speaking of parrots, Always on Watch found this video. The bird has the same size brain as most Obama supporters:

I have an african grey.. George would find this very insulting.

@liam09: I’m sure George has a larger brain than the typical Obamaton.

It amazes me that Obamanation followers think they have an accurate picture of what torture is when their own Dear Leader can’t even make a truthful statement about it:

Looks Like He Made It Up

In his press conference Wednesday evening, Barack Obama invoked Winston Churchill in support of his anti-waterboarding position, quoting Churchill to the effect that “we don’t torture,” even during the extremities of World War II. We expressed skepticism about Obama’s invocation of Churchill here. Now, Churchill student Richard Langworth confirms that Obama was wrong:

In his press conference of 29 April, in response to a question on the disclosure of top secret memos on the use of “enhanced interrogation methods,” Mr. Obama said:

I was struck by an article that I was reading the other day talking about the fact that the British during World War II, when London was being bombed to smithereens, had 200 or so detainees. And Churchill said, ‘We don’t torture,’ when the entire British–all of the British people–were being subjected to unimaginable risk and threat….the reason was that Churchill understood — you start taking shortcuts, over time, that corrodes what’s best in a people. It corrodes the character of a country.

While it’s nice to hear the President invoke Sir Winston, the quotation is unattributed and almost certainly incorrect. While Churchill did express such sentiments with regard to prison inmates, he said no such thing about prisoners of war, enemy combatants or terrorists, who were in fact tortured by British interrogators during World War II.

The word “torture” appears 156 times in my digital transcript of Churchill’s 15 million published words (books, articles, speeches, papers) and 35 million words about him–but not once in the subject context. Similarly, key phrases like “character of a country” or “erodes the character” do not track. …

Churchill spoke frequently about torture, mostly enemy murders of civilians. His daughter once told me, “He would have done anything to win the war, and I daresay he had to do some pretty rough things–but they didn’t unman him.” But if Churchill is on record about “enhanced interrogation,” his words have yet to surface.

Obama apparently relied on left-wing internet crank Andrew Sullivan for the fake Churchill quote, which is a bit worrisome in itself.”

Not to mention he doesn’t have the courage to release the documents that PROVE the interrogations saved American lives. Now I don’t know where RAP and Myname and the rest of the left were on 9-11, they were probably there in Times Square screaming for retribution like so many others, but I do know that day was torture that results in thousands of deaths. There is no “moral high ground” in setting up another American city and thousands more American lives for that kind of torture.

On a totally off topic note: Mike – I have one of those greenwings you picture @29 – he’s an independent 😉 And so are my 3 African Greys. All of them can sing God Bless America and holler USA! USA! at the slightest prompting 😉

How would Liberals obtain information from Jihadist’s? To see another example of a Liberal interrogation technique, click here.

After reading some of the comments praising the correctness, worthiness and efficacy of torture, I am reminded that it’s no challenge for sociopaths to hold conservative views.

Do any of the flopping aces have intimate, loving relationships with anyone? Or do you just flop around in your pjs and bunny slippers, sipping coffee by day and slugging vodka at night. I suspect you’re a pathetic, lonely band of misanthropes.

@rockybutte: It’s an undeniable FACT that waterboarding THREE TERRORISTS provided the information that saved American lives.

Your snarky, bitter comment simply reveals the emptiness of the left that cannot even discuss this question in a mature, intellectually honest fashion.

Crawl back under your rock.

Somebody wrote “teensy weensy.” I’m crackin’ up! But they are right. We shouldn’t torture. So this is what I would do if I were a CIA interrogator. On Thanksgiving day, I would serve the terror suspect, oops, I mean detainee a Thanksgiving dinnner with all the trimmings accept, ready? Gravy!. I’m telling you turkey and stuffing without gravy is a fate worse than any enhanced interrogation could ever be. Give me waterboarding any

day!. Man. No gravy? That’s like a banana split without whipped cream. I can’t stand it! I’ll tell!!!
