Cheney just can't stand it that he's out of power and no one is asking him, " What do YOU think Mr. Cheney?" And he can't boss Bush around anymore.


He stayed hidden for 8 yrs...now he won't shut da'f---k up!!!

:roll: :roll: :roll:

Cheney doesn't have any future political plans, is very very wealthy, but is concerned about the future of the country. Seems to be very popular right now by simply bringing up facts that Obama folks don't want to deal with and millions of people support him. Right now the Obama adminstration is scrambling like a herd of cats trying to find some way to make Cheney be quite. :wink:

He's making a fool of himself.


At least I will give credit where credit is due.


Bush, when he left...he LEFT!!

He's not whiney, back seat driving, nagging and ankle biting.


He's acting much more ' steady' and stateman like than Cheney!

Someone must be asking Cheney questions................

I'm watching him right now on an "Internationally Televised Broadcast", "Biatch-Slap" Zer0 back to being a 2nd grade schoolboy on Terrorism and it's ramifications to the public. :lol:

The people are waking up, and you can't admit you were wrong on this clone you elected. :lol: :lol:

Cheney gets asked questions. He answers them. You or I may not like them but apparently neither does the current adminstration. Clinton and Gore did the same thing Cheney is doing except Cheney has factual information.

From all the opinions that I have seen voiced, Zer0 is the one being made to look the fool.

On his 2nd day in office he announced to close Gitmo with no plan whatsoever...............

Yesterday his own party denied him that option. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Millions?

I suppose you are right.

Even at an 18% approval rating that is still quite a few poor, misguided souls who support Lord Cheney-Vader.

Of course if Cheney's approval rating fell to .5%, that would still be over a million people!

I'm happy that he doesn't shut up.

He's the only one that has stepped
up to the plate. I always knew he had guts...and he cared a lot
about our security. Obama could unclassify the information about
planned attacks that were diverted because of the way Bush/Cheney
dealt with TERRORISTS, only he won't. So what's he trying to hide???
(Besides his birth certificate.) :???:

Funny, Obama is now doing the same thing as Bush/Cheney in
dealing with Iraq, Afganistan, etc.

As for Biden, he's a laugh a minute, only I'm too scared to laugh.
The leaders of this country show their WEAKNESS not America's
strengths. Shame on them.

Yep-- I even heard Lindsey Graham on the floor of Congress say that yesterday- and make the comment that of the thousands of German prisoners held inside this country during/after WWII- 15% were the most ardent Nazi fanatics--- so we should definitely be able to find a place to stick 200 Gitmo people... He believes Gitmo needs to be closed to keep it from being a recruiting/rallying point for the radical Muslims....

Whats also comical about all Cheney's crowing- is in every hearing- hearing after hearing- you hear the Republican Congressman saying we made mistakes in the past--the Bush/Cheney administration made mistakes in fighting the war-- the past administration made big mistakes---bending over backwards apologizing for the Cheney screwups---saying its time to move on- and trying to distance themselves as far as they can from Bush/Cheney...

..."trying to move on"...that comment cracks me up. :shock: :shock: :shock:

Repubs call it "moving on"-- the Dems called it "change"-- but I have to agree anything is better than Bush/Cheney- what ever you want to call it.... :wink:

But I'm afraid folks around the world will remember the Bush Bust for many a year- and it will take us a long time to bring back our moral standing in the eyes of the world....

Gosh kola, I thought Cheney said something to say. Guess I looked for it and perhaps you didn't. This is from Feb. 9th:

Former Vice President Dick Cheney warned that there is a “high probability” that terrorists will attempt a catastrophic nuclear or biological attack in coming years, and said he fears the Obama administration’s policies will make it more likely the attempt will succeed.

In an interview Tuesday with Politico, Cheney unyieldingly defended the Bush administration’s support for the Guantanamo Bay prison and coercive interrogation of terrorism suspects.

And he asserted that President Obama will either backtrack on his stated intentions to end those policies or put the country at risk in ways more severe than most Americans — and, he charged, many members of Obama’s own team — understand.

“When we get people who are more concerned about reading the rights to an Al Qaeda terrorist than they are with protecting the United States against people who are absolutely committed to do anything they can to kill Americans, then I worry,” Cheney said.

Protecting the country’s security is “a tough, mean, dirty, nasty business,” he said. “These are evil people. And we’re not going to win this fight by turning the other cheek.”

Citing intelligence reports, Cheney said at least 61 of the inmates who were released from Guantanamo during the Bush administration — “that’s about 11 or 12 percent” — have “gone back into the business of being terrorists.”

