I agree with you 100%, Duffless. He's a redneck.
Equally disturbing to me is a news special that I caught (unfortunately) only the last portion of the other night. Apparently, because this "new kind of war" isn't technically a war under the Geneva Convention, the U.S. doesn't even have to follow the Geneva Convention's guidelines for the humane treatment of prisoners, including torture or having proof of the prisoners' involvement in terrorist acts. Which wouldn't be that big of deal to me if Bush and his good ol' boy posse weren't in power.
So basically, that redneck can round up anyone he wants for no reason whatsoever, and have them tortured and killed. And he won't even be held accountable under the Geneva Convention.
Ugh.... I got look into moving to another country...
: "To date we have arrested, OR OTHERWISE DEALT WITH, many key commanders of al-Qaida......All told, more than 3,000 suspected terrorists have been arrested in many countries. And many others have met a different fate. Let's put it this way: They are no longer a problem to the United States and our friends and allies. "
: I couldn't believe this part, the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES leaned over the podium, and say Lets put it this way, we excecuted a shit load of terrorist......ummmmmm....great! I love that my nation is murdering criminals BEFORE a trial! Lovely......our nation is clamoring for any information at all about what Iraq is doing, or any information as to what has our country done to ACTUALLY stop terrorism...perhaps capturing terrorist and holding them accountable before the world might be a better idea than Mafia style back room executions that our cowboy president can brag about in speeches........
: Give me Aids money to Africa, give me a hydrogen car, but don't give me your morals sir, I don't want them......
