Barack Obama: After 9-11, the “US Tortured Some Folks”
The Gateway Pundit ^ | 8-1-2014 | Jim Hoft

Posted on 08/01/2014 3:35:42 PM PDT by servo1969

At his press conference today Barack Obama accused the United States of torture. Obama drops drone bombs instead. In his mind, it’s more ethical. The AP reported, via Free Republic:

President Barack Obama says in the immediate aftermath of 9/11, the United States did things that were wrong and crossed the line. He says, quote, “we tortured some folks.”

Obama is commenting on a Senate investigation into the CIA’s interrogation techniques. A report on that investigation’s results is expected to be released in the coming weeks.

Obama says it’s important to remember how horrified Americans were after 9/11. But he says it’s important to remember the U.S. must live up to its values.

Obama also says he has full confidence in CIA Director John Brennan.

He's not referring to himself. And by that I mean America.

>>He says, quote, “we tortured some folks.”

I say, quote, “we didn’t torture them enough, or enough of them, and we didn’t properly make those muzzie savages disappear afterwards”.

No BamBam. On 9-11, the Muzzies tortured over 3,000 folks. There, fixed it, you assclown.

As horrific as this is, I thank you for continually posting this.

Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

And after this Boob got elected, I’ve been tortured daily by the blathering inanities that sputter out of this poser.

After 9-11, muslims still murdered untold thousands of people, and decimated many lands, solely for those people not being muslims like themselves. If not here, they’ll continue murdering until they are either vanquished, or they manage to kill off all of the infidels. That is how islam works. Convert, or be killed, is the way of the muslim.

Hearing that turd refer to anyone as “folks” has the same effect on me as fingernails on a blackboard.

Even reading it in a quote makes me cringe.

I’m not sure why.

Folks? That’s a term of endearment

I hear the engine warming up.

"The Dims are going to make this THE story building up to the 2014 elections. They’ve been working on this for over a decade, but it’s going to be “coincidentally” released in the next few months. This is their October surprise, and my guess is when it hits the MSM, it’ll wipe everything else off the front page from now until November."
