WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama says in the immediate aftermath of 9/11, the United States did things that were wrong and crossed the line. He says, quote, "we tortured some folks."

Obama is commenting on a Senate investigation into the CIA's interrogation techniques. A report on that investigation's results is expected to be released in the coming weeks.

Let's pose a simple question to Obama and the White House staff and the Obama press:

Would you rather (A) undergo waterboarding or (B) be blown up by a drone?

Obama just blows 'em up because he doesn't want to bother with the problems of dealing with irregular POW's. Ironically, Bush was in SOME ways softer on the enemy than Obama.

Wasn’t one of these “folks” the guy who beheaded Daniel Pearl?

[Williams]

No, he is digging our grave. He doesn’t care he’s a complete committed leftist.

[Smedley]

So much better to just kill them without due process

[FamiliarFace]

Good Lord!

According to Obama and like-minded individuals, terrorists are folks. Yet, Lois Lerner has no problem calling conservative folks “terrorists”.

I must say this at least once a day, but we’re so screwed. So very screwed. (shaking my head)

Does he ALWAYS have to speak like Brer Rabbit when giving remarks on a serious topic?

[rdcbn]

Oh, yeah -we are going to be dealing with chaos and destruction thus guy has wrought for at least the next generation.

Americans have become irrational spoiled children who gave manufactured a fantasy world where you do whatever you want and there is always a happy ending.

There will be very few happy endings in Obamaville

Invest in guillotines. Ya ain’t seen nothing yet. Tyrants gotta go.

“We tortured some folks...”

Progressives torture lots of folks every day with their irresponsible and stupid rhetoric.

IMHO

[Balata]

I wonder what information Obama would give up if he were waterboarded?

[Marathoner]

Yep, and the stupid son of a bitch has been torturing all of us for the past six years.

[manc]

Lets not forget the liberal childish all about me attitude which they have.

[TigersEye]

Given a choice between being waterboarded and listening to 0bama speak I’d take waterboarding 10 times out of 10.

[Veto!]

Obama is torturing 319 million Americans by being the most idiotic, weakest, most “inappropriate” (to use a libtard weasel word) POTUS in history. Every day it’s another OMG, when will it end?

How many days left? We should have a countdown thread.

[Veto!]

I say we waterboard Baraq after he’s impeached and convicted. Then deport him.

If wishes were horses, we'd all be up in the air full time.

[what's up]

Khalid Sheikh Mohammed is "folks"?

He was the mastermind behind 9/11, a murderer and Obama includes him in "folks"?

Appalling.

[Missouri gal]

I am a tortured taxpayer forced to pay for all kinds of benefits to people who HATE me. Mosques built on taxpayer dollars. Guns and many other deadly weapons given to radical Muslims and Mexican drug cartels. Benefit after benefit to illegal aliens who hold me in contempt and who are happy to murder, rape, steal from me. I am forced to listen to political correctness designed to destroy my way of life. HELP! I am being tor-tuurred!!!!!

[Gumdrop]

Posting of the day! reminds me of Jesse Ventura thinking that a small phrase in a book which did NOT NAME HIM, somehow damaged his good reputation - which was already damaged beyond redemption by his own actions.
