ROFLMNAO... Oh GOD that's precious...
So Olberman sends out the clarian call challenging Hannity, declaring he'll pay something like a grand a SECOND for Hannity to be waterboarded and this tool now want's to up the ante, where Hannity is treated like a noncooperative mass-murderer...
But hey... why not... I say if Hannity is found to be plotting mass murder of thousands of Americans, and gets the LEAST BIT MOUTHY... he gets the full Monty...
Otherwise, Olberman needs to get out his checkbook and brace for impact.
This is gonna BE GREAT!
While waterboarding is hardly something I'd like to do again, a grand a minute is plenty to make it happen as many times as the payor is able to hang on.
I guarantee you that I'd be willing to take as many pours as it takes to break that sorry leftist FOREVER...!
(Sean give me a call, we'll spend the week-end getting you ready and we'll take this punk for every cent he's GOT.)
When? In and around the summer of 1978,
Whom? SERE School... 3rd Recon Bn, 3rd MarDiv USMC... Onna Point, Okinawa, Japan deployed to Basecamp Fuji, Japan; Joint Force SERE Training.
Why? To develope the skills and understanding to effectively implment necessary time-sensitive field interrogation of high value prisoners...
No more so than you're a reasonably intelligent human being... I mean it's possible, but given the evidence, it's exceedingly unlikely...
A whole Dollar? Hold On Player! You're out of CONTROL!
Sure... As such is absolutely necessary for your position to have any potential credibility what so ever... and while that's a wonderful rationalization, its baseless, thus logically invalid and given it rests within an unsound intellectual construct... it serves neither this discussion or the goals which you would otherwise reasonably have in advancing it, unless those goals are to thoroughly discredit yourself...
Now is that where you were heading?
Yep and it's about to cost him a couple of hundred grand... which is just beautiful... what's your point?
Oh as oppossed to 'the safe waterboarding...' ROFLMNAO...
Well of the two of us, I'm the only one that's actually taken SERE training and when I did it, there wasn't a hole hell of a lot of 'safe' to it...
Here's how Sere worked... We were on a routine training patrol... and after about 3 hours we reached a predetermined harborsite of what the scenario described as a known enemy harborsite... we were in the midst of the routine intelligence gathering, when our Lt popped into this little camp...
He had 6 guys dressed in goofy looking civilian (what we referred to as 'slope garb') attire with AK 47s and he explained that we had just entered SERE training... whereupon one of the AK toting knotheads started reading a scenario... we were informed that we had been captured by the communist forces gofuckyourselfstan; that we would be treated according to the geneva convention and so on... we were told to rmove our gear, and lie on the deck, place our hands behind our backs and that from this point forward all communication, from them to us would be in their native tongue... and that they would indicate when the formal training began...
We did as we were told spent the next several days engaged in what would likely KILL YOU. Ever been blindfolded with hands tieds behind your back and forced to kneel on your knees for 3 days in a 6' deep hole that is 6ish feet long and just barely wider than your shoulders? Ever had your full body pulled up by 14/2 com-wire wrapped around you ankles? How about lifted off the ground by your wrists... tied behind your back? Spend a few hours with raw knees on 2" angle iron... Bitch slapped until your eyes swell shut? and so it goes... on and on... Waterboarding was hardly the worst of it... ya get tied to incline board, head down, hand tied under the board... you're saying, 'this won't be too bad, I'll just hold my breath... (At the time I could do three minutes and did so as a matter of routine training) only what ya find out is that once the rag goes over the face, they slap a hand over your mouth... again... "No Big deal... I can do this ALL DAY!" Then they start the pour...
You hold your breathe and all is well until the water starts running into your nose... the mind immiediately figures out that with the hand over the mouth, as soon as you take a breath you're going to ingest this nose full of water... but STILL... No big deal... "I'll just slowly blow air out the nose to remove the water... and then it hits you like a BAT! The dumbass that's been leaning with his hand on your chest, which you just thought was there to hold ya still, begins to press down on your chest... and it is clear that as you're blowing air out your nose, that you're about out of air and the water is still coming and very soon, you're going to be unable to clear your nose and it is going to fill up and even when they DO let you breath again, you're going to suck that water into your lungs... and THAT SPORT is some SCARY SHIT... In my mind flashed the letter to my Mom where condolences were being passed along for the accident I had experienced while in SERE School; how the Corps was sorry... but shit happens... and this amplified by the stupor I recalled on the faces of the geniuses that picked us UP initially; and what the odds were that THOSE CRETINS WERE SUFFICIENTLY TRAINED TO NOT KILL MY ASS... the answer was NOT GOOD NEWS! You're pretty damn sure you're screwed... and not 'golly this is gonna hurt for a while' screwed, but 'tragic training accident screwed...'
And the bad news... it doesn't get any better with practice... it's just as scary if NOT scarier the 30th time as it was the first, because ya KNOW that the odds are running out on ya.
So spare me your faux indignation sis... There isn't much about it, that I DON'T know; BUT AS BAD AS RECIEVING WAS, which helped immensely; in the following weeks we began the implementation... and it's a gas... and what's more, I can tell you that it
is VASTLY preferred.
Sean wants to be treated the same as a detainee to prove it is just a little spa bubble bath, let it be so.
Oh I agree, and the second that Sean becomes a detainee, he WILL... Sadly for you and Olberman, Sean is NOT a detainee... the bet is to pay a grand a second for a procedure which takes a couple of minutes... and that's 60 grand a minute...
What I want to hear is Olberman puss out and only pay for the seconds of the POUR... which is almost a certainty... but I'd do it as many times as it takes to bust the scumbag... 'cause there is NO TIME LIMIT... I'd be there day after DAY taking that cockpolisher down $60,000 AT A WHACK and do it RIGHT NOW!
