It’s All Atomic

The choices a president must make. It does sound a lot like Clinton’s Monica Lewinski lie, “I did not have sexual relations with that woman…”.

Bush’s Tortured Logic

“‘Q Mr. President, there has been a bit of an international outcry over reports of secret U.S. prisons in Europe for terrorism suspects. Will you let the Red Cross have access to them? And do you agree with Vice President Cheney that the CIA should be exempt from legislation to ban torture?

‘PRESIDENT BUSH: Our country is at war, and our government has the obligation to protect the American people. The executive branch has the obligation to protect the American people; the legislative branch has the obligation to protect the American people. And we are aggressively doing that. We are finding terrorists and bringing them to justice. We are gathering information about where the terrorists may be hiding. We are trying to disrupt their plots and plans. Anything we do to that effort, to that end, in this effort, any activity we conduct, is within the law. We do not torture.

‘And, therefore, we’re working with Congress to make sure that as we go forward, we make it possible — more possible to do our job. There’s an enemy that lurks and plots and plans, and wants to hurt America again. And so, you bet, we’ll aggressively pursue them. But we will do so under the law. And that’s why you’re seeing members of my administration go and brief the Congress. We want to work together in this matter. We — all of us have an obligation, and it’s a solemn obligation and a solemn responsibility. And I’m confident that when people see the facts, that they’ll recognize that we’ve — they’ve got more work to do, and that we must protect ourselves in a way that is lawful.'”

Okay. “[should we ban torture]” to which he says “[the government is obliged to protect the American people]” and “We are trying to disrupt their plots and plans. Anything we do to that effort, [is lawful]”. Lying about Abu Gharib being lawful.

“…we’re working with Congress to make sure that as we go forward, we make it possible — more possible to do our job.” Cheney is trying to change law to make torture legal to help them get the job done.

Weak! These morons should find a better way than torturing people. No imagination, resorting to torture. Disappointing my taxes pay these moron’s paychecks. Makes me want to vomit.
