Excellent links proving President Bush was right!!!

Which is probably why there are not 100 posts 30 minutes after this thread was put up.

Nice work!

Now if only the Republicans would make a very public noise about it!

Regardless of how compelling the evidence, no one will ever be able to get the libs off their "Bush lied, boys died" mantra. A pathetic lot, one and all.

As conservatives, we have a sworn duty to use all means, short of homicide, to keep these vermin from destroying our country.

I received this in my email today...

The GOP-controlled Senate added an amendment to the $440-billion military spending bill that would extend to spies, terrorists, and Islamic jihadists the same rights U.S. citizens enjoy under the Constitution.

In other words, our military interrogators can no longer question suspected suicide bombers and murderers of women and children without the ACLU looking over their shoulder -- ready to haul some poor enlisted man into court just because he yelled at a terrorist or hurt a terrorist’s feelings.

If the Senate had done such a despicable thing during World War II, the American people would have stormed the Capitol, tarred and feathered all who voted for such treachery, and ridden them out of town on a rail.

This evil, suicidal bill – if implemented – would expose Americans to the greatest danger in the history of our nation: The planting of explosives on our subways. Suicide bombers killing American women and children. Airline hijackings. Assassinations.

Do you realize that not a single terrorist attack has occurred on American soil since 9/11 – despite the dark, dire predictions of the political know-it-alls.

You know why? Because our worldwide intelligence operation has discovered and exposed plot after plot to kill Americans, both abroad and at home.

You may be alive today because some interrogator wasn’t too fastidious about how he got his information from some proud, smirking jihadist.

Can anyone confirm this?

If this is true, we are in worse shape than I imagined, and I'm going to start flying my flag upside down..
the symbol for dire distress..yes it is a Federal Code..

Terrific roundup! Thanks for putting it all together.

[ladyinred]

This is great, thanks. Now if we could only get this info into the NYTimes! :-)

[timydnuc]

The truth means nothing to the leftist, commie bastards. They make up the "truth" as they go along, and so does the MSM. But, the People are seeing through it, and that pi$$es them off.

Thanks, areafiftyone!

The Democraps will allege that they didnt have all the information that Bush had, and that their information wasnt timely, and that only Bush acted, and that he acted without objectively evaluating all the information.

Its specious and inconsistant but its good enough for govt work.

The words “cruel [and] unusual” are taken right out of the 8th Amendment – “Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted” -- thereby conferring on a bunch of terrorists the CONSTITUTIONAL rights of U.S. citizenship.

But “degrading treatment” is a phrase lifted from a document drafted by the United Nations.

Henceforth international terrorists throughout the world have all the rights of accused criminals in the United States. And an additional right – freedom from “degrading treatment” – which comes from the U.N., an organization also known as Hate America International.

We can’t tolerate this surrender to Kofi Annan’s gang, a cowardly act designed to undercut the self-preservation of Americans under international attack.

Let’s Clear Up A Few Things Right Now

We don’t torture prisoners. We don’t blindfold them, threaten them with execution, and televise their pathetic pleas for life.

We don’t condone cruel and unusual punishments. We don’t lop off prisoners’ heads in front of TV cameras or on the world wide web.

With few exceptions, we treat prisoners as humanely as any enemy has ever treated its enemies. Ask the handful of U.S. troops who survived captivity how the terrorists treated them.

Abu-Gharib was the exception -- not the rule -- and mere child's play in comparison to how these terrorists, murderers and thugs treat our people -- or even their own people for that matter.

The only atrocities going on at Guantanamo Bay are the atrocities that these murderers and thugs who are being detained are heaping upon the fine U.S. soldiers assigned to guard them.

We give these terrorists their own Korans, prayer rugs, clean living conditions, indoor plumbing and three square meals a day... many of them NEVER had it so good.

Of course that has not stopped anti-America members of our own media from literally beating up on our brave men and women in uniform -- looking for isolated examples of "abuse" -- and -- in many cases -- simply making them up.

These facts did not stop the liberal Senator from Illinois -- Dick Durbin -- from falsely comparing our brave men and women in uniform to NAZIs.

However... perhaps you now see why our GOP-lead Senate voted for this ghastly amendment?

Simply put, they did not want to be skewered by members of the anti-American press who would have -- without a doubt -- FALSELY reported opposition to this dastardly amendment as support of torture.

And that -- dear FRiends -- is cowardice, pure and simple!

While our troops risk their lives on the battlefield half-way around the world -- these spineless Senators would not even risk a little bad-mouthing from a biased media!

It's so sick... it's disgusting!

McCain’s amendment is a nasty, politically motivated slur on the integrity of our armed forces, and a gross insult to the American people.

What the Senate did two weeks ago must be undone.

Now I'm finished..

Great stuff and links.

....what we are confronting in this spectacle is an unprecedented event in American political life. In the midst of a good war and a noble enterprise, a major American party [the Democrats] is engaged in an effort to stab its own country in the back for short term political gain, and is willing to do to so by the most underhanded and unscrupulous means....
