[Philosoraptor]

transcript to be added later for clarification and believability

[Philosoraptor]

1. who attacked us? what did they want? is there a second wave coming?

[Generic Other]

2. transcript

Blah blah blah September 11. Nightmare...boxcutters...sirplanes turned into missiles...twin towers...dangerous new world...horrified...fears...

[bowens43]

3. FEAR FEAR FEAR FEAR FEAR FEAR FEAR

[Philosoraptor]

4. he's already yelling-- we're thankful the terrists have not attacked us

[liberal N proud]

5. 9/11 - Iraq - Terra - Repeat!

[Philosoraptor]

6. He's speaking to his own cabinet?

[Generic Other]

11. did Karen Hughes write this dreck of a speech?

terrorists still active trying to strike America and kill our people...one reason they have not attacked due to government...another reason because government has changed policies giving tools to fight terrorists, preserve freedom...terrorists wear no uniforms...operate in shadows of society...conspire in secret...strike without warning...important to understand kind of people held at Guantanamo...suspected bombmakers, terrorist trainers, potential suicide bombers...

He's freakin' whining because he can't pre-emptively torture prisoners.

[goclark]

39. He fits the description of a terrorist

he should be Arrested!

"terrorists wear no uniforms...operate in shadows of society...conspire in secret...strike without warning...important to understand kind of people held at Guantanamo."

[Philosoraptor]

7. captured terrists have knowledge-- and only torture will reveal it

[tandot]

15. "...only torture will reveal it" ... He really said that???

Interrogation experts disagree.

I guess Bush doesn't have to listen to experts and can just ignore science and facts. After all, he is the dictator.

[Philosoraptor]

29. paraphrasing. but this seems to be the central point

probably because of today's supreme court rulings calling for geneva convention rights, he wants looser torture laws

[Philosoraptor]

34. we're gittin' valyabull infermation from torturin the terrists

[cc488is]

79. The Supremes issued another ruling today?

On what, exactly? I thought the session was over?

[KyndCulture]

[Philosoraptor]

12. i will kill your mother, your brother and your sisters...(terrists)

[Joanne98]

17. I will kill your dog, cat and goldfish too! GULP!

[Philosoraptor]

23. I'll get you my pretty, and your little dog too! ahh ha ha haaa

[Joanne98]

88. No you won't cause Toto will bite you. Auntie Em Auntie Em!

[Philosoraptor]

14. Osama bin Laden? we caught one of his top operatives

[MADem]

16. If anyone was doing a drinking game using NAHN WUN WUN

Terra, Terrist, Osama Bin LAYdin, ZooBAYdah...any single ONE of those words, they'd be passed out shitfaced by now.

[Philosoraptor]

18. we had no information that nine eleven was coming

[gratuitous]

43. No information that September 11th was coming?

Calendars are apparently verboten in the White House.

Or was he saying that there was no warning, you know, like a PDB saying something like "Bin Laden determined to strike in the United States." No information at all. It's not like Al Qaeda gave out the names and addresses of the guys involved, or notified Bush personally of the flight numbers (at least so far as we know). That kind of work is too hard, evidently.

[Philosoraptor]

19. he's actually calling for looser torture laws

[kurth]

20. They will invade America and make everyone grow beards and wear burkas

and stick their butts in the air three times a day.

WE CAN'T ALLOW THAT TO HAPPEN.

[Joanne98]

21. I can't tell you because it would let the terra know how to defeat us!

[Philosoraptor]

22. yeah, we can't let em know how to do that

[Joanne98]

26. I'll tell you all of their Arabic names... But you can't SEE them!

[Skidmore]

24. This idiot believe he's a character in a spy movie.

He's getting his jollies off of all this skullduggery and secret agent stuff.

[gumby]

33. Seems that way to me.

Looks like a kid in a candy store.

[Generic Other]

25. Torture is an American value

Using torture allowed CIA to save "innocent lives by stopping new attacks detainees might have launched."

