  • these guys are such frauds

    You know, if you really are "deeply conflicted" over something, especially something as serious as war and torture, the mature, serious, sensible, adult, and appropriate thing to do is to not do it until you are no longer deeply conflicted. You know, hash all these things out, and proceed if you are totally sure of the correctness of your actions.

    But of course, that is now how they operate. They always play the "deeply conflicted" card to pretend like they are serious, mature, and understand that which they are supporting, but they always then say that because they are so conflicted it is only prudent to do exactly what Dick Cheney wants. Funny how it always works out that way.
