civilized nation in the world considers to be torture re-defined as "enhanced interrogation techniques", instead of the torture that it is. Torture should be defined as anything more then what Bush and Cheney would be able to tolerate. I say lets slap the hell out of them and water board them for awhile and then ask them if it''s torture or not. It would only be fair since they''re the most dangerous terrorists in the world today already.

- sandycat2: Then the current U.S. administration must be incredibly inept to release known Al Qaeda operatives so that they come back to fight us another day, instead of bringing them to justice for the victims of 9/11.
Thanks for your very helpful answer. - Reply to this comment
- Most of these Gitmo inmates are Al Qaeda in varying degrees, but had nothing directly to do with 9/11 attack itself except for Khalid Sheik Muhammod. The reason the rest of them are in Gitmo are because they were caught on a battlefield fighting our soldiers without uniforms. We can''t put them in a POW camp cause they aren''t POWs. They don''t wear a uniform or fight for a country. We have to put these people someplace while we are fighting a war against them. We can''t release people like Sheik Muhammed cause they would be back creating another 9/11. We have seen that some have returned to fighting us once they were released. They want to kill us. We shouldn''t release them at all.
