It appears to me that neither the author of this column, nor any of those making wise ass comments about water boarding have any idea what torture really is. It also occurs to me that you probably don’t have any family who is serving or has served in the military since the first Iraq war! The true and factual horror these radical extremists have demonstrated over and over again, with IED’s against our troops; suicide bombers who have no problem taking the lives of innocents as well as their own; individual citizens (contractors, journalists, etc.,) being beheaded or burned and hung from bridges are just a few examples of real, true torture and inhumane treatment. If it weren’t for the folks who utilized water boarding on THREE (that’s right) THREE TERRORISTS, the information necessary to eliminate Osama Bin Laden would NEVER have been uncovered. We will never know the number of our troops lives that have been saved because these disgusting individual is dead! As someone who has family serving in the military, I say there is NO comparison between the fact of the terrorist’s methods, and the fact of the method of interrogation used by our intelligence community. The end result of each of these methods ~ the 3 terrorists water boarded are still alive and unharmed! The same can NOT be said about the thousands of young men and women of our military, as well as innocent citizens killed or maimed by these radicals. I am grateful that Kathryn Bigelow decided to keep the White House, politics and hollywood out of this film, while allowing us to see the true heroes of this real life war story.

What? You the non-stop whining about this being a campaign movie (even though it’s always been scheduled to come out after the election) was all for nothing?

I know! Gosh! I think we’re mixing it up with waterskiing and snowboarding, too.

I know exactly what you mean. It’s not so bad. This whole thing about waterboarding as torture is overplayed. It’s just a fun way to get people to talk. So your mouth fills with water and you could gag or drown. People make too much of this sort of thing. Our forefathers would have approved! Certainly! What wusses people are now!

Water boarding is the perfect method to gain information precisely because it is not torture. You can have a doctor standing by, tell the victim he isn’t going to be hurt, that they will stop water boarding him before he drowns, that the doctore will make sure of that, and his body will still reflexivly respond as if he were drowning. But he will never drown, or ever be hurt. I will write my congressman to demand that all democrats be waterboarded for lying about everything they do in government.

Is water boarding really torture? It’s scary, it combines a fear of suffocation with drowning, but no one is being killed and there are no long term effects. Maybe it’s time for the liberals to start focusing on the problems instead of the solutions that are working. The Obama faithful 99

Biff’s comment is emblematic of the liberal mind – he criticizes those supporting water boarding as lacking “critical thinking” skills and being losers, then proceeds to equate water boarding with the true torture, maiming, and medieval ritual killing done by jihadis. These events are morally equivalent, teaches Biff, precluding our complaining “when they do it to us.”

Biff thinks a head lock is the same as a pistol whipping. Dollars to donuts he thinks those semi-auto AK-47 knockoffs are “assault weapons.”

Liberals would be merely annoying but for the risk that their surpassing stupidity can kill us all.
