Verbal gymnastics: White House security adviser … uhhh … uhhhh … defends Obama’s terror policies

White House Security Adviser Tom Donilon showed up on Fox News Sunday and quickly painted himself into a very tiny corner.

White House Security Adviser Tom Donilon showed up on Fox News Sunday and quickly painted himself into a very tiny corner.

He did what he was sent out to do – defend President Obama’s contradictory terror policies – but made himself look remarkably foolish in the process.

Donilon parroted the Obama administration line that waterboarding Khalid Sheikh Mohammad was against our American values, but didn’t have an answer when host Chris Wallace asked him to explain how that jibed with shooting Osama in the head.

Nice work, Chris.

We may have to waterboard Jay Carney to get him to admit that waterboarding helped us get Bin Laden

White House Press Secretary Jay Carney, the only man in Washington, DC who could make us miss Robert Gibbs, put on quite a performance Tuesday.

White House Press Secretary Jay Carney, the only man in Washington, DC who could make us miss Robert Gibbs, put on quite a performance Tuesday.

One reporter asked if enhanced interrogation techniques – otherwise known as waterboarding – had provided us with information that lead us to Osama Bin Laden’s lair.

Carney refused to answer the question directly, insisting that we got the information from a number of sources.

Can waterboarding force a congenital liar to tell the truth? Carney virtually begs to be the subject of a scientific investigation.

Historic: Joy Behar speaks the dumbest words ever spoken on The View

joy Behar claimed, “there are other ways of getting information out of people . . . pay them off!” Ms. Behar said offering a terrorist a “$6 million book deal” may work just as well as waterboarding them.

We know what you’re thinking. Is it really possible to determine which of the many stupid things said on The View is the stupidest? But we think you’ll agree that this one deserves the superlative description.

Fox Nation reveals Behar’s buffoonery:

“The View” ladies discussed the effectiveness of coercive interrogation today and Joy Behar claimed, “there are other ways of getting information out of people . . . pay them off!” Ms. Behar said offering a terrorist a “$6 million book deal” may work just as well as waterboarding them. Sherri Shepherd interrupted and passionately defended CIA agents who do what’s necessary to protect average citizens . . . which actually ignited a hearty ovation from left-leaning “View” crowd.

We should convince terrorists to talk by giving them a book deal? Like we said, the stupidest thing ever said on The View, surpassing the former record holder, Whoopi Goldberg’s comment that Roman Polanski’s crime wasn’t rape rape.

Congratulations to Ms Behar. This is the TV equivalent of breaking Babe Ruth’s homerun record.

Ahhh, the good ol’ days: Back when Obama & Biden said waterboarding didn’t work

Oops. Turns out waterboarding does work and we initially learned the the identify of the courier who lead us to Osama Bin Laden from Sheikh Khalid Mohammed during a waterboarding session.

Oops. Turns out waterboarding does work and we initially learned the the identify of the courier who lead us to Osama Bin Laden from Sheikh Khalid Mohammed during a waterboarding session.

Here’s what then Senator Obama said about waterboarding back in October 2007:

“The secret authorization of brutal interrogations is an outrageous betrayal of our core values, and a grave danger to our security. We must do whatever it takes to track down and capture or kill terrorists, but torture is not a part of the answer – it is a fundamental part of the problem with this administration’s approach. Torture is how you create enemies, not how you defeat them. Torture is how you get bad information, not good intelligence. Torture is how you set back America’s standing in the world, not how you strengthen it.”

And here’s an equally incensed Senator Joe Biden saying the same thing on Face The Nation:


Biden on Waterboarding by hotairpundit

Will Obama and Biden now retract their statements and admit that Bush’s policies worked?

Don’t hold your breath. Unless you’re being waterboarded, that is.

Americans say, “Waterboard the son of a bitch”

American voters want to break out the waterboard for Nigerian underpants bomber Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab. Or worse. Whatever it takes to get him to spill his guts.

We'll volunteer to conduct the waterboard interrogation. So would lots of other Americans.

American voters want to break out the waterboard for Nigerian underpants bomber Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab. Or worse. Whatever it takes to get him to spill his guts.

Rasmussen reports the demoralizing details for Democrats:

Fifty-eight percent (58%) of U.S. voters say waterboarding and other aggressive interrogation techniques should be used to gain information from the terrorist who attempted to bomb an airliner on Christmas Day.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that just 30% oppose the use of such techniques, and another 12% are not sure.

Men and younger voters are more strongly supportive of the aggressive interrogation techniques than women and those who are older. Republicans and voters not affiliated with either major party favor their use more than Democrats.

Seventy-one percent (71%) of all voters think the attempt by the Nigerian Muslim to blow up the airliner as it landed in Detroit should be investigated by military authorities as a terrorist act. Only 22% say it should be handled by civilian authorities as a criminal act, as is currently the case.

We’d say squeeze his nuts in a vise until he coughs up everything he knows. Unfortunately, that won’t be possible because his own pork and beans were the only thing this moron damaged in his attempted attack.

We don’t need Jack Bauer here. We need Oscar Meyer.

