What did we do in the "war" (on terror) Daddy 'O'?


"We tortured some folks".

Using the royal "We" are we?

"We" also killed some folks, aka children and civilians, with "our" drones, didn't "we"?

What exactly are "we" then?

Monsters?

"Erm...uh..."

HERE.

P.S. - It's kinda hard to recall all of the crimes of the Cheney-Bush regime, of which torture is simply one of too many:

I imagine that we'll soon hear a resounding chorus of "that was then, this is now...let's move on and learn from our mistakes". No...I say let's buy a one-way ticket for Bush, Cheney, and Rumsfeld to The International Criminal Court, Hague, The Netherlands.

Obama's comments reminded me of my previous post on Sparrow Chat - where Richard Dawkins tweeted:
"Date rape is bad. Stranger rape at knifepoint is worse..."
Obama seemed to be saying, "Our torture wasn't so bad as others, as ours was committed with more justification."
From where do they extract their double standards?

mike ~ Yes - and I'd add the Prez to that list.

RJ Adams ~ Standards? They don't have that word in their vocabulary - unless it applies to keeping up their standards of living and stashing away more and more $$$$$$$$$$.
