The enemy will adapt

[johnnydrama]

I was going over this in my mind a bit, and I realized something pretty funny.

On the Today show, Matt Lauer was grilling * on torture techniques like waterboarding, and * was saying we won't discuss
any techniques because the enemy will adapt.

And I was running that through my mind, and thinking to myself, what does he mean by adapt, does he mean they'll
grow gills or something?

What a moronic thing to say. Does he even listen to the questions asked, or does he just say what's next on his
talking point list.

I laugh at those people who think the President isn't dumb. Yes, he's that dumb!

1. You can not adapt to torture,

:grr:

You can be taught to resist it but that only goes so far....

2. The jokes on the American people. The administration gets to make any

stupid statements it wants to and the MSM has no who will hold them accountable.

3. Current White House Rhetorical (Avoidance) Tactic

Cheney pulled the same phrases on Tweety on Sunday... can't/won't talk about, uh, techniques (never mention the word torture) because they will adapt... (sure they will). Just a way to clam up without saying the words "no comment" which sound 'guilty'.

4. Of course they will adapt.

Any enemy will. The Germans and Japanese did during WWII. Using "the enemy will adapt" rational is a bit like saying; "the paint will be a different color once it dries".

You can be taught to resist torture, but in the end you will either break or die.

As for "I laugh at those people who think the President isn't dumb. Yes, he's that dumb!":

It's not the President that's dumb, it's the people that hear that, nod their heads, and agree that are the real dummies.

5. Exactly. Bush isn't so dumb....

He's smarter than anyone that voted for him.
