Holy crap on a stick! Take a look at this guy. Congressman Rangel, from NEW YORK is talking about intense interrogation tactics used by us as being wrong. So when Bill O’Reilly starts talking about Khalid Sheikh Mohammed , admitted mastermind of the September 11th attacks, and the information that he gave up about other al qaeda members, this congressman actually uses the term "so-called terrorists." Then, unbelievably, when Bill calls him on it, he dances around the subject.
This is the main difference between Republicans and Democrats. Republicans will call it like they see it and will defend this country using any tactics necessary to do so. Democrats SAY they will be tough on terrorists, but then Congressman Rangel undermines himself and shows his and other Democrats true colors by using the phrase "so-called terrorists". He's not even sure who he's dealing with. He'd rather have people dead, in HIS OWN STATE HE REPRESENTS, then use intensive interrogation techniques that leave no marks, no scars, and causes no pain. For those of you who don't know, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed subjected to a technique called Waterboarding. The person is made to believe that drowning is imminent and usually begs for it to stop. Khalid lasted 2 minutes during a round of waterboarding. This is an extremely long time for such a technique, as many people subjected to it last only a few seconds.
This begs the question, without Waterboarding, how does one think that they'll get information about upcoming terrorist attacks and al qaeda members? Do the Democrats really believe that a simple "please" will get information out of these people? These people want you dead. They want your families dead. It's not a simple, "we need to look at our foreign policies" bit. If our foreign policies were so horrible, then why do we have Arab allies? If it was so horrible, EVERYONE would be against us in the Middle East. Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Jordan, are all allies of ours, and they are subjected to the same foreign policies that other countries who hate us are.
Osama Bin Laden has publicly stated that if we leave Islamic people alone, then he'll leave us alone. Well if that's the case, why isn't Osama kissing the ground we walk upon, because we defended Islamic people from Saddam Hussein in the first Gulf War? We prevented Saddam from furthering his agenda of conquering the Middle East, and what do we get in return? Hatred of us.
Now look at what I've done. I've gone off and went all over the map in my little rant.
