How stupid can they be?

Good timing, legs. Answer: halfway into their misbegotten majority, the dems are beyond stupidity. Their profile is entering the Madness Red Zone.

Fresh off 9/11 the people were demanding a no holds barred search for the perps!

Once again the Dems are playing a hand that will backfire.

How stupid can they be?

One statement then shut up.

“You cannot be trusted. I did it to protect my men and our sources and methods.”

Ollie North Strikes again.

They might send him to jail but Bush should pardon him (whether he will is another question).

One more point about torture in general and then I’ll give it a rest until the next round of finger-pointing kicks in.

Hey, Bryan, what I find really depressing is that you have to go to such great lengths to articulate what should be so blatantly obvious: when lives are in the balance, do whatever you can, short of murder, to save lives.
If there was non-lethal torture involved, and it might have saved American lives, than so be it, and if the CIA destroyed the tapes, I can’t say that I blame them.
We’ve gone from a white-hot fury over 9/11 to a mea-culpa attitude toward the very people who want to kill us, but our success in stopping them has created this incredibly dumb aura that there was nothing to stop.
Thanks to both John McCain, who unfortunately can’t stop to non-equate the Vietnam era with the age of terrorists (because it’s always all about McCain), and all the addled-brained democrat and republican lawmakers who don’t have a clue, other than what the pollsters tell them.

I’d say, that pretty much puts an end to the story,

Until…

Dan Rather and Mary Mapes discover “Fake but Accurate” tapes.

Do shoot terrorists.

The legal jihad is part of the overall Islamofascist strategy to weakern, undermine and destroy the West.

Do not play into its hands.

Interrogate without electronic recording devices.

Then execute the s.o.b.’s once they’ve been squeezed.

Frustrate the terrorists and their useful idiots.

Lets just do it right away and end this whole sordid expose.

We just re-interrogate the sumbitch exactly the same way we did 5 years ago, tape the doggone thing, and release the tape on Hannity & Colmes, with guest analysts Newt Gingrich and Susan Estrich.

Simple. Problem solved.

Case closed.

Media Misfire

Somebody needs to get Ollie North to remind Americans of Abu Nidal’s plans to assassinate his family. These are deadly serious matters.

I know for a fact that soldiers at Gitmo have received specific threats from al-Qaedists against their wives and children. There’s no way these terrorists could have gotten the detailed information on these soldiers’ families without the ACLU lawyers feeding it to their terrorist clients. And, of course, the lawyers know their treachery can’t be acted upon without giving the terrorists what they want– confirmation of the identity of American interrogators’ families. It’s a very sick and twisted game.

If they destroyed this information, it was for the reasons cited– to protect Americans in harms way. There is no other plausible motivation; except among the Murtha’s in Congress who (btw) still owe apologies to our Haditha marines.

*spit*

This particular hyena would like to know where all the thousands of hours of Saddam torture videos are.

I was thinking something similar. Anyone who’s aching to see torture videos really ought to have the DVD set of Saddam highlights FedExed to his door.

I’ve seen ‘em, and they went a long way toward clearing up the idea that Iraq was just a bunch of adorable kids flying kites before we invaded.

If this administration knew anything about shaping public opinion, you all would have seen them too by now.

Pretty much everyone in Washington is claiming to have urged the CIA not to destroy those DVDs

Not me, I told them they were idiots to record that stuff in the first place. Morons!

And exactly how are we supposed to know that there were recordings of this stuff anyway or that the recordings showed “waterboarding” in the first place. Admit nothing, deny everything and make counter accusations (works for the DEMS).

Or are they just upset they didn’t have a chance to leak these interrogation tapes?

Frankly, it’s gotten blown way out of proportion, a natural result of raging BDS.

Which is only the second or third reason Rodriguez deserves a medal.

So what will the Republican party do to stop all this?…..not a damn thing

Why not ask the presidential candidates how they would fix it? Seems like a good way to begin the process.

There will be no Jerry Ford pardon moment. Columbia will be trusted up on a pole and everyone will be given an opportunity to throw a punk on the woodpile.

So what will the Republican party do to stop all this?…..not a damn thing.

The politicians need to stop playing games with classified material, especially material that with a high likely hood saved American lives.

At this point I feel the only solution is to find both an intelligence agent to prosecute for high treason. Send the message that we won’t put up with leaking or this type of material.
