"The United States does not torture" "It's against our laws, and it's agaisnt our values. I have not authorized it-and will not authorize it."
These are the words of George W. Bush regarding the detention of terror suspects.
Before anyone says the torture is neccessary to protect us I have to ask,
There is proof without a doubt that the U.S. carries out torture and that President Bush is either authorizing it or turning a blind eye. Regardless the U.S. does carry out torture. So anyone outraged by this fact can't feel any better hearing Bush say these kind of things. So why not just admit to it, sicne there is proof?
So how do can we trust anything he says or does? This is a disgrace to the United States and will only bring trouble.
Are we fighting or inciting terror?

For those wanting to see the proof here you go
But before I give it you I would like to say that I am not a liberal or conservative, I am a concerned human being.
-The documentary Ghosts of Abu Ghraib does an excellent job of explaining the United States "tough" interogation tactics and how the Government uses deception to justify their actions
-Listen to the testimony of released detainees as well as listen to what human rights activists say. Then compare the statements of what Government officials say. Not only does the statements and explainations of Government officials contradict the what the released detainees and activists say the officals often outright lying.
-Listen to what soldiers speaking out against the war have to say, they will explain the torture tactics
If all of this is somehow inaccurate or there is good reason for it, what is the Government doing to win the hearts and minds of anybody who is concerned? They should see that this is a powder keg.

I appologize for not mentioning the evidence in specific detail. I could not fit the evidence in detail in here. The people reporting torture and the evidence backing it is being opposed by little resistance. There is no good reason for how the Government responds to this evidence. There responses are only reinforcing outrage and hatred for the U.S. As time passes there is more and more evidence of torture. Without a doubt torture was carried out at Abu Ghraib. Let's say there is a good reason for it. Saying America doesn't torture cannot help with National Security.

We are inciting terror. It is amazing the power of lies. George W. Bush is a master liar. He's had plenty of practice over his 60 some years of life. I wouldn't trust him as far as I could chuck the Washington memorial. I can't lift it and thus can't chuck it so how much do I trust GWB? not at all.

Well it's like Religion... you don't want the truth.
I can't imagine a world without torture.... I mean how do you get information without it?
It's time for people like you to grow up.
The world isn't at all the way you seem to think it is.
Good people have to do bad things to make good people safe.
If we give these people drugs without torture to get what we want.. you'd still cry about it.
So how do we get the info we need to save lives before it's to late?
Well there is no right answer... just turn a blind eye and let the experts handle it.

No I don't trust him. He hasn't done a single thing to protect us or earn my trust and respect. His continued policy choices have reflected nothing but the same old lies and deceit that most presidents use to protect themselves and keep their voter base.
Should an election happen today for him and another VIABLE candidate we'd see him lose in a land slide.
To the second question, are we fighting or inciting terror?
Undoubtedly as mentioned above the answer would be inciting terror. If you look at American history we've dabbled in international affairs for years. Terrorism is simply a result of the law: Cause and Effect.

i could opt for Clinton over bush and right here is why. Clinton is barely responsible of mendacity approximately getting a ******** from a GOP hooker. on a similar time as bush is busy stealing from us and those in Iraq, form of like what the nazi's did to the Jews and the Germans. however you're possibly in simple terms as grasping and could't see. In answer on your factors of view: a million: bush's faith is so good he had to grow to be a reborn christian to declare that status. 2: bush would not provide you the actuality if his existence relied on it, he'd plead the 5th or when you consider which you think so strongly he'd possibly sell you a dried up oil nicely.. 3: sure he'd serve with as plenty hobby as he could desire to slot in his foreign places bills, he ducked out of the provider and wasn't even in a time of conflict, what a retard. If in basic terms the the remainder of our armed forces could desire to sellect the place they opt for to serve i ask your self what share could be in Iraq. 4: nicely he could care approximately his family contributors however i'm sorry for his spouse, a guy who's in mattress by utilising 9 leaving her to the strip golf equipment and stuffing funds down youthful mens jocks can't be all stable. nicely a minimum of all of us be responsive to the place a number of our tax funds are going besides and that i'm advantageous the stripers are chuffed of it. 5: he's this sort of good chief and team participant that the GOP hates him and maximum of his electorate besides however there are some who in simple terms can no longer admit he's valueless.

