Trump: I Would Bring Back Waterboarding, ‘Peanuts Compared to What They Do to Us’
Breitbart ^

Posted on 11/22/2015 8:36:22 AM PST by springwater13

When asked if we should bring back enhanced interrogation like waterboarding Trump said, “We have to be strong. They don’t use waterboarding, they used chopping off peoples heads. They use drowning people. I don’t know if you have seen with the cages, where they put people in cages and they drown them in the ocean and they lift out the cage, and we are taking about waterboarding … I would bring it back, yes, I would bring it back. I think waterboarding is peanuts compared to what they’re doing us. What they did to James Foley, when they chopped off his head. That’s a whole different level. I would absolutely bring back interrogation and strong interrogation.”

Well, that's it - Trump has peaked.

Again. And again. And again. LOL!

Wonder how many points this gets him?

2 easy questions:

1). Do you believe the US army tortures their soldiers?

2) Are you unaware that the US Army water boards soldiers as part of their training, as well as subjecting them to tear gas and other hardships to prepare them for what they may encounter in the field?

“I think Trump is a stalking horse for Clinton. He isn’t making sense anymore.”

I agree with him. He makes perfect sense!

Trump’s comments don’t make sense to those desiring the destruction of the USA. We don’t want the USA destroyed, so he makes sense to us.

As long as Gitmo does remain open, past Obama, use it for questioning, and in lengthening the lives of the nice little sharkies swimming in the water, delivered by helicopter.

You, OpusatFR, are a weirdo.

Where in the dark recesses of your little mind do you come up with this drivel?

Well, Trump just got my vote if he wins the nomination.

If only George W Bush had defended our military and the War on terror in general.

If you listened to the media's 5 year 24/7 propaganda campaign on Bush Era “torture” accusations you would think America was running torture camps and torturing people to death in was that rival the Spanish Inquisition.

The reality could not be further from the truth. The most severe interrogation method used was waterboarding which induces psychological discomfort but does not cause any pain or even the slightest injury. Our military people go through much worse as part of their training.

So there was no actual “torture”, used by the Bush Admin, the media had lie and falsely redefine waterboarding as torture.

Nor was use of waterboarding widespread. Intact, only THREE of the highest level and most brutal of al Qaeda and Taliban leadership were ever even waterboarded. These three were directly responsible for the 9/11 attacks and had the blood of 3500 Americans on their hands. What they did to their own people was much worse because they pioneered much of the atrocities and genocide we are seeing ISIS commit. They had extensive torture networks and they were the people who ordered innocent young women who's only crime had been to be raped by Jihadi and having the courage to report it to authorities, out center field of soccer stadiums and blew their brains out with an AK-47 as half time entertainment - personally, in some cases.

The Bush administration subjected these three to waterboarding to prevent attacks against Americans and also to prevent exactly what is happening in Syria at the moment.

Finally, some one has the guts to the Media on their lies and sickening propaganda that professes false moral indignation at the most minor actions by Americans trying to stop brutal terrorists from doing exactly the kind of horrors what we see ISIS commit in Syria and Iraq, but self censor and actually become lying apologists for crimes against humanity perpetrated by the Jihadi terrorists themselves

When reporters get nasty and pick on him he should reply to them, “if a terrorist killed your kids because I didn’t use waterboarding would that be ok?’

What I love most about Trump....is that he proposed running for years. So when he decided to really run, he caused sheer chaos within the party.....and told them what to do with their money.

“.Hitlerys “I am sick and tired speech”...It will get them talking in mere seconds.”

Probably so, but even ON THIS SITE, you would find the vast majority of people agreeing with the UN that it is PURE TORTURE to make a Syrian refugee, I mean terrorist, have to listen to such PURE EVIL.

The Geneva Convention would SHUT THIS DOWN, immediately, and I agree with them. NO ONE, not even an Islamic Terrorist that wants to kill thousands of the infidel should be subject to the PURE TORTURE of having to listen to Hillary Rodman speak.

I’ll be back to tell you, “I told you so” when that horrible woman is sworn in.

That’s the day I give up.

Kinda sounds like you already have...
Don’t take council of your fears...fight!
If she was selected, the fight would just be beginning!

I’m for what ever it takes to push these islamo-fascists in to the ash can of history. Even a lib like FDR hung 4 German infiltrators. Why isn’t there military trials and firing squads at gitmo. These people are not soldiers worthy of UN protection, they are irregulars, out of any uniform, hiding among the innocent, blowing up non-combatants. They should be squeezed for info then taken behind the chemical shed and shot in the head and cast into mass graves, unmarked and unremembered!
I understand that this seems harsh, yet compared to them this is simple justice!

Isn’t waterboarding a regular part of SEAR training for US aviators, and of course, for any anyone joining Special Operations?

But then again, the leftist who have been put in charge of the military consider making a terrorist feel bad as torture, it just goes to show that the entire upper echelon of the military, put in place by the Obama regime, needs to be cleaned out.

I wonder if there’s any way to do the same thing with every one of Obama’s appointments, including the judiciary?

Maybe sitting down ISIS and giving them a good talking to is what you would recommend. Strong on ISIS only helps Trumps rise in the polls.
