I have no idea, but Jon Stewart is right! You can use the question mark with impunity because there is no declaration there. Right, FOX "News"?

1. Hey, he wore a flight suit, didn't he?
Maybe he put on women's underwear and sat on an Iraqi prisoner. He's into cosplay stuff like that.

4. "No, no...now, George, see...you went too far with that one."
"You need to slow down and enjoy it more. Remember, the best torture takes a while. Killing the guy like you
just did with that one may be fun, but it doesn't really help. OK. Bring in the next one. Now, try it again, Mr President."

5. And doesn't Bush have sex with chickens in his spare time?
Yeah, that was a good segment...

15. Does Bush force poor black
families forced out of NOLA by Katrina to sodomize zoo animals? Does he trick them with promises of decent healthcare? Does he force them to fight blindfolded like Ralph Ellison in "Battel Royal?" These are questions that our media must ask!

7. GAWD I hope not!
I respect the office too much to half to believe that POTUS participated in torture. Pray God an end to this stupid silly shit called torture.

13. I really don't see what all the fuss is about
I don't see any reason to respect the office of president. Looking at the scoundrels that have occupied it in the past, I really don't see why I should respect it more that any other person. Which is not to say that Bush doesn't turn my stomach.

20. Weather or not you agree with 'the scoundrels' in the office.....
A true American would still respect the office, itself. I may not have liked Nixon, but I still cried when he was laid to rest solely for respect of the office he held. You don't have to agree with me here.

9. Wouldn't surprise me
After all, he is an upright Christian. Let's not forget his torture of his FRIENDS in college and even today on his sadistic 130 degree bike rides.

21. if we're using the question mark i believe it should be:
"her husband also committed suicide?"

and then

"what role did george bush have in these two cases of "apparent suicide"?"

18. Probably not, Im sure he ok'd it, maybe even watched....
But doubt he actively had a hand in it. Rummy though, yes I could see him torturing anything that is alive and he doesnt like.

19. whether he was or not, his advocacy of torture is a sure sign . . .
that he is one very, very sick individual, totally out of touch with reality (i.e. the reality that information obtained through torture is always unreliable) . . .

and this is the guy with his finger on the little red button . . . :nuke:
