I Miss My Mommy
Cause she’s the vice-present. Will you love Trig?
«I checked the transcript this morning and the biggest bombshell in this campaign so far, in my opinion, is the following section of Bush’s speech:
John McCain’s life is a story of service above self. Forty years
ago, in an enemy prison camp, Lieutenant Commander McCain was offered
release ahead of others who had been held longer.His wounds were so severe that anyone would have understood if he had accepted.
John refused. For that selfless decision, he suffered nearly five
more years of beatings and isolation. When he was released, his arms
had been broken, but not his honor.Fellow citizens, if the Hanoi Hilton could not break John McCain’s
resolve to do what is best for his country, you can be sure the angry
left never will.
Now
have you ever heard someone recount what was done to John McCain in the
Hanoi Hilton and not use the word “torture”? I haven’t. “Beatings and
isolation” is a bizarre phrase to use to describe the torture that was
done to John McCain. I’m sure McCain thinks so.
Am I being persnickety? As with the Trig story, there’s a very easy
way to find out – if the press will simply do its job. A White House
reporter needs to ask the president, quite simply, if he believes that
John McCain was tortured in Vietnam. Just ask. Use that specific word.
See if he can answer.
The reason he put it this way, I infer, is that if he describes what
was done to McCain as torture, he has incriminated himself for war
crimes.
I repeat: The reason he put it this way is that if he describes what was done to
McCain as torture, he has incriminated himself for war crimes.
Now prove me wrong. Please prove me wrong.»
