Did you think that Bush was wrong for stating that he wanted bin Laden "Dead or Alive"?

...and what exactly did you want to see transpire after he was captured? I'm really curious.

The Sunday morning shows were full of this debate; The one that highlights just how wrong obama and the Left were; who did they want to talk to?

RealClearPolitics - Video - Cheney: Bring Back Waterboarding; "Wrong" To Call It Torture

RealClearPolitics - Video - Rumsfeld: Obama Made The "Right Decision" To Kill Bin Laden

Both Cheney and Rummy excoriate obama for his AG to re-open (one that was investigated, closed) an investigation into those same CIA operatives who were instrumental in capturing OBL.

LOVE Liz Cheney here;

Water boarding had little do do with finding Bin Laden, advanced electronic surveillance and
good old fashioned intel did the job just fine. Hannity is STILL harping that credit should to to BUSH!

You have doubts about Osama being responsible for 9/11? Are you one of those who believe it was caused by Bush/Cheney?

Do you believe there is enough doubt about Osama that he should have been read his Miranda rights, given representation and a jury trial here in America?


Geeze! I thought differently about the right!

That is why Obama had Osama taken out?

Too bad Bush didn't have this same motivation.

You, Cheney, Limbaugh, Hannity, and friends live in an alter reality. So didn't Bush. That is why Bush/Cheney could never catch Bin Laden.

The radical right will not accept the fact that it was not torture that lead to locating bin Laden. The fact is that they seem to be enthralled and excited by the mere thought of inflicting pain or suffering. The same group that believes that the non rich should not have a decent level of healthcare. Severe lack of empathy or sadism...take your pick.

Reports from top CIA and FBI officials prove you wrong once again.

Falsely making statements of things that are not true does not get you anywhere. Most of us already know the full truth that water boarding has lead to MASSIVE amounts of stopping terrorist attacks.

Deal with it and stop spreading false information over and over again.
