Cheney: ‘High Probability’ of Terror Attack

cheney is such a boob, why would anyone want to listen to this guy. Why would anyone want to go hunting with this guy? The WORST VP this country has ever had, no contest.

Anyone that dislikes Obama, you now have Angie’s permission to follow her lead of what is acceptable speak.
Oh and Angie, you can’t say a word about it either hon. That would make you a hypocrite and a hack.

Cheney. You belong in prison. Shut your lying mouth.

I can see his “I’m so much smarter than you” smirk as he says this stuff. Another Limbaugh pseudo-patriot who hopes our new president fails. Disgusting.

Now that you have lots of time on your hands perhaps you can actually READ the Constitution!

shut up Cheney….sit back and bask in your retirement.
Nobody wanted to hear from him in the psat 8 years…..gotta keep up with that fear mongering

TERROR MY EYE, IF THERE WAS EVEN ONE TERROIST IN THIS COUNTRY HE COULD HAVE MOWED DOWN HUNDREDS OF FOLKS AS THEY STOOD IN LINE TO VOTE, DIDN’T HAPPEN. IT WAS CHENEY NEEDING TO PROP UP HIS ECONOMY AND EGO, GET LOST LOSER.

This from a man, along with his cronies who have made the entire world less safe.

REASON
You are not wrong you are 100 percent correct,The Republicans pry on peoples Fears!

shut up evil old man. You were the drive behind the Iraq war when YOu “not only KNOW Saddam has weapons of mass destruction” you “knew exactly where they were”…really???? How’d that work out for ya? Ya knowwhat you’re afriad of???? being WRONG!!!! You are WRONG about everything you ever did! Bush had ALL the information he needed to avoid 9/11 from happening. He didn’t need to spy on regular americans, he didn’t need ANY of the things you put in place, the man just needed to READ HIS MEMOS and actually ACT on them. YOU WERE WRONG!! and THAT is your biggest fear. Obama will institute his policies, we have the world loving us again, countries back squarely by our side, willing to help, willing to tattle on AQ, willing to trust us, and it kills you. Well, old evil man, it’s not all about you and You KNOW history is going to CREAM you, and you can’t stand it. Still trying to pound your fist and say “no sahhhh! i was right!” Shut up. YOur 15 minutes is done. YOU made us less safe! wE have a world of repair from the plethora of mistakes you and Bush did. just shut up, go away, let history judge you a nd suck it up like man. you little weasle.

The arrogance of this crook. . . He should be in front of a firing squad.

Simon Bar Sinister has spoken.

Cheney is protecting his investment in Haliburton (the no-bid contractor for our defense from terrorists)

Bush/Cheney made millions of dollars Off the Iraq war At the Expense of our men and womans Lives and our Money!And the sad thing here is everyone wants to focus on Obamas Administration,Meanwhile Bush and Cheney are sitting back laughing their A$$ off, while they sold America and us out for their Kick backs from the Wars and their Bailout for Bonuses on Wall St!

“But I think Cheney has become much more pugnacious” as vice president. He said he agreed with former secretary of state Colin L. Powell’s assertion that Cheney developed a “fever” about the threat of terrorism and Iraq. “I think that’s probably true.”
Gerald Ford 2004

“I bet there are many Republicans who are hoping for a terrorist attack because it would strenghten their party. “..sbsolutely. In John Adams time they’d be hung. Traitors. TO ever wish this country bad things to happen to it so republicans get anotehr chance. Wow. I guess that is the republican motto – to hell with country, we just want to be in power again! You know, just when you think you couldn’t trust republicans less, they do yet something else that sucks just a little bit more water out of the pool, and nope, nope, I guess, it WAS possible to trust them even LESS than that. I thought I was already at “no way in hell” level, but no, I guess, It can get even lower. Just did, after reading this.

And do peopole realize the reason Obama wants G. Bay closed is because all these people have been there since 9/11..what are we doing with them? If they are guilty, why haven’t they been tried and punished? What are we waiting for? And they will be released back to their own countries for trial, not let loose on our streets or theirs.

I’m sure terrorists all over the globe would like to thank you for your words of encouragement, Mr. Cheney!

