#1 Attacks under Bush in the US after 9/11 = Zero.

Attacks under Obama = at least FIVE.

#2 The liberals are still blindly following the notion that the Islamic terrorists are attacking us because they don't like us.

Not ~~torturing~~ interrogating prisoners, leaving the borders open, saying nice things to them, bowing and scraping at negotiations, and accepting mindless violence.

#3 The only "rectal feeding" I've detected continues to come from the left.

#4 As a person that had been shot at when a baby and ho despite my age would have probably faced horrible death had I been caught alive by that terrorist movement that routinely mudered, sadistically murdered whole villages I already told what I thgought about torture the guy is proven guilty and making him speak would save lives.

As I said: envision yourself telling to a father "Your daughter has been raped and cut to pieces, her baby impaed. I could have prevented it but I didn't want to dirty my precious little hands".

Let's remins it is the terrorists not us who chooseed to up the stakes of evil.

#5 It’s the same mentality that leads to police shooting unarmed black men in the name of public safety.

Walsh may be a twit but you have to give her credit for consistency. Regardless of the subject at hand she never misses an opportunity to imply all republicans are racists.

#6 Joan Walsh is Salon's editor at large and the author of "What's the Matter With White People: Finding Our Way in the Next America."

So I guess Joanie Girl is the demented face of American liberalism?

#8 It's not important that they love us, only that they fear us.

Hey, when ISIS and al Qaeda sign the Geneva Convention we can abide by it ourselves. Until then we should treat them like the barbarians they are. Me, I wanted bin Laden's head on a pike at Ground Zero but Obama wouldn't even let us see the pictures out of concern for Muslim "sensibilities". Screw that. And if I did any rectal feeding with KSM I would have made sure to add plenty of hot sauce. I would have filmed the event and put it on YouTube, especially the part where he ratted out his fellow cockroaches because he couldn't take any more pain.

#9 It doesn't matter if the techniques or torture or not. It doesn't matter if folks repeat torture doesn't work until they turn blue.

Torture does work and most Americans support it against Jihadists in way we would not have supported it in a war against a nation-state.

As long as the guys doing the interrogations are doing so willingly I'm content to trust they know their job better than journalists and celebrities.
