IRAQ IS GOING DOWN THE DRAIN. COUNT THE NUMBER OF ATTACKS SINCE JANUARY 1


There is such an increase in attacks in Iraq that no longer is it safe for Iraqi civilians to walk the streets of Baghdad and other Iraqi cities.

The following is a list of attacks in Iraq since January 1, 2009:

SHEPARD SMITH DROPS F-BOMB ON FOX NEWS (WATCH NEW VIDEO)


The discussion about torture is heating up to a point where some anchors and reporters are totally losing their professionalism. Such was the case when FOX NEWS' Shepard Smith appeared on the FOX NEWS morning show and blew his top about torture and banged the table and shouted: "We do not F-word torture in America."

LIZ CHENEY TELLS NORAH O'DONNELL THAT NAVY SEALS TRAINING IS SAME TORTURE METHODS USED ON DETAINEES AT GITMO (MSNBC VIDEO)



Liz Cheney,daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney, told Norah O'Donnell of MSNBC that U.S. Navy Seals go through the same kind of tourture training that was been done to the detainees at GITMO who were subjected to torture.

Cheney is totally wrong. Nobody in the U.S. Navy Seals goes through training that is equal to torture described in the recent Senate Intelligence Committee report.

In fact, nobody in the military goes through any kind of training that is the equivalent of the torture used on detainees.

I went through eight weeks of infantry training and eight weeks of combat engineer training in the U.S. Army and we never were subjected to ANYTHING that would come close to torture.
