5. lol! Same thought crossed my mind. It's funny...on one level

but then you get to how warped the underlying "I was a POW so make me president" thinking is

Torture of Americans - bad

Torture of other people - good

Torture of Americans - a crime

Torture of other people - a matter of national security

Torture is torture when done against an American

The exact same torture becomes frat pranks and enhanced interrogation techniques when done against other people

Being tortured makes you a hero and qualified for President...if you're an American

If you're not American...then you got what you deserved


McCain's "I was a POW" thing is truly pathetic...truly sad....and truly telling

6. Letting Americans get eaten by alligators appears to be good in

the Bush-Cheney handbook of governing, too.

Get ready for Katrina II.

7. Yes....some Americans matter...and some just have to die

so the ones that matter can exploit those deaths

[valerief]

8. Oh, the anguish the privileged must feel to have to induce war and

other disasters. However, it is the duty of their class to keep order in the world. Noblesse oblige and all.

9. They live to serve

The burdens they carry....