North Korean defector would like to show Nancy Pelosi what real torture looks like

Anyone who wants to call waterboarding torture should talk to Bang Mi-Sun about real torture
Anyone who wants to call waterboarding torture should talk to Bang Mi-Sun about real torture

A shocking story of real torture was told in Washington, DC on Wednesday. It went completely unreported by the biased liberal media that wants you to believe waterboarding somehow rises to the level of torture.

Here’s how Chosun Korea tells the story of Bang Mi-Sun:

There were gasps in the audience at a press conference by female North Korean defectors in Washington, D.C. on Wednesday when Bang Mi-Sun rolled up her black skirt and showed the deep ugly scars in her thighs. The event was part of North Korea Freedom Week.

As soon as she was asked to recount her life in a North Korean concentration camp, Bang (55) stepped on a chair and roll up her skirt. Various parts of her thighs were sunken as if the flesh had been gouged out. She also walks with a limp.

Bang had formerly been an actress with the propaganda squad of the Musan Mine. She fled the North with her children when her husband starved to death in 2002, but soon fell victim to human traffickers. She was arrested by Chinese police and was sent back to the North, where she was tortured. In 2004, she escaped again.

Nancy Pelosi immediately demanded congressional hearings to determine if Dick Cheney had authorized North Korea’s enhanced interrogation techniques.

Pelosi tortures the truth: She was fully-briefed on waterboarding in 2002

Sgt Schultz knew nothing, but Nancy Pelosi claims to know even less.
Sgt Schultz knew nothing, but Nancy Pelosi claims to know even less.
Once again, Democrat Nancy Pelosi lies and the truth dies.

According to a report from the Director of National Intelligence, Democrat House Speaker Pelosi was fully-briefed on the use of “enhanced interrogation techniques” way back in September of 2002.

Of course, this flies in the face of Pelosi’s subsequent statement that she knew nothing about waterboarding or any other “enhanced interrogation techniques.”

What? How could this be? A Pelosi spokesman said Madame Speaker thought the techniques were legal and, my oh my, she never knew waterboarding was used.

“As this document shows, the speaker was briefed only once, in September 2002,” the spokesman said. “The briefers described these techniques, said they were legal, but said that waterboarding had not yet been used.”

Pelosi wants to establish an independent commission to investigate anyone and everyone involved in the drafting the of interrogation methods. Everyone who has an (R) after their name, that is.

Question: How can you tell when Nancy Pelosi is lying? Answer: She moves her lips.

Former CIA chief Goss calls Pelosi “a shameless liar”

Former CIA Director Porter Goss came out blasting about waterboarding last Friday. Contrary to what Pelosi says on this video clip, there’s no question about what she knew nor when she knew it.

Here’s the statement from Goss. It’s remarkably unlike the diplomatic pablum normally served up in Washington, DC:

Today, I am slack-jawed to read that members claim to have not understood that the techniques on which they were briefed were to actually be employed; or that specific techniques such as “waterboarding” were never mentioned. It must be hard for most Americans of common sense to imagine how a member of Congress can forget being told about the interrogations of Sept. 11 mastermind Khalid Sheik Mohammed. In that case, though, perhaps it is not amnesia but political expedience.

Let me be clear. It is my recollection that:

– The chairs and the ranking minority members of the House and Senate intelligence committees, known as the Gang of Four, were briefed that the CIA was holding and interrogating high-value terrorists.

– We understood what the CIA was doing.

– We gave the CIA our bipartisan support.

– We gave the CIA funding to carry out its activities.

– On a bipartisan basis, we asked if the CIA needed more support from Congress to carry out its mission against al-Qaeda.

I do not recall a single objection from my colleagues.

When Goss refers to the ranking Democratic member on the House intel committee, he means none other than Pelosi.

Pelosi’s video is the least sincere sounding denial to come out of Washington, DC since Bill Clinton said, “I did not have sex with that woman.”

California congressman jumps all over Hillary Clinton

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was testifying in Congress yesterday. It wasn’t pretty.

When long-time conservative California Congressman Dana Rohrabacher asked her about former Vice President Dick Cheney’s request to release additional CIA interrogation documents, Hillary tried to deflect the question by saying, “I don’t find him to be a particularly reliable source of information.”

Rohrabacher jumped on her like a bulldog on a bone. It was a thing of beauty. What Rohrabacher did, not Hillary.

“Mademe Secretary, I asked you a specific question…we’re not asking your opinion of Dick Cheney…you want to maintain your credibility with us, what is your opinion on the release of those documents”

The woman didn’t answer, wouldn’t answer, couldn’t answer, all of the above.

Video: Reporter gets waterboarded for his story, doesn’t like it

You’ve read a lot about waterboarding. You’ve heard a lot about waterboarding. But have you ever seen someone actually waterboarded?

We hadn’t until we saw this video. Playboy reporter Mike Guy got the unenviable assignment to experience waterboarding personally, which probably makes him the first guy who ever considered working for Playboy to be torture.

Turns out waterboarding is nothing like we expected and it’s definitely nothing like tough talking Mike Guy expected.

Headline of the Day
“Waterboarding Used on 9/11 Mastermind 183 Times”

waterboarding2Wikipedia says 2,998 people died in the terrorist attacks on 9/11. So we’d say Khalid Shaikh Mohammed still owes us at least another 2,815 waterboarding sessions.

Time to pay up, Khalid.
