Its funny how people seeking to discredit Hitchens will without fail (and rather inexplicably) refer to his drinking. Correct me if Im wrong, but the video was about Hitchens experience with waterboarding, and unless Oblivionisathand101 can produce empirical evidence that Hitchens supposed alcoholism somehow influenced his reaction in this case (or is otherwise worth mentioning for any reason at all), then it would be best to refrain from the use of irrelevant, schoolyard epithets, no?

He's also an alcoholic.
Most things can wait till he sobers up but being a leader of a country cannot.

5. He's unprofessional...using slang and cursing when speaking to foreign diplomats.

5 reasons Bush was a bad president:
1. He is not smart enough to make well-informed decisions, or even know what a "sovereign nation" is.
2. He's not for separation of church and state. (constitutional amendment banning gay marriage)
3. He appoints unqualified and dishonest members to his cabinet and gov't offices. (harriet meyers, cheney, ...)
4. His foreign policy has tarnished our image worldwide, portraying us a world police and imperialists.

Bush has been a great president. You people think we should give these terrorists luxury suites and swedish massages. People are quick to forget these people killed thousands of innocent people. Unbelievable! Everyone here that has something against Bush please give me 5 reasons he is a bad president. People say say Bush is a bad president just show their ignorance and willingness to follow the media like a f*cking sheep. It is just a sign of pure ignorance.
