He thinks the U.S. needs to go attack ISIS since we're already in Iraq. He said we should not go to Iraq but now since we're over there we need to get there oil and bring it back to the U.S. If we get there oil they won't have any of it and there rage won't last for very long.

Malcolm Nance, has personally experienced waterboarding and uses ethos and logos to emphasize his experiences. From his experiences in the military, Nance, who was at the Pentagon during the 9/11 attacks and has been part of the SERE program since 1997, has come to several conclusions as to why waterboarding is ethically and logically wrong.

In at least one waterboarding session, Zubaydah became completely unresponsive and had foaming bubbles rising from his mouth. CIA medics said that he ingested so much water, that regurgitated acid was likely to damage his esophagus. The CIA said Zubaydah was subjected to waterboarding only once, although further investigation proved that he was instead waterboarded eighty-three times over the course of one month.
