“They’ll obey this guy”.
They are desperate to find something to attack Trump over and are just making themselves look even more shameless and unprincipled that usual.
Of course he did. Then tomorrow he will have evolved yet again.
Oh brother. We always knew that Trump would talk with the military leaders and then give an order. Stop with these nonsense articles PLEASE.
Donald Trump Reverses Position On....
1) Torture
2) H1-B visas
3) Funding his general election campaign
4) Attending CPAC
[All In Less Than 24-Hours!]
Dancing Donald.
I don’t think it is a real change so much as not having a clue about military law or rules of engagement to begin with. Trump obviously got educated and the position evolved. Glad to hear it.
This is consistent with what Trump has been saying. Trump never said he would violate any laws. If a terrorist family is an accomplice in a crime they will be punished. The Trump haters try to spin everything. The public is wise and his leads keep growing.
The electorate is now aware of media games and are on to media smears and twisting of statements.
Trump merely said he would abide by the Geneva Conventions. He mentioned nothing about reversing on torture, especially waterboarding.
I am not sure waterboarding is categorized as torture. I am not sure anything that would be done to a murderous prisoner would not somehow be categorized by the left as torture. Is sleep deprivation torture?
If getting a prisoner to talk would save countless lives, how can certain nonlethal means of getting information be categorized as torture?
Gray area here.
News Bulletin: Hundreds of leftist media pukes spend millions in research money to create dozens of gotcha questions that can be exploited as attacks to prove that Trump is not perfect, and therefore Hillary must be President.
Foaming at the mouth hypocrisy assisted national suicide news at 11.
Yet another nothingburger. You ‘people’ just don’t quit.
No waterboarding was done by Obama’s executive order. This is an easy one.
Trump is almost as good at flip-flopping as Romney.
Perhaps better.
(And why I didn’t vote for Romney and won’t vote for Trump.)
It’s called collateral damage. Ask Khadaffi how that works...oops...nevermind...we assassinated him which is not allowed.
His stance as the CinC means he can order military personnel to do something, according to the chain of command. Illegal orders are, by definition, illegal.
0bama made waterboarding illegal by EO, not by ordinary legal process. However, waterboarding still applies to and is used in training our own military, so this issue presents a problem.
So last night he said he would make the military obey unlawful orders and today he (?) said he wouldn’t do that. I disagreed with his position last night. I wonder if anybody here supports both?
Idiotic discussion in the first place.
You know that whole non debate just got out of hand last night. I personally discount most of what was said by everyone except Kasich who just stayed on subject matter like a champ. Bless his heart. :-)
