The mild discomfort of torture
Last night, our President let us know that the discomfort of waterboarding is now torture. And how does he know this? Because of his vast experience of being President an entire one hundred days. The Washington Times quotes;
“I will do whatever is required to keep the American people safe, but I am absolutely convinced that the best way I can do that is to make sure we are not taking shortcuts that undermine who we are,” he said. “There have been no circumstances during the course of this first hundred days in which I have seen information that would make me second-guess the decision I have made.”
In other words, he’s been president for a hundred days and you haven’t – so who is smarter? Certainly not you. And since you think you’re such a smarty-pants, he knows stuff you don’t;
He said he has read the memos former Vice President Dick Cheney has asked be declassified and that the Republican says would show the tactics worked to get critical information that prevented attacks. But Mr. Obama said the memos don’t prove the information couldn’t have been gotten by other methods, and said even if America’s job is harder, it’s worth the trade-off.
There. See? He’s read the Cheney memos and you haven’t. When you’ve read the Cheney memos, you can have an opinion – but until then, shut up. You.
Let me show you how much torture is involved in waterboarding. The regular readers of this blog know that IVAW’s Matthis Chiroux is a big pussy, right? If waterboarding is torture, do you honestly think that Chiroux would allow World Can’t Wait to waterboard him in front of the UN? See for yourself;
You’ll notice that Chiroux’s hands aren’t bound, yet when he is waterboarded, his hands stay behind his back, entirely voluntarily. If Chiroux truly thought he was in danger, and if waterboarding was really a fear-inducing practice, his arms would be flailing around involuntarily. besides, if it was as dangerous as the Left seems to think it is, do you honestly believe a sissy like Chiroux would allow himself to be involved in it? I mean seriously.
Thanks for showing us that waterboarding isn’t torture, Chiroux. I owe you a cookie.

Jonn-
Saw a reporter do that same kind of thing. He made a pre-experiment bet that he could go for 30 seconds. The demonstrator explained through masked face exactly what would happen. Guy was tied down, hands at side, with a weight to drop for the demonstrator to stop. It lasted 5 seconds.
Please. I said this over at B5. You cannot moralize over torture. There is a line and it should be used. In those memos, there is a line. We saved people from being blown up. People want shit to count. Well, sorry, that counted and saved ten thousand people.
“do you honestly believe a sissy like Chiroux would allow himself to be involved in it?” Waterboarding as a tourture method has been tested on Shit-roux?? PWNED!!! DEBUNKED!!
It was torture for me. You have NO FRIGGIN IDEA how bad his breath was.
Dude could have held his breath for longer than he “held out”. This is as much “torture” as doing a cannon ball into a pool and getting some water down your nose. Utter crap.
See if they step up to volunteer for getting their nails pulled out with pliers or getting drawn and quarterd. Where the volunteering for the proccess stops, that’s when the real torture only begins to start. Nobody, and I mean NOBODY, volunteers for torture unless they’ve got some kind of sick kink.
Yo Towel…Like you were a ray of sunshine your own self!
really bad acting in the beginning too.
If causing panic and the fear of death is the standard for torture, then Obama just tortured half of lower Manhattan.
B22- You got it. Go to B5 and see Cliff May and Asshat Stewart debate.
if it was as dangerous as the Left seems to think it is, do you honestly believe a sissy like Chiroux would allow himself to be involved in it?
They promised him a gram?
#9, Raaoul, nope, an 8-ball.
Comment #2 was mine, posted hastily.
“They promised him a gram?”
No, they said later that night, Shit-roux could wear the lace panties and have a garden hose to bite on… and a reach around.
Cliff May did very well despite a hostile crowd and combative host. Stewart got his obligatory ovations from the auduence, but you knew May was driving his point home when you heard the crowd start to grumble.

Yeah, but I gotta tell ya, every fucking time some idiot lays claim to the Geneva Conventions and that it counts, I get really pissed. 1949. Not attended by Iraq or Afghanistan. Period. End of discussion.
As an aside, I wish May had said that and then offered up Nick Berg, Danny Pearl,The Bridge guys, etc…for all the torture they endured and died from even with that shit international law. Worked well for those guys, didn’t it. Stewart is SFB.
Junior AG, that was classic. But now, I have to get the Canadian Mist and Soda off my keyboard.
