“Yeah, we waterboarded Khalid Sheikh Mohammed,” Bush told a Grand Rapids audience Wednesday, of the self-professed 9/11 mastermind. “I’d do it again to save lives.”

President Obama says “We can’t go backwards”
Ex-President and Unindicted war criminal George W. Bush is basically saying “Why not go backwards, look at the wonderful legacy I have left you!”
Yeah, those were WAR CRIMES, the kind Reagan forbid and made illegal under US law, but, now that you have reminded us that the only thing in your legacy that you want to remind us of is how torture worked in your book, I say we encourage George W. to keep talking. Keep reminding us of that legacy, Georgie, cause you sure didaheckuvajob.
More below the fold
George W. Bush’s casual acknowledgment Wednesday that he had Khalid Sheikh Mohammed waterboarded — and would do it again — has horrified some former military and intelligence officials who argue that the former president doesn’t seem to understand the gravity of what he is admitting.
Waterboarding, a form of controlled drowning, is “unequivocably torture”, said retired Brigadier General David R. Irvine, a former strategic intelligence officer who taught prisoner of war interrogation and military law for 18 years.
8 years of legacy and strategery and all we got was that sutpid torture, these stupid wars, this stupid financial clusterf*ck, that stupid Katrina response, stupid tax cuts for the rich, stupid deficits, stupid unemployment, stupid, stupid and more stupid.
So, please, George W. Bush, build your legacy. Now is the time to remind us that after 8 long years, the thing you are most proud of is your claim that torture worked. Bush gave us legal torture, Obama gave us health care reform. Remind America about that.
And remind America about this stuff too

Yes, so please, continue to come out and remind America about how you would “Do it again” if only we would go backwards and put Republicans back in power.
Build that legacy, and start today! America might forget about you and your amazing legacy of FAIL!
And we need to remind America that the GOP has amazingly managed to get even DUMBER since this moron left office.
Peace, and may the gods help us all
