I have my differences with Presisdent Bush.

But if anybody comes after him because of this, they will have at least THIS angry American standing against them.

*Miss me yet?*

Yep. Even if ALL the bad things the Left said about him were true, he would still be at least 100 times the President that 0bama is.

It’s amazing how many people are worried about these terrorists’ feelings, but these terrorists wouldn’t even think once about sawing our heads off with a dull blade.

Ain’t that the sad truth!

Someone should tell Obama when he pees down our necks and tries to tell us it’s just rain, that’s about like waterboarding.

It saddens me that Americans simply don’t grasp the concept that there are people in the world who want to do us great harm. They want to saw off our heads with dull knives, blow up our children and destroy our country.

If this method saved just one American it was worth it and the right thing to do.

Don’t believe me? Ask Daniel Pearl.

If Bush is ever prosecuted for approving coercive interrogation techniques for use against the terrorist mastermind of 9/11, it's revolution time.

I know it’s about waterboarding but I would much rather see a rope around that nazi *itch’s neck.