Zubaydah a terrorist who was wounded severely and we saved him. The ingrate hated us for it. He revealed Sheik Mohammed's nickname during interrogation. Pumped for further info, but he stopped talking. Resisted interrogation so CIA used alternative procedures to get info from him. Lawful said DOJ. Can't describe the procedures or the terrorists will learn to resist...

[Philosoraptor]

31. alternative procedures. dr. mengele, its for you

[gumby]

27. Smirk-a-thon!!!!!

He is smirking up a storm. Seems like he's having a grand ol time.

Smirk. Smirk. Smirk. Smirk. Smirk.

[Joanne98]

28. ANTHRAX!

[KyndCulture]

30. BOOOOOGA BOOOOOOGA.

He's already got the freeps fired up.

He's given so many new arab names their heads are exploding with fear.

[Philosoraptor]

37. he's got the balls to mention ANTHRAX?

[Virginia Dare]

92. Yeah, how's the investigation into that going Chimpy?

any leads lately? :eyes:

[Joanne98]

32. ANTHRAX ATTACKS AGAINST THE UNITED STATES!

[Joanne98]

35. Motorcycle bombs!

[Fridays Child]

36. Did anyone catch the glint in his eye as he said, "KSM was questioned...

...using these procedures?"

Thinking about the pain caused to these people actually makes him gleeful.

[Solly Mack]

38. He damn sure is promoting just that

[Philosoraptor]

40. this program of torture is cool, only the best trained can torture terrist

[Philosoraptor]

THE UNITED STATES DOES NOT TORTURE, I DON'T SUPPORT IT

[librechik]

47. however, "certain other methods" which "cause no harm" (waterboarding)

were applied...accidentally 30 or so prisoners died under the harmless treatment, but it was accidental and the "PRESIDENT" must have that power!

[gumby]

53. I can't believe he said that!!!

liarliarliarliarliarliarliarliarliar

[librechik]

41. he's righteously angry, that's why he MUST torture!

the captives wouldn't tell them the info that was needed!

trying to convince us his "war" has just cause.


WHAT A CROCK!!!

[Philosoraptor]

44. Daddy! they won't let me torture people!

[Joanne98]

42. NSA/ ROVE spying on American's program. HAS SAVED LIVES!

[Philosoraptor]

46. wiretapping and torture are really necessary to fight the bla bla bla

[Skidmore]

45. If Congress supports this, they should be voted out, both sides of the

aisle. Gaddummit! What a sick bunch of hooey! Bet he can't get them to take this up before the election.

[Joanne98]

48. Military commissions to TRY WAR CRIMINALS!

[Generic Other]

49. Torturing war criminals gets us vital information

How dare anyone act like it's bad?

Nearly every detained senior member of Al Q interrogated by CIA BEFORE they killed.

Connect the dots and stop attacks before they occur.

Program the most vital tool to war on terror.

Torture saves lives.

Torture complies with laws.

CIA leader has oversight of torure program.

High level leaders on Capital Hill briefed on torture program.

250 hours of torture training before torturers allowd access to prisoners.

US does not "torture" anyone but our enemies and those who might become our enemies.

[Philosoraptor]

51. naming names--I throwed em all inta GITMO..HUGE APPLAUSE

[Philosoraptor]

52. STANDING FUCKING OVATION FROM THE GHOULS

[Philosoraptor]

56. APPLAUSE APPLAUSE APPLAUSE from the neo con luminaries

[librechik]

57. standing ovation for justice for the 9/11 victims

which this policy will not achieve

[Elwood P Dowd]

64. "and those who might become our enemies?"

WTF!

[Joanne98]

50. He wants Congress to pass a George Bush is Gawd bill. NO NO NO!

[librechik]

62. these bills have secret "no war crime prosecution" language

that's why the big push. It's a smokescreen to hide that.

[Generic Other]

54. Has Bush uttered the "Osama" word yet?

Odd ommission.

[Philosoraptor]

58. we captured and tortured Osama's bodyguard/driver

[Joanne98]

55. Habeus Corpus is the Enemy of America! There it is!

[Up2Late]

59. Even just listening on the radio is disgusting!

Man, does he SUCK or what!?!

