Did Bush Jr just admit to committing war crimes?

"Yeah, we waterboarded Khalid Sheikh Mohammed," Bush told a Grand Rapids audience Wednesday, of the self-professed 9/11 mastermind. "I'd do it again to save lives."

Seems an odd thing to admit to, considering the gravity of the statement

Poor George, he just cain't help himself. He has the right to remain silent but is just too fucking stupid to STFU. He has now managed to self incriminate himself.

Anyone want to kick in for part of a plane ticket for him to The Hague???

Obama could make up for it by condemning Israel for their "atrocities" on the Gaza flotilla. Wouldn't that be the mother of all hypocrisy?

Kaffee: W, did you order the waterboarding?!

Judge: You don't have to answer that question--

George: I'll answer the question. You want answers?

Kaffee: I think I'm entitled.

George: You want answers?!

Kaffee: I want the truth!

George: You can't handle the truth! Son, we live in a world that has walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with water. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Lieutenant Weinberg? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom! You weep for Mohammed and you curse the US. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know: that Mohammed's waterboarding, while tragic, probably saved lives. And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives! You don't want the truth, because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that spigot! You need me on that spigot! We use words like "gurgle", "cough", "choke". We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punchline! I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it! I would rather you just said "Thank you," and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a hose, and stand a post. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you are entitled to!

Kaffee: Did you order the waterboarding?

George: I did the job that—-

Kaffee: Did you order the waterboarding?!

George: You're goddamn right I did!!

So.. basically in the future when our enemies capture your sons and daughters and they are tortured...... you will accept the treatment those enemies hand out to your children and the children of other americans who are captured and tortured per the BUSH DOCTRINE.

MMMKKK got it.

They were cutting off heads long before this incident and your post.

Do you REALLY think they will stop cutting off peoples heads if we don't water board a single person ever again?

>Do you REALLY think they will stop cutting off peoples heads if we don't
>water board a single person ever again?

Nope. Do you really think they will stop cutting off people's heads if we DO waterboard people? Again, nope.

So given that outcome, we should do what's right, rather than doing what makes sadists happy.

Did I say it would? Or did you just imagine I said it would?

Wow, all this talk about cutting off heads.
Hey! Who's up for sushi?

No, you didn't, nor did I claim you did.

A friend and I were discussing setting up a company/service where people would pay to come be waterboarded. You know, fun leisure activity like doing a tandem, taking a whitewater raft trip, etc. Tasering might be an up-sell item, but that gets pretty expensive, so a simple cattle prod or handheld zapper might suffice for those who want more.

Get the right "technicians" and I bet you could make a lot of money. Banesaura might be available.

Yes, but even the dictators of SOuth America who kill thousands, do not get brought to justice until they are old and frail. If they do at all.

It is a sad state of our country when someone can stand up and say they violated some statue, and not have anyone do anything about it.

Pol Pot, another one. house arrest basically for killing hundreds of thousands of people.

We torture, we will pay the price, but GWB and Chaney will not - you can bet on it. Just sign another document in the White House to say that it's OK if we do it and we do not have to follow the rules.

Look at how many people went after Clinton when he lied about a blowjob..... We start wars and no one does fuck all -

shame on ALL the Congress and Senate for not acting on this with some fucking balls.

McCain, himself a tortured POW, originally fought hard against US torture saying it would result in the torture of US POWs, but Bush backed him off and he shut up.

You are right, I just made all of it up.



--Do you think that will be what the Chinese will do?

Thats a tough one, I would venture to say , they would do what ever they wanted to do regardless of what a bunch of liberals thought they should do.

Great.. so in future conflicts due to what a bunch of "consevetards" HAVE done... the chinese can feel justified in following the Bush Doctrine and torturing our soldiers and sailors or airmen....

WELL FUCKING DONE

I doubt they would be concerned about feeling 'justified'.

Well we have CERTAINLY lost the moral highground we used to have the last time we were off killing thousands of chinese and they were torturing our GI's.

Now they can just quote the Bush Doctrine.... it makes for very bad PR... you know.. that wee little component of modern war that seems to be so important to the world.
