Different links - different stories. Mine has video. :p

Hard to tell what going on with the Obama folks.....

I suspect that the "guys who know" wanted to use waterboarding, which is harmless but scary, and are using this case as leverage to get the general go-ahead from voters. That's a good idea! Pretend to be opposed to it, so that you can gather up the pinhead vote and then have someone casually mention that it has been used to gather the independents in. The pinheads will blame it on Bush and vote for Obama. The independents will fall for it, too; they'll think it's being used all along and some of them will vote for Obama again.

But I won't.

I believe I said waterboarding was not soley responsible for finding him, which seems to be the narrative floating around now.

Your side, my side... I dont care. You're the one who's more concerned with winning that game.

Oh fer fux sake! In what dreamworld of yours is that happening?

I have yet to come across anyone who has said only waterboarding led us to bin Laden, and nothing else was at all involved. What stupid shit you spew! Waterboarding was part of what led us there.

Sometimes you have to break it down for the libs...

And then, when that doesn't work, I suggest using a baseball bat to the skull to drive the point home. Because, if they're that stupid, only a good solid piece of wood applied forcefully to the skull is the only way to make them learn.
