You're really special. You're even trying to blame Obama for that disaster called Iraq. Obama wasn't the one who desperately wanted to show his muscle over there. The American people wanted their soldiers to come home. Obama promissed to bring them home, and he did. And now you're bitching about that? There's one and only one administration responsible for that burning mess called Iraq at it's not the current administration.

Regarding Gitmo: a prisoner is a prisoner. The fact that you approve torture makes you just as despicable as terrorists torturing American journalists. You are a disgrace!

Oh and still waiting for your knowledge of Band of Brothers and other WWII movies. Please tell us how accurate BoB really is? Come on, I asked you a question, why don't you just answer it?

Obama pulled the troops out of Iraq even though the military said it wasn't secure. Now we have Isis, whom Obama called the JV.

There is a huge difference between how the gitmo prisoners are treated as compared to how American prisoners were treated by the Japanese. You seem to think the treatment is the same. What Americans suffered at the hands of the japs was real torture.

Ah so you have been to Gitmo and have inside info about how the prisoners are treated there? Torture is torture no matter how much you twist and turn.

You really like to blame Obama for all the faults Bush made don't you? Good luck with that. I'm done with narrow headed folks like you. Of course the military said it wasn't secure, the military is about fighting wars and all that equipment needs to be used doesn't it? After the first Gulf War, Iraq wasn't a real threat to the US but Bush really made sure it was after showing his muscle. And now you blame Obama for listening to the families of soldiers stationed in that hell hole.

Now back to Band of Brothers, come up with some answers will you?

Khalid Sheikh Mohammed is responsible for the mass murder of civilians and was the principal architect of 9/11. He has released information after being waterboarded, that the Obama administration wont release. And to think we have ignorant, misinformed people on this board who think it is wrong to try and extract any information from monsters like this. It would be very interesting if they lost loved ones due to this guy. I wonder if they'd still preach their utter ignorance.

And yet it was never our government's policy to torture the Japanese in return. That's how the Greatest Generation behaved. You know, the one we should try to emulate.

And hoops, you just used a 70+ year old racial slur. Yeah, I know exactly who you are: Exhibit A for the Worst Generation.

So Lurker would consider waterboarding by Americans an equal trade to having one's testicles cut off, fingers chopped off, electrical shock leaving permanent damage, plus waterboarding?

If Boiler was given the option, I and would chose waterboarding by Americans.

How about the Japanese during WWII? Japanese troops beheaded American pilots. Not to mention about 7,000 allied casualties per week in the Pacific near the end of the war. And the Bataan Death March wasn't exactly Geneva approved, was it? You know, from those wonderful folks who brought you Pearl Harbor.

Obviously, there were unprincipled and cowardly Americans back then who would have advocated for torturing the Japanese, not to mention torturing Nazis, right? And during our cold and occasionally hot wars with the Communists, there were lots of Americans who would have been eager to sacrifice our principles and torture some godless Russians and Red Chinese.

So that America fights unprincipled and evil foes is not exactly unique, is it? And neither, Boilerman, are Americans like you.

Er Forkster, you ARE of forgetting the firebombing of places like Tokyo and Dresden? Germany's 6 million jews that were eradicated. Stalin's treatment of German POW's....
