    Never did any of that. Just commenting on the US sadistic torture. You keep engaging in non sequiturs/logical fallacies.

    You did not liberate the people of Iraq and your top brass never had any intention of so doing.

    Fascinating view of what they were up to here

    No, like I said I have the regulations promulgated to contradict what you have imagined occurring.

    This ^^ is the parroting of Islamist conspiracy thinking and the willful ignorance of history to support that.

    The Geneva convention is an international treaty that the US government is a signatory to. It's therefore incorporated into the Constitution under the Supremacy Clause (Article VI Paragraph 2). The Constitution applies to anyone within the jurisdiction of the US government. The Bill of Rights makes no exceptions.

    So you are saying that you are aware that your posts are just an ongoing repetition of non sequitur's logical fallacies and put in another one. May be enough to entertain you but boring me.

    So then you imagined they followed "regulations" because there were "regulations". I understand.

    You don't know the difference between conspiracy theory and conspiracy FACT.

    No it doesn't. Nothing supersedes the Constitution, it is the Supreme Law of the Land. However it does incorporate the Geneva Convention since the US government is a signatory.

    You still don't understand that the regulations are better evidence of what occurred than your imagination of what occurred, which has no evidentiary value whatsoever.

    That makes the Geneva convention applicable to everyone. Not the US Constitution.

    And the homicide rate in Iraq just before Obama left was ..... ?? Here is a hint - it was less than a South American country which recently hosted the Summer Olympics.

    What actually occurred is not my imagination, it's fact. Regulations are not evidence of what actually occurred. It's you who imagines what occurred based on "regulations". You make zero sense. The burden of proof is on YOU who is making claims as to what happened based on zero knowledge of what actually happened.

    Once again, you make no sense as to the 2nd sentence. The Geneva Convention is part of the federal Constitution via the Supremacy Clause. It is therefore the Supreme Law of the Land by its own mandate. It also means it applies to everyone within the jurisdiction of the US government and everyone within the jurisdiction of every signatory government.

    You need to read and understand the second sentence of Article VI of the US Constitution. Knowledge is good.