Nope, down with him, his crime family, his cabinet and the New World Order. I remember in the documentary Terrorstorm, how instead of torture, they use the term "pressure." And if anyone dies from "pressure" it's perfectly legal. These are words from one of his defense secretaries who used this new word of "pressure."
Remember, all they want is control. To control the population and put them into a locked down police state control grid. It's in the final stages of it. When we go for attacking Iran under false pretexts like Iraq, WW3 will happen. This in turn will create martial law for our supposed "security". Learn the facts, don't believe me on what I've just written. Do the research and see for yourselves of what's really going on.

The truth is the Bush family has been arms merchants and war finaciers for close to one hundred years. Samuel Bush the Presidents great grandfather was knicknamed the merchant of death and Prescott Bush funded and armed the Nazi's and was caught tried and convicted for it in 1942. Even though close to half the U.S. popoulation was in favor of either deporting the Jews or taking action to remove them from power they felt that Prescott Bushes position as being the U.S. spokesman for Eugenics sterilizing and killing the undesireable people was a little radical since it would target them personaly. I guess they felt it was O.K. for Bush to get rich by pulling the gold from Jews mouths and throwing them in ovens.
Another issue I have personaly with George Bush is I had close to a half million stolen from me and the crook who stole my home in a very exclusve neighborhood Roland Arnall
donated 12 million to the President unlawfully in exchange for diplomatic immunity from prosecution.
So here is the chose I had at the last Presidential election pick a Democrat who would support a legilation and legal action and make me a millionaire or live in a van and pick George Bush.
Seems like a simple choice however Democrats support socialism, welfare, universal health care and attacks on religion and to support them would be like chosing to take us back into the dark ages dependent on feudal lords for our existance.
I chose to abstain from the Presidential vote since I couldn't pick
a mass murderer who supported throwing people out of their homes inclusive of myself for the profit of corporate crooks and is flooding our country with illegal immigrants and transfering our wealth to China Mexico and other 3rd world countries and set out to trap us into and oil based economy by cutting off alternate energy research which will surely lead to WWIII a Bush family halmark and legacy. John Kerry would have just taxed my compensation as a crime victim of Bush and his pal Roland Arnall who share a baseball stadium by the way and spent us into a depresion.
We have one group who wants implement a fascist dictatorship
and hand our assets to the corporate crooks another who wants to lure us with goodies we can never pay for into being debt slaves for the same corporate crooks.
Thousands of terrorists and criminals are flooding over the border while we are suposedly fighting a war with terrorists George Bush senoir put in power in the first place.
The FBI and CIA are frustrated the President has issued an executive order blocking investigations of the Bin Ladens while at the same time spending hundereds of billions on supposedly catching and stopping OBL and his money trail. What a way to stretch out a ficticious war for profit. Opium is used to ficilitate illegal arms sales and as laundering war profits Opium production is at a record high in Afghanistan. Kelo V new London took away our property rights and the government now has the right to kick you out of your own home and pay wha they fell like for the profit of corporate crooks. Apparently the President has no problem with a banker or developer kicking you out in the street as long as he gets kickback. Or lying about Uranium from Africa, or lying about his contacts with Abramoff , or supporting Delay or supporting Cheney's war profiteering, or planning to disarm us if we get the flue, disarming the law abiding citizens in New Orleans and letting the criminals run loose
Bushes latest plan is to allow Mexican trucks to cross our border with no saftey or weight regulations. Under Bush law enforcement agents and border patrol are being harrased, intimidated, beaten and thrown in jail for not allowing drug dealers free passage in the U.S.
Well what do you expect from the Bush family which organized, armed and funded WWI and WWII and used our citizens and the rest of the world as human artilery targets other than to set up WWIII.
We are crazy if we don't convict him of treason like his Grandfather. You can't be passive in the face of an evil dictatorship.
No wonder the country is polarized we support one criminal over another and fight each other instead of the crooks.
George Bush is unquestionably by any logical , factual or historical measure the worst and most treasonous leader in the history of the world hands down.
