Chimpy: "We do not torture." Then what's the problem?

[Sparkly]

"There's an enemy that lurks and plots and plans and wants to hurt America again," Bush said. "So you bet we will aggressively pursue them but we will do so under the law."

He declared, "We do not torture."

Over White House opposition, the Senate has passed legislation banning torture. With Vice President Dick Cheney as the point man, the administration is seeking an exemption for the CIA.

If "we do not torture," why are they against legislation banning torture? How are rightwingers falling for this? Seems to me their script needs some work.

1. what? you are expecting them to take notice of such minor inconsistencies

2. My ol mom used ta say ya don't try ta hide what yer doin unless

5. But I'll Veto Any Bill That Expressly Forbids It

And, oh, how I wish he would.

Just think what hay we could make if the first and only bill Smirk ever vetoed was one prohibiting torture.

(He's threatened to do just that.)

6. Some idiot righties think we *should* torture.

So what do they think of him saying, "We do not torture?"

How do they have it both ways?

[punpirate]

7. Ah, they have that wonderful out...

... we don't torture according to the definitions of torture our lawyers gave us.... :grr:

[Francine Frensky]

11. It depends on what your definition of "torture" is

wouldn't it be nice if we had a press that would follow up on bush's comments on this subject and hold him accountable????

[Village Idiot]

8. And why are they INSISTING on a CIA EXEMPTION from it???

[Ioo]

RWers have their panties in a wad over a blow job lie.

RWers lying about torturing, pretending that they don't when the world has seen all the pictures....hell Bush has threatened to veto a congressional bill prohibiting torture.....hell, its illegal right now.

These people are beyond redemption
