Unity.

It isn’t going to happen…

These people, they’re liberal Democrats, and when the rubber meets the road, they hate Republicans, even if they’re McCain.

Folks, you wait, if McCain ends up being the nominee, you’re going to see the Media and the Democrat opposition research people releasing stuff about this guy that’s being held back now because they want him to be the nominee.

If you think that this unity business is going to take place, you do not know the left in this country.

Did Eisenhower get unity? No.

Did Nixon get unity? No.

Reagan get unity? No.

Bush 41 get unity? No.

Bush 43 get unity? No.

Did Kennedy get unity? No.

Did LBJ get unity? No.

When the country is at war, the anti-war crowd is going to perk up, and a lot of them are in the media.

But one other thing that I would like to ask those of you who are military — and you know of my profound, deep respect and awe for you, but I would like to ask you about McCain’s support for closing Guantanamo. — Senator McCain wants to shut down Guantanamo Bay because of abuses that the Europeans are accusing us of committing, and so he wants to appease the Europeans and whoever the hell else around the world who thinks that we are committing torture.

These are the people with whom we are at war. We have gleaned operational intelligence from people at Guantanamo. Waterboarding gave us everything we needed to know about the 9/11 mastermind and hijackings and the plans and operations of it. Waterboarding, not torture.

The attorney general was put on the spot in hearings and he told the guys at the committee, screw you — he didn’t use those words.

He didn’t back down. Waterboarding is not torture. I’m not going to tie my government’s hands. He said, (paraphrasing) “I would love to institute my personal preferences on these kind of things, gentlemen, but I am the attorney general of the United States, and my first duty is the defense and protection of the Constitution here. I am not going to just by fiat tie my country’s hands dealing with this enemy.”

Senator McCain wants to do that.

He wants to bring these prisoners of war into the United States, give them constitutional rights and lawyers, and basically fight the war in the court system.

So on the one hand Senator McCain sounds all gung-ho, I’m for the surge and this sort of thing, but if you look at some of the other things that he’s trying to do, like cut down on the interrogations that take place. I mean, isn’t that part of the war, the internal security of the country?

We were attacked here on 9/11, after all. I don’t think we need to close Guantanamo.

Senator McCain says that if we waterboard these clowns we’re no better than our enemy. What do the troops think of that?

I’m just throwing some questions out there, not trying to agitate, not trying to stir the pot.

Just throwing some questions out there.
