HERE’S TO “CHENEY AND OTHERS”

As an AP report noted, “administration officials from the Vice President on down signed off on using harsh interrogation techniques against suspected terrorists.” Blah-blah-blah-blah.

First off, who cares, unless you’re commending them? Secondly, so what? Thirdly, I’ll say it again: if kicking the crap out of a terrorist sympathizer saves one soldier’s life, well — as we used to say in the Nam — xing loi ... which loosely translates to tough shit.

In the words of that oh-so-politically-incorrect bumper sticker: “No matter what you think of George Bush … he’s sure killed a lot of Arabs.”

The Bush Administration may not have gotten everything right, but what they did get right, they got right. To bad the bleeding hearts can't adjust their morals to that, like they do for anything else that happens to be inconvenient.
