And heaven forbid we waterboard them.
You have that right. The sanctimonious supposed do-gooders are nothing more than enablers of evil.
It just kills me that all these peacenik meatheads are constantly calling the US the lone torturer of the world, and yet they cannot show one instance where we cut off fingers of prisoners, or, God forbid, cut off heads. Show me anyone who ever died from waterboarding. We don’t line them up and shoot them or feed them into wood chippers. We make sure they get Halal food and have their personal Qur’an and visits from lawyers. But yet, we are the torturers of the world. There is a very real enemy here within the US, and the media is their best friend.
Bingo. While we are debating the international legality (how many countries has Islam & AQ directly attacked killing 3,000 people?!?!) of waterbording, our enemies are building nukes to use against us and cutting off heads and fingers (as the Koran instructs). Let’s all just wait for them to nuke Manhatten or D.C. to figure out if we need to wage war for REAL!
War is ugly, immoral, causes widespread misery on all combatants and civilians alike but one party wins and one loses. If you need to use flamethrowers, and BBQ combatants, do it. If you need to insert painful objects while interrogating an enemy combatant, do it. Remember the grisly pictures of BBQ’d Iraqis hanging out of trucks in Gulf War I? I felt bad for those Iraqi combatants, they didn’t have a chance. But they signed on for service in their country under Saddam. They made their life choices and died early and painfully for it. Survival of the fittest works because it’s programmed in our genes. What doesn’t work is social engineering which is vaporware and in total contrast to survival of the fittest.
