Now Larry, what's more important, large numbers of American lives? Or moonbats' idiocy and self esteem?Cannonpointer » 29 Jan 2017 9:17 am » wrote: Oh, I see. Let's give the federal government torture powers, for the kids.
So our kids will grow up in a safe country - a free country - a country with limited government. (A government small enough to drown them in a bathtub.)
We HAVE to torture.
We don't want to - we hate it. But we HAVE to.
For the kids.
A government that cannot protect its citizens from mass murder once forewarned does not deserve to be in power.
Waterboarding should not be used on a regular basis, but under conditions like post-9/11 when thanks to Clinton we had almost no intelligence about Al Qaeda and no idea about their capabilities, waterboarding three top terrorists was absolutely justifiable.
Reasonable, thioughtful people like Bob Kerrey and many others worried that Al Qaeda not only was planning more mass murders immediately after, but that they had access to WMD's.
Who would moonbats have blamed had this happened? Bush, with absolutely no self-blame for short circuiting his ability to prevent the attacks.
