I agree with rhymer on the fact that I truly think Bush's actions has put us all in more harm. Over 100k civilians killed in Iraq.
That prolly means there is a 2m children , teenagers , or young adults that will now have a very strong reason to loathe the west.
On the 1% law thats a lot of potential terrorist.
On the toturing...
"Trust a wop to bring a knife to a gunfight"
The dumb thing that was getting caught.
I think the whole matter should have been hushed up , real quick.
I would have dropped the charges to "conduct unbecoming" simply for being dumb enough to take pictures and taken the heat.
If Bush stood up and said "Fuck it.Its a fucking war.They tortured a few of them.In the schmeme of things I don't give a fuck."
He would have lost 6 maybve 10 votes total. ;-)))
I had two friends in the SAS in Britain.They both at different times inferred to me if you hear of an IRA bomber that was "blown up by his own bomb" ....nawwwwwww ;-))))
The SAS killed suspected terroists in Gibralter.Walked up t them all in black and shot them.Tried in Britain as "Lt.X" and "Sgt.Y". Found not guilty.
I was specifically asked , going through the selection process in England for a Regular Commission in the Army.
""You are the commanding officer of a tank squadron , and have captured an enemy officer that you strongly believe has information concerning your objective , that may affect the welfare of your command.What action do you take?"
My answer was along the lines of...The welfare and safety of my men are tantamount.I would extract the information I need by any means necessary to ensure the welfare of my men.
I was accepted.
.....
Oh and rhymer,
""Yes I have been under fire. ""
where?
""Yes I have been pinned down by incoming. ""
ummm where?
""Yes I have seen the devastating results of a truck bomb that killed 42 american marines. Yes I have been under airstrikes and seen people killed and have been blown off my feet. ""
where?
