    The pathetic "Feed the Wolf then he won't eat us crowd", (you included) are always harping about the "CIVIL RIGHTS" of criminals, gangsters and thugs, You are unwilling and incapable of taking care of yourself but also unwilling to allow those who can take care of themselves (and you) to do so. There is no way to feed these wild animals that will get them to "Pacify", they just keep demanding more and more. I read somewhere that General Pershing, while Governor General of the Phillipines, I believe, rounded up a bunch of MUSLIM terrorists tried them and took them out to execute them. The story goes that he dug a trench for them to be buried in killed several pigs and had their carcases and entrals and blood put in the trench, had his fireing squad dip the bullets in pig blood and then shot the prisoners----all but one, whom he turned loose, it was 40 some years before another act of MUSLIM terror was commited on Americans anywhere in the world. Now that is what should happen to ALL these TERRORISTS who do these things to others, wheither you weak livered, limp wristed, cry babies like it or not.

    ...Bush's vetoeing the measure stating that only the military interrogations should be used was "not unwise"? You're kidding, right?

    What is this, the Inquisition? What happened, America, you lose your balls?

    Jesus Christ...when America gets it's own ideals back, give me a call.

    They made some very grave mistakes related to the ideologies behind their actions. All the bull in the world cannot erase the situation we are now in: economic ruin with expensive wars in progress and a tremendous amount of profit made by a few at the expense of the rest of the nation, at the expense of what our nation stands for, a loss of the strong standing we use to have in the world, the loss of an effective foreign relations, the loss of the governments position of protecting citizens from being taken advantage of by special interests and schemers run rampant with schems related to credit and investments and with special interests effecting government decisions to favor themselves via gaining favor via campaign contributions and offerings of benefits which are legally questionable, especially if the spirit of the law is considered important. We are in a great mess, internally and abroad, and it is not by coincidence. The terrorists have succeeded in manipulating our nation into ruining itself from within via our own extremism and lowering ourselves to the level of those who use violence to damage others and cause terror in others trying to effect desired results with little success and lots of violence and damage. It has been a horrible way to behave and has left us in a horrible situation. Would "Made off" please send me some of the precious jewels?

      You make several errors in your few sentences posted. First of all, most of the world respects us, with the exception of countries that have done business with the terrorist-supporting nations--take France for example, they have sold nuke technology and nuke hard parts to a dictator who believes that he is "chosen" by allah to usher in the end of the world and the 2nd coming (Iran if you didn't get that) and countries like Russia, who has made quiet and massive shifts back to the "Evil Empire" days. Go to Africa and India...quit spitting back liberal talking points. Finally, I would like your suggestion on how to reason with those such as terrorists??? They have to be killed, PERIOD! Then maybe the idiot standing next to the guy, as he drops to the ground dead, might put down the AK47 and start building a respectible society in his (or her) part of the world. A hard and just hand to punish the offenders, which is the language that the terrorist understands. Just think what would happen if liberal parents took the same approach to justice in child-rearing, maybe kids would not be so disrespectful...or stop bringing guns to school to murder classmates. The point is that you can't have a "nice war" and you can't reason with terrorists who have been indoctrinated with the radical muslim reoteric since birth. Have a Chi-tea latte and go hang out at a head shop!

    One can easily tell the bias by the adjectives used to associate with a person, e.g. words of negative connotation such as contemptuous, obsessive when it comes to Cheney's acts while positive ones such as ''prudent willingness' instead of simply 'willingness' were used on Obama. I get it. Even though Clienton's failure to nip the bud of the terrorism while he could enabled the 9/11 and caused the huge financial loss and burden to ensure the nation's security, but Bush could do no right and Clinton and now Obama can do no wrong. What's new?

    You pea-brained, hand wringing liberals have no clue of how the military works. I can tell you from first hand experience, there is no so called torture practiced at GITMO or any other base that our own special forces have not undergone in their training. Give me a break!

      To RCPush: You sound very bitter or maybe you're just a sore loser. Remember, YOU VOTED FOR SOMEONE WITH A "PEA BRAIN" and as you already know HE'S DEFINITELY NOT A LIBERAL! Don't blame the LIberals for the last 8 disastrous years...GROW UP AND TAKE SOME RESPONSIBILITY FOR ONCE AND WHILE YOU"RE AT IT, ASK "YOUR BOYS" BUSH & CHENEY TO DO THE SAME; THAT IS IF YOU REALLY CARE ABOUT THE FUTURE OF THIS COUNTRY!

    the liberal media can say what they want about bush an cheney.

    i havent seen anymore planes flying into our buildings!!
    if we have to torture a terrorist to save lives like the thousands that lost theres on 9/11 do it!!!! do it!!!
    i can only hope obama will protect our nation as well?

  • Posted By: Bad Dog @ 01/14/2009 6:53:08 PM

    Oabma will just have to decide this one on his own. Everything has its reason, everything has its season. Time will certainly give us the answer, no pun intended.

