[Troll Torture dismissal Form-Comment, I keep this handy since it always comes up]

Many Diaries exist see here covering all that including how water-boarding is NOT torture and the UN agreement the US is part of, how Democrats still do NOT pass a law to declare it such and/or PROHIBIT it (even as an EIT), the memos diversion, and on and on…

Again, if you want it to be known as Torture your lefty loons in Congress could so make it so by passing a new Law stating that it would now be considered Torture… They have NOT attempted to do so since they took power in 2006… Nor will they now… They know it is a LOSER and they will NOT give up the EIT’s under a Democrat despite their BS rhetoric about it. You waste time and space with that easily refuted crap and we are NOT going to waste our time when we’ve covered it countless times already (see the above link to other RS links).

There are many Diaries here at RedState that already refute all the Democrat Talking-points contentions and I am sorry but I do not have the time to cover that ground again. A simple google search within RedState will yield that information and I invite you, and hope you will, look over the many thoughtful Articles that provide some additional Facts, Quotes, Links, etc, (on top of this one and maybe even some from the same author of the Diary this conversation is taking place in) on this topic and/or the things you (parroted) brought up (Election Issues recap [with links]).

TRY AND STAY ON TOPIC IN THIS ONE!!

PELOSI LIED, AND TERRORISTS DRIED (off after being non-tortured by water-boarding… and Pelosi knew all along)

If he failed to do that – *lame*. Fail.

Shouldn’t Congress (and House) critters lying to America be a crime? Wait wasn’t she essentially telling Congress a lie?
Could she be convicted of a felony offense and tossed out of the House for that?
Oh…. wait a second… forgot that Congresscritters and the like consider lying to everyone else a sport…

how the Iraq War would have unfolded with a decent guy like Martin Frost as leader of the Democrats. Not to blame Pelosi for all of our problems in the Mideast. But now we have proof of her engaging in craven opportunism on the issue of waterboarding. It’s worth considering the damage her posturing has done to our nation’s image abroad.

This is not just another case of a politician lying.

Note to David Brooks: this is what we mean when we call Pelosi a “San Francisco liberal”. The City is proudly out of touch with mainstream American values, like supporting our troops. It is the “Blame America First” city.

There are some decent people in SF. But they’re all isolated from the levers of power.

Bush stuck to his guns throughout his presidency, and steadfastly pursued what he thought was right.

Of course, hindsight is 20/20, and so, sitting comfortably in front of our screens, it’s easy to say that we should have employed the Paetreus strategy of a greater emphasis on the security of the Iraqi people backed by the “surge” of troops to maintain a constant presence in key Iraqi neighborhoods and cities.

Fortunately for the 50 million freed Iraqis, and for the free world as a whole, Pelosi was merely nuisance compared to the stalwart Bush in the critical dark hours of the Iraq war.

Unfortunately, she and her ilk are in a position to do damage to more than just our “image” today.

Wayne Simmons is a Former CIA Operative, and Intelligence and Terrorism analyst. He sits on the Advisory Council for the Intelligence Summit, is a contributor to the conservative publication Human Events. He was recruited by the CIA in 1973 while in the U.S. Navy. He became part of an Outside Paramilitary Special Operations Group where he spent 8 of his 27 year career working against Narco Terrorists and was one of the first outside Intelligence officers to visit GITMO (Guantanamo Bay, Cuba) in July, 2005 and again in July, 2006.

Nancy Pelosi served on, and was the ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee until her election as Minority Leader of the House prior to becoming Speaker.

Simmons told Fox News on Live television that; “Nancy Pelosi … is a pathological liar.”

Barack Obama kicked an ant-hill with his ill-advised and politically-motivated release of the Bush Administration’s EIT memos.

Let’s have some hearings and get it all out there- shall we? Then watch and see how all the rats scatter that were well-aware of what was going on, and condoned it with their silence for five years… but subsequently demonized George W Bush for such techniques when the interrogations were made public.

As an aside, I was talking to a Twenty-something last week and he used the term “Baracking” as a complementary expression. I detest the idea of using that as a term expressing approval. I have started using the term “Baracking” as a verb. My definition is: To Barack; to mislead in a deceitful or hypocritical manner. Therefore Nancy isn’t lying, she’s Baracking. Words enter the language all the time, it would be nice if the conservative community could get out front on this word and sway the meaning to our point of view.
