Meanwhile, Ted Cruz calls for more teddy bears and soccer balls to be handed out. Maybe Snarly can join Ted and Glenn this time.

“After a city gets vaporized or thousands are killed in a chemical/bioligical attack, all these ‘civil’ nuances and ‘this is not who we are’ dialoge are going to flatly rejected.”

I would home at that point, the favor would be returned in kind.

Cruz said waterboarding was “enhanced interrogation” at the debate. Trump went all in torture. Trump entertains with cheap theatrics. Cruz has more actual knowledge about policy in one brain cell than Trump could ever attain. Too bad you didn’t vet him. Fortunately other Americans have.

Trump has 10 billion and Cruz doesn’t.

They each have their strengths and they each have proof of their ability.

But TRUMP has been the leader on this and on a host of other issues.

I want a leader, not a reactor.

Waterboarding might be a little too easy on em.

I now I have been critical of some of Trumps statements - but this one is a winner! Bravo.

Start out by keeping them awake for 48 hours. Feed them trichinosis infected pork chops from last nights mess hall trash. Coupla visits from Zeus and Apollo from Magnum PI days just to keep their adrenaline flowing good. After a a few hours at the water park and a good hit of sodium pentathol, they will be your best friend.

Does sodium pentathol really work? If so, why isn’t it used more often ?

I'd bet ISIS would squeal like a pig rather than endure this.

Trump mentions this incident in some of his speeches.

There are basically three ways to stop terrorism. First, you cut off their sources of supply to include food and weapons so they can’t be effective enough to do the damage they could do and you put up with it, but you have to starve other countries that support them. Second, you hound them anywhere they go and kill enough of them that it is no longer possible for them to accomplish their goal, right, a guesstimated quarter of a billion of them world wide. Or, the chosen way, put up a front, ignore it, and allow your people to be slaughtered in the streets to include in your own country.

I have seen what these people do, I know what they think, and I understand they are willing to die to accomplish their deeds. The information we got to get Bin Laden was based upon different types of torture to Sheikh Mohammed and Hassan Ghul for years to get that info. The choice is our people getting tortured for no reason or theirs being tortured to stop them from torturing us.

How noble are you to let your friends and family hurt and die for the wrong reasons, prematurely? And they will use things worse than death to get their work done. Pick your poison.

I eliminated Cruz and Rubio because they IMO are not natural born citizens. I disagree with the current thought on what Natural Born Citizens are, instead favoring common sense. Vattels law of nations, and common sense tell ME that a natural born citizen is one whos parents are Born in the United States, and their child is Born in the United States, with no deviding loyalties, period. I don’t care what yours, or others definition are, or how you come to YOUR conclusion. Vote how you want.

Obama is proof of what can happen with a Foreigner who is running the White House. The systematic destruction of America.

It is my opinion, that Rubio and Cruz are not NBC, Hildebeast is as bad as her Husband, and as big a YUGE disgrace going all the way back to Whitewater. Sanders is s Socialist and unworthy of the White House, and Trump is scaring the he!! out of GOPe, and I agree with his plan.

I am not blind, I am not stupid, and I have vetted him, and all the rest to MY satisfaction. I believe that the majority of America agrees with me, and I honestly feel fine with others having their own opinion and their own vote.

So before you become enraged and want to attack me, remember, I am as entitled to my opinion as you are to yours.

Lets see who cannot accept it.

“Donald Trump renewed a call for tougher U.S. border security following Tuesday’s deadly attacks in Brussels, and suggested torture could be an effective technique to gain information to thwart future attacks.”

Oh, that’s not a biased article...

Trump predicted this how far back?

The europeans need to double down on the muslim infestation that is currently plaguing their nations.

Islam is incompatible with the west, and pretty much everything else.

Islam is nothing more than the mongol hoards and the barbarians with a playbook to go by.

Waterboarding is not torture....and it should be used minimally as necessary.

...but said military leaders have found techniques like waterboarding are not effective.

That is a myth. Torture techniques are very effective. Up to a point. There is a point when it becomes ineffective. But they take it to mean it is all ineffective.

Leftist weenies spout this crap all the time in an effort to twist the message, etc. the way they always do.

It’s funny how people still think Trump is a Leftist when he is unapologetically condemning their sacred cow, Islam.

Taqiyya?

Why are you still here? Why should we take anything you say seriously, when we can’t even believe your own opus.
