trump: 'Torture' led to catching bin Laden
Edited on Wed May-11-11 04:46 PM by spanone
a fool and his mouth...

**************

Back in the spotlight today, potential presidential candidate Donald Trump said “we had a great victory last week with the killing of bin Laden.” A result Trump says couldn’t have been achieved without enhanced interrogation techniques.

“In terms of torture, in terms of enhanced interrogation, we wouldn’t have caught bin Laden without it. That’s what got us to him,” Trump told the audience at Expo Nashua in New Hampshire.

Trump insisted that Pakistan had to be aware al Qaeda’s leader was in their country. “If anybody thinks that Pakistan, the government, didn’t know that he was there, they’re foolish, okay, they’re very foolish," Trump said. "So, they’re not really our friend and they’re not really our enemy."

The Donald also proposed withholding aid to Pakistan until “they get rid of their nuclear weapons.”

10. Even so
How about this?

So Bush tortured to get a name? OK, that's debatable, but let me ask you this; What did he do with that name for the next 7 years????!!!!

11. Did he personally watch the torture and see the results?
Or is he talking out of his ass again?

I wonder which one it is?
