Here is a guy that apparently does not know our own soldiers are water boarded in training.
You have no valid argument, so you just make shit up.
The classic liberal double talk. Billo claims to not be a fan of saddam, but was not on the side of liberating the tortured from the tyrant. Classic. He has both sides of the issue covered in classic liberal ways.
You don't give a shit about Iraqis, American's, our troops, our heritage, our reputation around the world, you're just some dumbass corporate *****, spewing the company line.
And you're one pretty fucked up American who is so cavalier about putting our troops in harms way over bullshit corporate lies.
He then asks why they do not complain about our own soldiers being water boarded during training?
He asked me that?
I asked you why you're trying to bring in dumbass, irrelevant shit, to this discussion?
What was that, some kind attempt at a jedi mind trick? I asked him the question. He then asked me why?
What grade are you in? You talk like your 15!
In your ignorant ugly stupid liberal face.
"We waterboard, incidentally, hundreds of our own military personnel. They waterboard themselves in training to toughen themselves up."
Duncan Hunter on Monday, August 31st, 2009 in an interview on MSNBC

In a discussion on MSNBC's Hardball program about whether the government ought to consider prosecuting people involved in enhanced interrogation techniques used on some terror suspects, former U.S. Rep. Duncan Hunter, a Republican from California, argued that the issue really comes down to waterboarding.
"And," he said, "waterboarding is not torture."
In fact, said Hunter, a Vietnam veteran and former candidate for president, "We waterboard, incidentally, hundreds of our own military personnel. They waterboard themselves in training to toughen themselves up."
He added, "The Geneva Convention .. .was analyzed by the lawyers in place, and they came to the conclusion, especially about waterboarding, because that's the primary thing, that, since we do it to our own soldiers, by the hundreds, incidentally, and it doesn't hurt them, and they — and it makes them tougher, and it doesn't hurt anybody — Khalid Sheikh Mohammed gained weight after he was waterboarded — we decided that, since we do that to our own soldiers in training... we‘re not going to consider that torture. "
Hunter later challenged host Chris Matthews saying, "But the point is, if we do it, are we torturing American soldiers? You have to answer yes if you consider waterboarding to be torture."
Matthews said the difference is that U.S. service people know they are in training. They know they aren't going to be killed. "That captured person who is one of our enemies has no idea what we‘re doing when we submit him to water torture."
Said Hunter: "If we use it with our own soldiers in training, as we do waterboarding, then it should be allowed with people who have killed thousands of Americans."
We decided to examine Hunter's claim about waterboarding our service personnel as part of their training and found that he is right.
U.S. special operations troops have, in the past, sometimes used a form of waterboarding as part of survival exercises, called Survival, Evasion, Resistance and Escape training. The idea is to prepare them in the event they are ever captured and interrogated with such means.

Not that this asshole would care, cause quite frankly he and his types do not care one bit if our own soldiers are water boarded. Why? Well, real simple. We are talking about a group of people that voted for Obama for two superficial reasons. One, he had a D next to his name, which means he hates a America, hates capitalism and is good enough socialist for them. The second reason is he is black. That is it, cause if you ever ask for any list of qualifications that led them to believe he was so qualified to be president, they have no real response other than childlike responses.
So back why they do not care about our own soldiers being water boarded and why don't you see mass protests and concerns about that? Well for the same superficial reasons. One they are American soldiers and the left hate American soldiers. The reason they hate them is because they are mainly right leaning and most of them are white in their minds.
That is it and that is all. You think it may have more to do with that? Well, you tell me why the same morons that yell and chant incessantly about the brown terrorists being water boarded but they do not say one ******* word about our own soldiers being water boarded in training?
I will be waiting for one person to explain to me why the liberals feign outrage over the poor brown non-christian terrorists being water boarded and not one word about American soldiers (mainly white right and Christian) being water boarded.
