War vs Torture

Since the beginning of time and resulting wars, during this time period, has always involved torture. History shows this fact to be true. One need to just check the Tower of London, the Marquee De Sade, the many prison camps, down through the ages, that did practice methods of torture, not only for obtaining information but, in all to many cases, just for the sake of, ad the pleasure of doing so! No country, no society is free of using these methods for various reasons, but in particular in the time of war. Today, while our country, our congress quibbles with this method--the use of torture--our enemies d0 not. In fact, the trouts they use, make our method of torture look like a game of patty cake, or some form of game. The Rules of War provided for in the Geneva convention of l929, is nothing but a hoax on the world. No nation, repeat, no nation in time of war, has ever been proven to have not used such methods. These methods are only disregard by those that have never had to fight to defend their nation. Nor have they had to be responsible for waging war, in defense of this nation or for any other reason. These cowards, now screaming not to use such tactics in the defense of this nation would, in their own defense, scream bloody murder, to those not using such methods to defend him or members of his family. Never having such responsibilities and never shown a willingness to defend this nation--they feel safe in condemning those that have. Our nations constitution, in its preamble states a persons right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness...to accomplish this and to defend this nation, Congress and only Congress, has the power to Declare War--not the President. Also in this respect only congress has the "Power of the Purse" and therefore, if they declare War,they are obligated to pay the costs of such war, once again, not the President. In article II of the Constitution, the PRESIDENT, is designated as our Nations Comander In Chief and is entrusted to Wage War in defense of out Constitution. Now for those members of congress that, by declaring war, gave President Bush the right to defend this nation--and for Eight years, he did just that and with great sucess. And today, for this, he is being maligned, as no other president in our nation history, a history of wars we engaged in for the protected of our citizens, our country. Each of those that would condemn him, as many are now doing, are noting but shrimps and wimps--having demonstrated the morals of a coward to this country. They are, in fact the cowards, that our now, Attorney General, waSUNDOUBTEDLY REFERRING TO. THE MESSENGER