The 200 or so inmates still there, he claimed, are “the hard core” whose “recidivism rate would be much higher.” (Lawyers for Guantanamo detainees have strongly disputed the recidivism figures, asserting that the Pentagon data have inconsistencies and omissions.) Cheney called Guantanamo a “first-class program,” and “a necessary facility” that is operated legally and with better food and treatment than the jails in inmates' native countries.


But he said he worried that “instead of sitting down and carefully evaluating the policies,” Obama officials are unwisely following “campaign rhetoric” and preparing to release terrorism suspects or afford them legal protections granted to more conventional defendants in crime cases.

The choice, he alleged, reflects a naive mindset among the new team in Washington: “The United States needs to be not so much loved as it needs to be respected. Sometimes, that requires us to take actions that generate controversy. I’m not at all sure that that’s what the Obama administration believes.”

The dire portrait Cheney painted of the country’s security situation was made even grimmer by his comments agreeing with analysts who believe this recession may be a once-in-a-century disaster.
“It’s unlike anything I’ve ever seen,” Cheney said. “The combination of the financial crisis that started last year, coupled now with, obviously, a major recession, I think we’re a long way from having solved these problems.”

The interview, less than two weeks after the Bush administration ceded power to Obama, found the man who is arguably the most controversial — and almost surely the most influential — vice president in U.S. history in a self-vindicating mood.

He expressed confidence that files will some day be publicly accessible offering specific evidence that waterboarding and other policies he promoted — over sharp internal dissent from colleagues and harsh public criticism — were directly responsible for averting new Sept. 11-style attacks.

Not content to wait for a historical verdict, Cheney said he is set to plunge into his own memoirs, feeling liberated to describe behind-the-scenes roles over several decades in government now that the “statute of limitations has expired” on many of the most sensitive episodes.

His comments made unmistakable that Cheney — likely more than former President Bush, who has not yet given post-White House interviews — is willing and even eager to spar with the new administration and its supporters over the issues he cares most about.

His standing in this public debate is beset by contradictions. Cheney for years has had intimate access to the sort of highly classified national security intelligence that Obama and his teams are only recently seeing.

But many of the top Democratic legal and national security players have long viewed Cheney as a man who became unhinged by his fears, responsible for major misjudgments in Iraq and Afghanistan, willing to bend or break legal precedents and constitutional principles to advance his aims. Polls show he is one of the most unpopular people in national life.

In the interview, Cheney revealed no doubts about his own course — and many about the new administration’s.

“If it hadn’t been for what we did — with respect to the terrorist surveillance program, or enhanced interrogation techniques for high-value detainees, the Patriot Act, and so forth — then we would have been attacked again,” he said. “Those policies we put in place, in my opinion, were absolutely crucial to getting us through the last seven-plus years without a major-casualty attack on the U.S.”

Cheney said “the ultimate threat to the country” is “a 9/11-type event where the terrorists are armed with something much more dangerous than an airline ticket and a box cutter – a nuclear weapon or a biological agent of some kind” that is deployed in the middle of an American city.

“That’s the one that would involve the deaths of perhaps hundreds of thousands of people, and the one you have to spend a hell of a lot of time guarding against,” he said.

“I think there’s a high probability of such an attempt. Whether or not they can pull it off depends whether or not we keep in place policies that have allowed us to defeat all further attempts, since 9/11, to launch mass-casualty attacks against the United States.”

Every time I look at that old fogie Cheney- who is one pacemaker battery mistick from a grave- talk of war- and now knowing that he and his old buddie Rummy's incompetence probably led to unnecessary deaths of many young soldiers in the Bush/Cheney Oil war - I think of what some in the past have tried to tell us-- and why he couldn't listen to folks that had been there ahead of him like Ike...

Older men declare war. But its the youth who must fight and die!
- Herbert Hoover

Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and not clothed. ~ Dwight D. Eisenhower

“When people speak to you about a preventive war, you tell them to go and fight it. After my experience, I have come to hate war. War settles nothing.” ~Dwight D Eisenhower


I'm fed up to the ears with old men dreaming up wars for young men to die in. ~ George McGovern

Setting a good example is a far better way to spread ideals than through force of arms.
~Ron Paul

The moral and constitutional obligations of our representatives in Washington are to protect our liberty, not coddle the world, precipitating no-win wars, while bringing bankruptcy and economic turmoil to our people.
~Ron Paul

In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.
Dwight D. Eisenhower

We will bankrupt ourselves in the vain search for absolute security.
Dwight D. Eisenhower

OT....Gitmo is no rallying point.....An attack on the US or any of it's citizens is the most prized rallying point or recruiting ploy for the terrorists.

You may have been wishing....at least he doesn't need a teleprompter to give him words to say...he actually "thinks" and is very good at it, like him or not.

And OT....how did you avoid never being in a war???I didn't think any generation had missed a war.
