Obama's plans for probing Bush torture

President Bush could pardon officials involved in brutal interrogations -- but he may also face a sweeping investigation under the new president.

    @terkoy -- Actually it wasn't Bush

    "future generations should reflect on how Bush and Cheney protected us and prevented subsequent attacks." -- terkoy

    Actually Terkoy, I can't hide it anymore, it was me. I'm the one that protected us against subsequent attacks. Okay, I wanted it to look like Bush, but you were too clever, you figured me out. Actually it wasn't just me, it was a lot of other people too-- I had a lot of help. We all pitched in, got together every couple of weekends, held hands and sang Kum By Ya a lot....

    You know... you and your ILK go to a lot of trouble to try and convince people that UP is DOWN, WET is DRY, and BLUE is GREEN when actually UP is UP, WET is WET, and BLUE _IS_ BLUE (so fuck you too-- it rhymes, conveniently).

    You can't prove a negative. For all you know it was the Los Angeles Lakers that prevented terrorist attacks on America for the last eight years.

    I'll ask you this-- when have you (or anybody else) __EVER__ seen Bush or his admonistration act INTELLIGENTLY and DECISIVELY and EXPRESS LEADERERSHIP on __anything__ (Katrina anyone???) (DHS???) (TSA???) (Anything at all????) Feel free to shout it right out when you know...

    And you want us to believe (swallow?) that BUSH is responsible for there not being any terrorist attacks on the US during his administration?

    How about the terrorists JUST DIDN'T FEEL LIKE IT? (Afterall, they DID bomb London and Madrid and a number of OTHER places around the country). Or perhaps they were just having TOO MUCH FUN IN IRAQ and didn't want to break away from the party... Maybe they were just BORED at tossing bombs at America. Perhaps they were too busy LAUGHING at the Bush admonistration's pitiful attempts to govern itself out of a wet paper bag? Maybe they were ASTONISHED that the Bush Admonistration was doing a FAR BETTER JOB of DESTROYING AMERICA than they ever could in their wildest WET DREAMS??? Maybe they've been AWESTRUCK by George Bush, "the Great Satan" and have been too overcome to act. Maybe they've been busy SCRATCHING THEIR HEADS for the past eight years wondering why if they attacked us from AFGHANISTAN, __WHY__ in the world we're attacking them back in IRAQ!!?!?!?!?!

    Actually, it was Barbara Streisand who saved us all from terrorist attacks. They knew that one more thing-- anything at all-- and she'd give them "that look" (and sue them in civil court also for good measure).

    Prove me wrong.
