George W. Bush "Read my lips, We* Don't Torture*"

by Walid

Unconfirmed Sources report the President is fighting to defend America's peaceful, humane and "Christian" values. In his Rose garden speech, the President blasted Democrats and "rebel" Republicans for not supporting his planned kangaroo courts and relaxed rules on torture. His closing statement echoed the famous words of his father, George Bush Sr., "Read my lips, We* don't Torture" After the speech, White House staffers circulated an internal memo clarifying the Presidents' statements, and defining Administrations' positions on the Geneva conventions, inhumane treatment, and the definition of torture. WE : We does not include the following US government officials, offices and departments. George W. Bush, Alberto Gonzales, Donald Rumsfeld, General Michael V. Hayden, Dick Cheney, CIA agents and operatives, US troops serving in Iraq, Afghanistan and locations inside and outside the USA. John D. Negroponte and/or countries and persons operating at the request of the US government. DON'T : Actually means we "DO" but as we pretend to be "Christians" and this is an election year the world "DO" has been replaced with "Don't". TORTURE* : The Bush administrations' definition of torture excludes all items mentioned in article 3 of the geneva convention. The Bush Administration has clarified that the following interrogation techniques are not considered "torture": Water boarding, hooding, exposure to extreme cold/heat, starvation, isolation, sexual humiliation, mutilation , beating, stress positions and otherwise inhuman and degrading treatment.

Unconfirmed Sources political satire and news story parodies as represented above are written as satire or parody. They are, of course, fictitious.

There is an obvious conflict of ideaology here, which is the topical scrum of a lie that began most of this tangled web. I see the problem as the war in Iraq being unjustistified and under false pretense(duh): liberation, freedom ect. So this type of behavior is outright contrary to our initial motives( even if they were lies). On the other hand, the AlQueda shows no nobility, or civil character as soldiers, and it doesn't bother me in the least to see them treated with the same barbarism that they have bestowed on the rest of the world. The greatest problem with legalizing this distinction is that people generally don't trust the government to uphold any more moral constructs than it has already fractured. God Bless America and save us from our government.

Drew,

I think I agree with you? Do I?

Many soldiers have sacrificed their lives in many wars so that we in the West could attempt to live according to high standards. Democratically. Humanely. With freedom.

Now, in the name of protecting it's citizens, the Bush government has decided all those sacrifices are fine for soldiers, but no sacrifice should be required of the citizenry. Bush assumes that Americans will always choose safety over principle. He is wrong about this. The pendulum has begun its swing away from his way of thinking.

If there is a ticking bomb, and Americans need to make the choice between torturing or braving it - they too must make the sacrifice. Otherwise, what is there to save? Only cowardice - and it's not worth the trouble anyway.

My United States

As glarering as the rising sun,
My United States in no longer a Lighthouse.

As gaping as inflicted wounds,
My country is an Animal.

As despairing as an open pit,
My heart is Bleeding.
