Well it has been confirmed that our President reads Andrew Sullivan's Daily Dish, well daily. So we now know that we can expect more falsehoods, remember the false quote attributed to Churchill, based on a source that does absolutely no research but instead just spouts leftist rhetoric. Now the genious Andrew Sullivan is trying to diminish the defense of "aggressive interrogation" by claiming that Harry Truman was a War Criminal and also immoral for authorizing the dropping of nuclear bombs on Japan. Mr. Sullivan in a rare display of research even went to an outside source for his argument, "a Japanese legal review". So a Japanese legal review argues that the US committed war crimes by ending the war in the way we did. I have now seen it all. I used to think that Michael Savge was extreme when he would say that "liberalism is a mental disorder" but over the last 100+ days I have observed proof positive that in fact Michael Savage is correct. Again no attempt to put the decision into its proper context. http://andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com/the_daily_dish/2009/05/trumans-war-crimes.html
In his Prague speech during the Apologypalooza tour Barry stated: "[A]s the only nuclear power to have used a nuclear weapon, the United States has a moral responsibility to act." This infers that we should feel guilty about saving the lives of millions of American soldiers, the estimated deaths that would result from an invasion of mainland Japan, by dropping nuclear bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

This is an excellent defense of our actions in dropping the bombs. If you want your children to know American history and be able to defend the country they live in when they are exposed to the liberal brainwashing that they will be subject to in our school systems you should show this to them as well. I have sent this link on to my two girls.
It also shows that Jon Stewart is another idiot who did absolutely no research to back up his opinions. It is very troubling that men like him have such an influence over our youth.

Andrew Sullivan was a conservative Bush supporter until he saw the mess he wrought. He was essentially the UK's first Log Cabin Republican.
Liberalism is a mental disorder! Andrew Sullivan is a great example of this. He simply lost his mind. Rich I want to thank you for clarifying this for all of us. To argue that Harry Truman was a war criminal for his decision to use nuclear weapons shows the extreme loss of his ability to use the mental faculties that Andrew Sullivan once had.
Mark - You do not advance your cause by calling those who disagree with you mentally ill. Nor is your mental disorder classification of liberals writ large helpful. It further enshrines you as a fringe player.
Rich, I am not trying to champion the harsh treatment of three (by our friend Marks account, I had never see the "just 3 number, but do not doubt him) terrorists. I have no issue with stopping a ticking nuclear bomb. Should we have done it if we had them prior to 9/11 and if the obvious answer is yes, then the answer to stop the next 9/11 is yes!
Our primary issues are that the pacifist left has left this country incredibly vulnerable and more so by the day.
What I do not hear the left discussing is national security. What they are discussing is, still, what Bush did wrong.
Heaven help us.
Jimmy:
Lets face it - Bush gave us lots of material.
I think that Gates, Clinton, Mitchell and Holbrooke - among others - are doing a great deal to maintain and enhance our national security.
You do not appreciate the downside of our Abu Ghraib/Waterboarding policies. It set us apart from the civilized world, which is far more damaging than any upside (if any) to torture. Oh - and we do have a constitution that prohibits it. Does the constitution mean nothing to you?
We will accomplish far more in this war of civilization vs nihilism by cooperation with the rest of the world leaders. The UN, NATO, European Union, China, Russia, Japan, India, etc are all very helpful to this end. We need their full and robust support, rather than tepid and fleeting.
Engaging in torture is throwing out the baby with the bathwater. The "ticking nuclear bomb" is a theoretical construct that has never happened and hopefully never will. Why give up so much merely so that it is "okay" to torture in such an event?
