Good idea. You Neocons keep yourselves busy enjoying reruns of the royal wedding, the Apprentice, and dancing with the stars.

Meanwhile, those of us with common sense and intelligence will take care of America.

If those enhanced interrogation sessions work so well why is it that we didn't get bin Laden on Bush's watch? Bin Laden hasn't moved in five years! Bush/Cheney had seven years to practice enhanced interrogation. They must not have been very good at it.

They had to waterboard a detainee over 180 times just to get a possible nickname. At that rate, they would have enough intelligence gleaned from waterboarding to catch bin laden by 2080!

And if he hadn't got OBL in his first term, the wing nuts would be screaming that he was weak on defense and terrorism. Just admit it... you hate the man and there's absolutely nothing he can do, no matter the facts or how good it is for the country, that you'll ever like. Unemployment could be at 3%, stock market at an all time high, rising salaries, no wars, health care for all, and the raging right would be still screaming that he's the worst president in history. The hate is so over the top, it's almost comical these days.

I know, and they wasted a lot of valuable resources and time tracking down a massive amount of out-right lies they got from water boarding techniques.

And there's quite a crop of them at C-D to be charter members.