[Skidmore]

60. How the fuck (pardon) do you presume that someone is innocent

why you are torturing them? Is not torture a form of punishment? This type of logic certainly is tortured.

[gumby]

61. This is MY country?????

Those at the highest levels are holding a hate rally right there on the teevee.

[Fridays Child]

63. Who were those guys walking behind him? That was strange.

[Philosoraptor]

65. Gitmo prison is better than the prison in my country, oh brother

[Philosoraptor]

66. Life saving torture-- the supreme court has impaired our ability to tortur

[Joanne98]

70. LOL!

[Philosoraptor]

67. our torturers could get arrested for war crimes, this is unacceptable

[Philosoraptor]

69. america owes our soldiers clear rules to continya to do their jobs

[Philosoraptor]

71. congress must list specific rules of torture-- i can't fucking believeit

[Skidmore]

76. Time to hammer Congress. We are not a nation of torturers...

We can do better than this. ANY Congressperson voting for this type of crap deserves to be tossed out.

[Joanne98]

68. This is UNACCEPTABLE!

[Skidmore]

72. Sounds like they let the greater majority of these people go free

without charges of any type. How can he stand there and caterwaul about the torturers going up agains the "most dangerous people in the world?"

[Joanne98]

87. Sent back to their home countries so WE CAN"T SEE THEM!

Really. How do we know these people even exist?

[Generic Other]

73. New Army Field Manual to be released today?

To allow additional torture techniques to be developed at Gitmo?

Only 770 prisoners ever held at Gitmo. Treated as well as the Army soldiers guarding them. A model prison!

We will torture anyone we want...will continue to operate as we have...CIA will continue to interrogate new prisoners.

Forced to disclose info so we can try them. Also Supreme Court dared rule in favor of Geneva Convention, siding with terrorists. Judges interpreting law have endangered US torturers by refusing to defend their actions when they are in danger of being accused of war crimes under international law...Congress needs to list what torture will be allowed...

[Joanne98]

74. Lawsuits filed by terraists.... (or Democrats)

[Philosoraptor]

75. passing torture legislation is the top priority APPLAUSE

[Philosoraptor]

77. historians will call this THE TORTURE SPEECH

[Generic Other]

78. Update our laws to condone TORTURE

Civilized world...nation of laws...make torture legal...how hard is that?

[Philosoraptor]

[Joanne98]

81. Free nations that face new enemias ... (fart)

[Generic Other]

83. You are right Philoso, THE TORTURE SPEECH

[Ganja Ninja]

84. Why not? Every time he speaks he's torturing me.

:sarcasm:

[Cobalt-60]

86. Intolerable

Where do they get these people?

[Joanne98]

90. LOL! I know what you mean.

[gumby]

89. "THE TORTURE SPEECH"

Unbelievable.
The talking heads on MSGOP are talking quite calmly about Bush's performance. Nothing to see here, move along; but be very, very afraid. And remember that George Bush will save you and the Democrats will let the terra-ists win.

[Joanne98]

91. Kara supports torturing her sister-inlaw!

[gumby]

93. Haha

Torture, after all, IS the new American Idol. Wonder when the fashion mags will start reflecting this new American ideal?

[newspeak]

94. and this, my friends is how we go down that slippery slope

if the Patriot Act gives this administration leeway in who is tagged as a terrorist or terrorist sympathizer, we go down a slippery slope--very, very Hitleresque. As Hitler labeled who the enemies of the state were, so can this administration. One day it's those Islamo-fascists, then homosexuals, then liberals, then those libertarians, then anyone, absolutely anyone who doesn't agree with their policies--including repugs. They're setting the stage for acquiring more power, more secrecy--going against the rule of law-against the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, against the Geneva Convention. If another attack hits this country, we may see full power grab, martial law-they've been breaking down every safeguard our country has against totalitarianism--* is becoming scarier in his speeches. These last two have shades of fascism interlaced with fear and bullying.

[Disturbed]

95. We must not appease the tyranny of the Busholini Regime!

American Civil Liberties Union

The CIA is engaging in an unlawful practice – "extraordinary rendition" – abducting foreign nationals for detention and interrogation in secret overseas ...
