Terrorists are responsible for water boarding!

If terrorists did not go around committing acts of terrorism, then there wouldn't be any reason to water board them.  Also, if they would just cooperate when captured, then there wouldn't be any need to water board them.  They are in control of their water boarding.  They just don't chose to take the necessary steps that will prevent them from getting water boarded.  It's all their fault.

Water boarding is not torture.  College students water board each other all over the world....., except they use beer instead

Water Boarding has been used three times. All on high value detainees. These are people who were leaders of Terrorist cells and what not. If they didn't kill so many innocent people, they wouldn't have been water boarded.

Unfortunately for them, they did. Too bad.

That reminds me....

Question: What did the terrorist say while being water boarded?

Answer: Glub, glub, glub ;)

That's as funny as saying they answered Allach, Allach, Allach!

Side: Wait...., What? No!

Hmmm..., your answer is funnier. But in my defense, I made it up on the spot ;)

attn JoeCavalry:

are you ignoring that fact that in 1898 Spanish-American War, the US troops that invaded and occupied the Philippines instituted water-boarding

google "the water cure" + "the Spanish American war"

Side: Wait...., What? No!

OK, so are you saying that water-boarding has a history of working :)

Water boarding is essential. It's nice that they finally released the report that showed how many lives and possible attacks would have been if it wasn't for water boarding. They still leave with life, and limbs unlike ours who lose their heads. Now we have a communist, racist attorney general Eric Holder who wants us to apologize for water boarding these people. What is our Nation coming to?

These people murdered three thousand American citizens on 9/11 and you're worried were hurting their feelings oh no.....(Freaking Liberals)

Side: I've always thought that

Yep, and if the neighborhood gasoline station had no money in the register a robber couldn't go in, point a gun and rob them of their profits...how dare they make money for you to rob!

Yeah, and rape is bs, I mean, if girls didn't go around looking sexy, there would be no reason to rape them...

(that's sarcasm for anyone who has never heard one of my arguments)

Right, because an innocent woman being raped is just like a terrorist being water boarded.

just like it.

I knew you or Jake would manage to completely ignore the point I was making and focus on that.

As much as some would enjoy saying "Ha! People against torture are pro-terrorist!"

We in fact are not, nor do we think a terrorist being water boarded is the same as a woman being raped.

What that analogy obviously means to anyone not blinded by a masochistic desire to defend torture,

Is that the act of blaming a person's actions on the person on whom the actions are carried out, is faulty logic.

It does not matter whether the action is deserved or not,

the person carrying out the action is the responsible party...

As my analogy clearly points out.
