People who follows US politics will understand this....:

" For the first time , i feel proud to be an american"
I can understand that.

/Zing.

Praise God! I did not need to see fatass Michael Moore Bush bash.

mimo2005 · 02-25-2008, 09:12 PM

I just finished watching the documentary.
Best movie/Doc i watched so far this year.
1-Bush,Cheney and Rumsfeld are definitely criminals of war.
2-They showed an old footage of mccain crying, he was one of the first to assert that torture always bring opposite results , better-off to stick with Geneva Convention.
3- They punished and imprisoned US soldiers for following orders ( to torture iraqi/afghans prisonners)

4- The trio maestros behind torture made sure to protect themselves from future prosecution , watch this :

Hmm. All I can say is "war is hell!", "life is not fair", and "All is fair in love and war."

And it is OK for Vets Against McCain to discount the more than one thousand five hundred days in which he was tortured.

**ashumann12** · 02-26-2008, 08:56 AM

Don't get me wrong Bry, I am also a McCain supporter. I really don't like the idea of torture either. I spent alot of time after Desert Storm assisting Iraqi civilians flee Iraq so that the Kuwaiti forces would not capture, torture and kill them. However, there are differences between war time and peace time, and some times alternate interrogation techniques are warranted. Out and out torture, like what McCain had to endure, never has a place anywhere.

BTW: Here is the change that the Dems have in mine (it will be what is left of your paycheck)

Yeh. I hate taxi drivers. A good kicking to find out why they drive so bad is always warrented. And if one should die, 3 will soon come along in his place.

It looks like the formed their site in 1999, in an obvious attempt to thwart him becoming the 43rd president. It then says it was revised 1/14/08, a few weeks before super Tuesday.

All I am asking is why was this unimportant for nine years and will it be important if McCain is not elected?

A lot can change in 8 years. 8 years ago nobody knew who BHO was.

It's called politics for a reason.
