You could put them in a dark room and play Hillary’s speeches 24/7.

It was my understanding that both Seals and SpecOps are trained using water-boarding.
Is that not so anymore ..?? And, if it is so, will Mattis stop it ..??

This is what a leader does. Hire the right person for a job. make sure that your expectations and goals are clear, and then
leave them the hell alone CC

Waterboarding is not torture. Trump and Mattis need to clarify.
But also never telegraph what you will and won’t do.

I read General Mattis has a bear rug in his living room. Its not dead but too scared to move.

The pack of beer and cigs approach worked fairly well in WWII. It has been tried on islamists and does not work in most cases.
These people have a belief system and a god they fear.
You don’t necessarily need to use waterboarding but you do need ‘enhanced interrogation’, i.e. make them miserable. No sleep, alternating heat and cold, loud recordings of screaming babies etc. You also need to break down their faith to get the best results - which we have never done.
Mattis is great but he is old school and from everything I read he doesn’t understand islam. He thinks he is fighting terrorists or extremists.

No sleep, alternating heat and cold, loud recordings of screaming babies etc. A constant barrage of Rush, Hannity programs, and Christian sermons in Arabic.
Funny mohammed jokes until they beat themselves bloody.

I know it’s unpopular but there is a difference between the radicals and Islam itself. I don’t know why it’s so hard to understand. People move their own needle however they want. It’s like the Constitution and liberalism. Liberals think the constitution is living and should be moved for the times. You don’t think there are liberals who believe in Islam?

Seriously, that would kill anyone.

Trump will defer, and that is a good leader. That does not mean that he’ll not take initiative if it’s a high level case and there are high stakes on the line.
Trump is no dope, and he’ll get what he needs to done.
We’ve got a winner!

I went through that exact training in 1969, but I understand that it was stopped a few years later (to appease the sissies).

If someone believes in Sharia law, they’re incompatible with Western society.

I planned on emptying out my 401k and spending it on enough JD to last four years in the basement if she won.