  • Posted By: usersuz1 @ 01/14/2009 6:53:06 PM

    Are you really naive enough to believe that any suspected "sleeper agent" let go for lack of evidence or tainted testimony is going to disappear merrily into the heartland of America? Is that what we pay the FBI for? Please. Obama taught Constitutional Law, he doesn't need to be schooled on his choices. All I know is that we are nothing without honor - you know, that "Duty, Honor, Country" thing? We managed to get by without torturing people before, we can do it again. 911 was not a demonstration of the danger of terrorists so much as it was a demonstration of the gross incompetence of the Bush administration. George was warned, Condi was warned, and they ignored it. They had blinders on to all but their political agenda. Besides, that 911 thing worked out pretty well for them, didn't it? Scared everybody, let them get a blank check from congress to invade whoever, do whatever, spend anything they liked. We need to re-professionalize our security agencies and learn to accept some risks. That's why the U.S. is called the Home of the Free and the Brave. Can't have one without the other.

    The liberal media better start showing the better things in this country or it is not going to matter what Obama does. He was there child so they better show him in a good light. I did not vote for him but i hope he can turns things around and with all the money he is going to throw at it, it better. Just remember we are going to have to pay for it sooner or later and no matter if you voted for him or not he is your president and he deserves our support and respect. That is one thing this country and especially liberals have forgotten.

  • Posted By: mickeysteib @ 01/14/2009 6:18:36 PM

    We are in terrible shape. They did the whole job wrong. "They did the country wrong." All of the continuing attacks and counter attacks are only part of the damage we have suffered. Our national debt, our standing in the world, our economy, the economy of the world, our trust in our government and its relationship with campaign contributors and special interests, and our pride in not lowering ourselves to the level of the terrorists all have suffered a deterioration that encourages the terrorists to continue manipulating us into self destruction and to contunue attacks on the US around the world. What a mess!

    People still want to use 'leftist' and 'liberal' whenever people don't agree with them. Thank you Bush for a new breed of brainless, reasonless idiots. God bless American from around 1/4 of its own.

    Barack Obama was elected partly to cleanse the temple of the Bush-Cheney stain, and in his campaign speeches he promised to reverse Cheney's efforts to seize power for the White House in the war on terror...........

    You Liberals just
    Dont get it....but something tells me you will........very very shortly after Jan 20th.
    I dont mind saying you're IDIOTS After the first attack on the US you will rumble...after the second you will think, and after the third you might start to get it.

      ^^^Geez, folks, for a bonafied number ONE good example of a FOX noise , right winger, THERE is your sign! Like many who pounce on articles about Obama with the exact same verbiege used by Hannity, O'Rielly, Limbaugh, et al, while at the same time claiming the media is all "liberal" "leftist" . Ignorance. Pure and simple. It isn't any wonder why they love G W Bush so much. It does not one bit of good whatsoever to TRY to enlighten someone who HAS ALL THE ANSWERS, and someone who thinks that anyone who disagrees with them is "anti-american", "anti-democracy" and or a "liberal". Just tell them to go bow down to their god: Limbaugh , for he did a magnificent job of creating and perpetuating all the "liberal agenda" propaganda

    I would like to thank President Bush and Vice President Cheney for keeping us safe. My thanks to you include all of my family and friends who know that it takes a superior person to do what is right for the country when others would try to say that it is wrong. I believe that President Bush and Vice President Cheney were the right people, at precisely the right time, to do what was necessary to provide this protection and safety to all citizens, including those who claim that it was wrong. I believe anyone who thinks otherwise, should relocate to the Middle-East zone, so they can join their comrades in arms over there; who by the way, do not follow any humane pattern when afflicting injury or death to us or anyone else in the world. If they would live peacefully, then there would be no need for us to provide such protection.

    • Posted By: rapidron @ 01/14/2009 6:46:10 PM

      Why don't you move first? Get out!

      How do you like this rhetoric for people who don't agree to your imbecile thoughts?

      Bush could have been a respectable leader if not for all his incredible short-comings and failures--plain and simple.

      He has already divided the nation and seeded a new generation (around 1/4 of the people nowadays) of idiots who, when someone does not simply agree to them, calls them 'leftist' right away and blames 'liberal' this and that. This new breed who has found that they could get away with it has decided to not use their own minds, instead relying on radio angry rhetoric from fat-ass, worthless hypocrites as substitute. Thank you Bush for the new generation of nitwits. God have bless and have mercy on this great country.

    I support wateroarding and any other supplemental measures the CIA has taken to interrogate these ruthless bastards. They have no value for their own life and won't think twice before deccimating the rest of us. I see no reason why care should be given to the way we treat these prisoners. Obama will definitely have problems on his hands with Guantanomo Bay. Let's see how he handles it.
