Bush to veto bill banning waterboarding

The White House says President Bush will veto legislation on Saturday that would have barred the CIA from using waterboarding — a technique that simulates drowning — and other harsh interrogation methods on terror suspects.

And there are 10 more months of damage coming. Expect a marked worsening. Every dirty trick, every big lie, every act of revenge and hatred Bushite monsters can concoct.

Bush has long had a death wish: it’s behind his alcoholism and his conversion to the least intelligent most hate-filled version of xian bibliolotry. Like Paul of Tarsus,he lives to negate what is wise and good. (1Cor1:1ff)

What other conclusion can you draw after experiencing the last seven biblical years of moral famine?

Bush’s death impulse has corrupted the body politic. But, why has America succumbed to his will-to-death, shared by McCain?

“Those whom the gods wish to destroy, they first make demented.”
