Every other President before Bush was "fake"?

You've got to be kidding. Do you honestly think torture has not been used before to get confessions from war criminals? The American public does not understand the fundamentals of war. It's not a tea party where we all observe the rules of etiquette for a polite society.

First of all, your question is flawed in that there are no facts to back up your assertion that any tactics used by the administration produced false confessions in an effort to go to war.
Secondly, if the interrogations go correctly, mainstream America should never hear about them. That's National Security information that the general public shouldn't be privvy to. There's no evidence either way that any President prior to Bush either authorized or disallowed the use of "torture" tactics.

So are you in effect admitting what screw-ups Bush and Cheney were?

Listen if we want to keep the terrorists off American soil we must use waterboarding to get more information from them and to prevent new 9/11.

And can you leave our great president Bush alone and discuss a socialist Obama? Pray the God we will not have another 9/11 tragedy. I don't feel safe with Obama at all. He is too soft on the terrorists.

You will remember this my answer to you if God Forbid it will happen again. It may happen during Obama's presidency. He is a very very weak president and will shit his pants if this happens. He will just give one of his colorless speeches on the podium instead of protecting America.

I urge you to open your eyes and Thank Bush for keeping America safe.

Have you ever heard of the Japanese concentration camps in the United States during WWII? Have you read what went on there? Something that was never mentioned in US History in high school...
