Recently, we've been hearing stories about:

An Al Qaida "how-to" torture manual
http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive...2torture1.html
A torture prison, used by Al Qaida
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,275716,00.html


Now, we've all gone over the question on why or why not Islamics haven't condemned actions like this, but here's a new question:

Where is the outrage on Capitol Hill? WHERE???? They're actively torturing and killing innocent people, and they don't have a problem with that??? Man, we should be going "Nikita Khruschev" on these butchers!

Every day we're bombarded with stories and talking points loaded with "hate Bush" speech, by all kinds of governmental people. But who, other than Bush, has come out and condemned these recent Al Qaida actions? No one! The left almost refuses to say anything bad about Al Qaida. It's like the Commucrats are waiting to take the White House, so they can join an alliance with these savages!

Is that what they're really after? Are they waiting for the Demopublican wave to go away, so they can rush in and "be nice" to all of our current enemies, and shower them with lavish gifts of appeasement? If so, will the Demopublicans get their chance to rub their noses in in later, like the Commucrats do, when talking about Reagan giving weapons to Osama Bin Laden?

And where was the liberal mainstream media on this????? No front page stories----or stories at all---in my newspaper. Pretty amazing, isn't it? I'll tell ya----when the news reporting is as one-sided is ours is right now, it's a pretty dangerous thing taking place.

Stop the Presses!!! Al Qaeda advocates terror and torture? My God! I didn't know that. If I express my outrage now, do I have to repeat it daily to avoid being accused of not recognizing it?

What silliness.

It's silly??? Bet you didn't think the accusations about Abu Gharib torture was silly, did ya? I think the point was that it's important enough for front page news....and yet our liberal mainstream press totally ignores it. It also proves the good we're doing over there. And yet.....I wouldn't even know it occurred had Boogie not posted this.

Come on, they aren't called a terrorist organization for nothing. Have those of you who express shock been living in the closet for the past 6 years?

Here it is again: beheadings, suicide bombers, roadside sneaky bombs, sharia law, no democracy, blowing up large buildings in New York and killing 3000 people. Not nice people...the kind of people a country like the US might try to stop.

What I find shocking is how commonly accepted this issue of torture has become by American troops. The US is not supposed to do this stuff. We are the good guys, we sign things like the Geneva Convention, and join organizations like the United Nations who say torturing prisoners is not a humane thing to do. The US is the one who is supposed to fight fair - just like the movies show. Torturing people with electric shock to the balls is what the other guys do...the bad guys...as in al Qaeda.

How far will this logic of "anything to save Bush" go?

How ironic you would post the above, and to comment on your statement...without an ounce of effort from the democrats to help fight terrorists. They have put roadblocks every step of the way, and with the help of the Bush hating media, you all have done a fine job supporting our troops. It just amazes me how 99% of our troops have such a different view of the situation in Iraq. Maybe if the Bush haters were to spend some time there, a different view would be taken. It reminds me so much of Viet Nam, what a shame our dissenters are.

Oh I forgot to mention, have a nice Memorial Day, I'm sure our troops would like to convey the same to all liberals who denounce them, especially Rosie O, after insinuating they are terrorists.

This weak arguement that Republicans try to put up about how they support the troops and Democrats don't is total BS.

The only reason you Republicans support this war is because YOUR president started it, had it been a Democrat in office and had started this war you would be all against it.

I am sick of hearing the tired excuses about how the Democrats have hindered the war effort. Republicans were in control of the Congress and the White House for 6 years before the Democrats became in power and you did nothing.

The Iraq Study Group consisted of Republicans and Democrats which tried to tell Pres. Bush, his strategy was all wrong and he wouldn't listen. Many Republicans even tried to advise him and he wouldn't listen, so this war and its failures fall at the feet of Pres. Bush and no one else. Deal with it.

If so many Republicans support the President and this war why haven't we seen recruiting rolls going through the roof?


Peace.

Plan on being sicker of hearing it, because we aren't going to stop, and those that are serving now and in the future know how vicious and cowardly democrats are.

Please feel free to list all of the support the democrats have constructed in the last 5 years. I can give you a long list of their blocking, which is pathetically all in the name of politics.

BTW, recruitment is up, so stop lying. Please feel free to chastise and mock our troops like Kerry and the rest of the liberals that consider the volunteers stupid and weak minded. Are you in favor of San Francisco's new ordinance to keep military recruiters away from high schools? You know what a right wing city SF is.

The pathetic regurgitation of insults from the left will remain in the minds of our warriors, because it has in mine since I was in Viet Nam, and I will never forget the vile comments from the left. You should all be ashamed.

This is how pathetic you guys are:
Even though I thought Clinton was a puke, he was still my president, and I will always respect him for that, unlike the 'them against us' mentality you on the left have. You prove my point with that comment, we are all in this together, and you and your ilk would as soon tear us down just to win your position, and that is what is pathetic.

Was the how to torture manual a copy of GI joes manual on torture?

The Al Qa'ida's prison sounds like an Abu Ghraib copy without the video. Was the Al'Qa'ida safe house in Abu Ghraib sublet by the CIA?

Did you expect that people would be surprised the Al Qa'ida is not a humanitarian organisation?
