Bush: "I'm not going to talk about techniques. There's an enemy out there."

Bush defends AG candidate Mukasey
By TERENCE HUNT, AP White House Correspondent

..........

Bush said it was unfair to ask Mukasey about interrogation techniques on which he has not been briefed. "He doesn't know whether we use that technique or not," the president told a group of reporters invited into the Oval Office.

Further, Bush said, "It doesn't make any sense to tell the enemy whether we use those techniques or not."

..............

"Judge Mukasey is not being treated fairly," the president said. Without saying whether interrogators use waterboarding, a technique that simulates drowning, Bush said that "the American people must know that whatever techniques we use are within the law."

Asked whether he considers waterboarding legal, Bush replied, "I'm not going to talk about techniques. There's an enemy out there."

1. Yeah, AQ might not bomb us because they'll fear getting caught and waterboarded.

They'll willingly blow themselves to smithereens, but they're afraid of torture. That's perfectly logical.

2. He got another one wrong. The enemies are in the whitehouse

[bdamomma]

3. the only enemy is you *'ie.

plus isn't this doublespeak, I thought he said we do not torture, and in the next breath he says, we will not discuss techniques, what a sick fcuk he is.

Fear Fear and more Fear, isn't everyone getting sick of this shit.

4. Whatever this president does is within the law

Because if the president does it, that means it's legal.

"Judge Mukasey is not being treated fairly," the president said. Without saying whether interrogators use waterboarding, a technique that simulates drowning, Bush said that "the American people must know that whatever techniques we use are within the law."

Boy, does this sound like every other bunch of BS from Georgie's mouth.

5. RIGHT WING WACKO DOG WHISTLE " WE TORTURE"

and by the by, we are kicking ass in Iraq, meaning we are cracking "them" skulls and breaking "them" bones. It's us vs. them, and we are kicking "them's" ass.

Bush is talking to his fanatical base, and it's disgusting.

6. There's An Enemy In Here Too

9. "I'm not going to talk about techniques"

Or truth, or constitutionality or legality, or ethics, or morality, or intelligence. There's an enemy out there.

[AndyA]

10. Yes, George, there IS an enemy out there. An enemy to the American people.

An enemy to the Constitution.

An enemy to freedom.

An enemy to privacy.

An enemy to living a healthy life.

An enemy to having good American jobs.

An enemy to a peaceful world.

And that enemy is YOU.

The American people know it, and the rest of the world knows it.

Look in the mirror: THAT'S THE FACE OF THE ENEMY.

11. I'd Volunteer To be Water-boarded!

If Bush would just shut his fu$king mouth and disappear.

Listening to Bush run his stupid pie-hole has got to rank worse than many tortures.
