Torture Scandal-Plagued CIA Needs Another George Bush

The Geneva Conventions prohibits torture and torturing POWs is considered a "war crime." We are obliged to follow the Geneva Conventions, which is why keeping prisoners up for 11 days, waterboarding, using snarling dogs against POWs, etc. is not allowed. Bush is the reason the country spent 1 trillion dollars on the war. There were no weapons of mass destruction, and waging war with Iraq for a lie shows poor leadership. I am not liberal or conservative, but simply stating the facts. Dear Americans, please believe the facts.
I'm extremely pleased that Obama is the president because he knows that America should be a "beacon on the hill" in establishing democracy. Violence begets more violence; this is a fact. We are not going to stoop to the level of terrorists as Americans and endorse torture, but rather we are going to lead by example.

President Bush was a strong and courageous leader, like his father before him. I could understand the shameless liberals undermining him for political reasons. They've done their dirty deed with lies and trickery to put a know-nothing, power hungry, egomaniac into the White House and jeopardize our very core. Now get over the Bush bashing and give President George W. Bush the credit he deserves for protecting our country, AND even the very people who want to crucify him now...sound familiar? I only wished he'd had a congress that also cared about this country instead of their own selfish desires. Oh, that's right.. they were mostly liberals too. Does ANYONE truly care about this once great nation anymore?

President George Bush did what he had to do to keep more Americans safe. Now we have a weak President that puts America down and kisses up to leaders who want us to be like them. I will always be grateful to President Bush. I felt safe with him as my president and now we are in the worst danger than we have ever been. They have opened up this file for all to see and now let them see the REST of the story.

Thanks to MR Obama, Our enemies now know the "President" of the United States stands for weakness and appeasement. If you know ANYTHING about Middle Eastern culture, this is NOT a GOOD PLAN.

He didn't do enough damage his first term, so they gave him another chance.
Reminds one of the old saying: One day as I wanderedg weak and weary, suddenly a voice came to me from out of the gloom and said, Cheer up. Things could be worse. So, I cheered up and sure enough--things got worse!
