The Big Bad Wolf.
We were much safer under Bush than we are today.
I don't really give a fuck about torture. If they have information we need get it any way possible. We are the only country in the world that promises a paradise existence after we catch you. The rest will do what they have to. Why hamstring ourselves with this bullshit we are the only ones willing to practice?
Torture away. Do we need the info? Yes. Get it. In any way possible. Nobody else gives a fuck if they capture one of ours so fuck them. We play by your rules, you torture we torture. You stop doing that and we will stop. Until it's equal on both sides I don't really care about the liberal bleeding heart bullshit.
You are a propaganda controlled idiot drone. Bush absolutely let 9/11 happen on his watch & let Bin Laden go free. Bush did the opposite of keeping US safe. Bush got about 9,000 of US killed & created more terrorist. Over 60,000 US soldiers & citizens dead or wounded & retards claim Bush kept us safe. Get out your wallet because this was & continues to be a huge expense.
The Bush admin had all the intelligence necessary to prevent 9/11 but REFUSED to stop the attack. Bush & the Neoconservative leaders at Pentagon wanted an offensive war instead of defending US citizens from a real attack. Neocons from the Pentagon told Bush that the C.I.A. had been fooled; Bin Laden was merely pretending to be planning an attack to distract him from Saddam Hussein, who is a greater threat. Intelligence officials protested that the idea of Bin Laden, an Islamic fundamentalist, conspiring with Mr. Hussein, an Iraqi secularist, as ridiculous. Bush receives another Presidential Daiy Brief entitled The U.S. is not the target of a disinformation campaign by Usama Bin Laden, Bush ignored it.
So allowing the Bush admin to torture everyone on the planet would not have stopped 9/11. He had the intel, but allowed it to happen anyway because he wanted a war with Saddam. Torture has not produced any good intel, negotiations have gotten us good cooperation.
You should read the letters to Obama from the people from the NSA. They said they gave Bush all the intel necessary to stop 9/11. After 9/11 Bush converted the NSA from spying on our enemies gathering precise information to protect US, to a huge unmanageable agency collecting & storing all available data on everyone. They claim the NSA can no-longer be proactive in preventing attacks like the Boston Bombing. They can only find archived info on them after they attack.
Add in militarizing the CIA and the use of contractors was a huge clusterfuck as well.
