Thread Name: BS: Obama and torture
Subject: RE: BS: Obama and torture
And what was that tough decision that George Bush made? To torture people so that he could find a justification for a war that was unjustified?
And what is wrong about impeachment? Impeachment is to bring a president's actions under scrutiny. I seem to recall they did this about Clinton's sex life and the Republic still stands. As I recalll, impeachment is in the Constitution of the United States, and is there in order to provide a check against the executive branch engaging in "high crimes and misdemeanours". If Obama does that, he should be impeached.
He is not God or a king, although you wouldn't know it. He is a branch of government. A government of laws and not of men.
yours,
