First differentiate between the person of the president and an administration that operates like a machine with suspect oversight. Then think what you would do when you have to defend the citizens of the country, the USA, If you accept that there are fanatics who are basically lawless and who would not shy away from anything to damages their alleged enemies, wouldn't you consider severe means to extract information that could save hundreds and thousands? It certainly is a question of ethic standards. But are these standards automatically to be applied to people who don't have any? The Christian principle of "showing the other cheek" does not work and would be attacked by the ACLU types (and extreme leftists) anyway. That's the dilemma.

The war itself was the result of an unfortunate chain of events, where certain interest groups were pushing for it (and they manipulated (WMD) the President to agree with them). These people were then hiding in the bushes (!), letting the big and powerful country do the job for them and their interests. When everything (the war) lasted too long, they had and still have amnesia. These socalled neocons (conservatives by name only, in reality very liberal) were nationals (pseudo, since they did not have the interest of the US citizens in mind) and certain foreigners and their lobbyists. And many "pundits" are still brainwashed, defending these actions. They are pushing now to fight another war with Iran.
If you review this, you will find that a President may slide into decisions that are counterproductive for the Country.
Part of the manipulation we are exposed in the USA is the generation of fear and the suggested conclusion to reduce certain civil liberties. A truly compassionate President should stand above this fear mongering and find a healthy balance between security and commonwealth.

First your Instructor is a Tard.
I believe that the appointee for Attorney General was the one being questioned about the definition of a type of torture.
I have a vested interest in the conclusion of the war on Terror. My Life, property and Family. So as soon as the Enemies of Liberty are successfully conquered and controlled the better I 'll like it. Also I am all for fighting the beasts on their home soil rather than mine. But should they determine to bring it here, I will be first in line to take my shot at them, probably while your professor is hiding under his desk.
Inquire of Mr. Red if he would rather have played "duck and cover" every time an airplane passed over head, since he has such 'feeling' for the enemy's of liberty.

That reminds me, The stall tactics used by the Democrats and European Socialists allowed Saddam Enough time to safely move the KNOWN weapons (remember the stuff we sold him to fight the Iranians?) and the hidden weapons of mass destruction to Syria. Really It shouldn't have taken that many months to do it, but the stallers wanted to make sure he had plenty of time.

Yes! I support Bush 100 per cent. No President has ever had to face the stress that this man has, with 911, Iran, Korea, Afghanistan, world wide terror. Give him a break. He tried his best to protect this country.
Everyone at the time thought Iraq had weapons of mass destruction so why should he be punished for taking action. The UN Sanctioned Iraq 17 times,,,did nothing. Bush took action. He is a man of his word and the economy is doing well, he even lowered taxes. History will revere him!

Bush has not "redefined" torture. I would like your teacher to submit proof of this "redefinition". He has simply kept us from being attacked again and carried the fight to the enemy. Your teacher is probably a commie, Michael Moore loving dope so your screwed any way you write your paper unless you bash Bush and say how evil America is! What a wasteland public education has become!

The only people who defend him are those who are either ignorant, selfish, or have a political motivation to do so.
The ignorant are just too stupid to know better.
The selfish voted for him for his tax cuts, or his close-minded stances on abortion and stem cell research, among other things.
The politically motivated have a vested interest to maintain the power structure, and what better way to do that than supporting one of the most powerful men on the planet? (Not to mention their party within a party.)
As for the war itself, the supporters are of the same flavor. As soon as the generals retire, they miraculously come to realize how the war is failing miserably, while a mere two weeks prior, they were singing its praises. Funny, that.

The media has so warped the truth about the war in Iraq/On terror, that its almost beyond explaning without writting a book.
We went in, Kicked Saddams ***, took out an evil dictatorship, and are now on the last stage of the conflict, wiping out Al Qeida in Iraq, and unforeseen problem that we faced and beat down over the last year
Now things are getting quiet in Bagdhad

I support President Bush all the way. I don't think waterboarding is torture, if I had my way we'd be skinning the terrorists alive.

I would like to pro-pell Bush to resign from office so that he can stop borrowing taxpayer dollars to support a war that he personally started. He completely ignored Saddam when he swore that he did not have any WMD's and made up this scare tactic that we were on the verge of being attacked by terrorist when in fact he seemed like the terrorist that did attact a country that was not a threat to anyone but themselves and ended up sacrificing thousands of our young men and women's lives unnecessarily in the military.....

Not for a New York minute...I disagree with the losses of lives in this war, as much as I did with the Vietnam War--which was a total waste of lives.
I am neither a Republican nor a Democrat----I am a registered Independent voter----and vote for people and issues---NOT down ANY party line.

The really scary thing, is that is barely seems to matter who we vote for (nationally) any more. The outcome is not terribly different.
