Christopher Hitchens Has Some Opinions

Here's a pretty decent uncut video interview of Christopher Hitchens — one of the only who actually makes me come close to rethinking my long-held and disgustingly-liberal views on the war in Iraq –  in which he…

* Accuses President Obama of being a fellow atheist who's too cowardly to admit it publicly

* Expresses his deep pride for initially and continually supportinghe U.S.'s invasion and occupation of Iraq

* Explains why he sought out people who would waterboard him, and how it's disingenuous to call it "simulated" drowning

* Admits that quitting smoking was even more unpleasant than getting waterboarded

* Hints at his plan to make God is Not Great as a funnier version of Bill Maher's Religulous

Try as I might, I just can't seem to figure out why Hitchens would doubt Barack Obama's much-professed Christian faith which just so happened to coincide nearly perfectly with the beginning of his political career.

Why would he be so jaded as that?