The comments make sense when you consider that Cheney was running this country for 8 years.

Bush, Cheney and Runsfeld actually lost the war on terror by cirumventing the liberties this country was founded on. Sorry but removing our rights and torture are not “The American Way”, if anything you brought more danger to our door. Hope someone gets some political ba##s and sends you to the Hauge. Maybe you should answer for some of the actions you took. Why would you have a Republican Congress pass a law granting you and Rummy immunite from prosecution if you felt you did nothing wrong??
What an a$$ this guy is and was…goodbye, your time is up..go sit in florida somewhere..

Alexandra, Are you kidding? It’s hard to believe there are still morons like you, supporting the GOP, after what they’ve done to this country. Get your head out of your a$$.

Hey, I have an idea… why don’t we think of something that might happen in the next few years and predict it??? Then, if it doesn’t happen everyone will forget your prediction and if it does… WOW! what mileage.
Republicans will never get on board because government is a gaming field to them. It’s all about winning the politics game. Us little guys are not in the mix, irrelevant.
I can’t get over the actual reference to “Big Spending” when this… person, is partly responsible for us being a Trillion bucks in the hole. However it came to be when Bill Clinton left office we had a surplus. Shut up about spending. And for goodness sakes take your well deserved rest and take your lying buddies with you.

Maybe the conspiracy theory people were right? Maybe the last administration was in on the 9/11 attack? All we have heard lately is a bunch of the old GOP team, saying over and over about another attack.
What do they know that they do not want to tell us?

Apparently, there is some minor disagreement with Cheney’s observations.
LOL.

When Cheney moved into the Vice Presidential office Clinton told the new administration Bin Laden was our biggest threat. Seven months later, Bush dismissed a CIA messanger who brought him a memo saying “Bin Laden Determined to Strike in the US” saying “now you can say you covered your a**.” I’m not too interested in whatever mischief Cheney is up to now. I think protecting America is pretty low in his priorities.

If Cheney goes hunting, this could be the case. If the terrorists want to hit us and they are clever enough, they could probably succeed. Hate to think of a nuke going off though. We have to reduce the hate. Our cities are infested with gangs such as MS-13. Lets deal with those folks instead of trying to kill people in caves that have legitimate aims because of our crazy foreign policy.

I think this man may well be the most hated american politican in all of our history. He doesn’t just ignite arguments on policy, folks HATE this guy. for goodreason, just an observation.

Here in Indiana, they are filing papers to try to keep the Guantanamo inmates from being shipped to the Federal Prison in Terre Haute.
If you folks all believe the people in Guantanamo aren’t really terrorists (12 that have been released so far are right back at it) let’s let them come to live in your back yard. I don’t want them in mine.
Anyone who believes there aren’t terrorists in this country waiting for an opportunity is sadly uninformed. That kind of thinking is what helped 9/11 happen so easily. It’s not fear-mongering, it really happened people. Wake up!

The violence and wrath of the comments on Cheney make the former VP look like a saint in comparison…

Posted by: hang | Feb 4, 2009 10:39:36 AM………Do your comments do your karma any good?

William, Shut up. We’ve had enough of your kind for the last 8 years. Just shut up and get out of our way while we try to fix what you disgusting STOOPID Repugnants have done. Shoo, go away. And let me guess…I bet you call yourself a Christian too!

This really looks like an organized campaign against Cheyney. Take a look at the times these comments came in — one right after another — very strange and so many in the same style, like they were scripted — just like election day when Obama’s people pestered the hell out of you to get you to come out to vote.

I can see his “I’m so much smarter than you” smirk as he says this stuff. Posted by: rightwingrick | Feb 4, 2009 10:45:27 AM
You are right, rightwingrick. He is much smarter than you. He’s also accomplished more in his lifetime than any one of you could in a hundred.

Cheney needs to get his sorry butt back to Wyoming. That pathetic tool’s reign of error is over and the adults are in charge.

It is deeply disturbing that a VP from the prior administration would comment on the current Pres. Shame on him and his fear tactics. He should crawl back to whatever hole he was hiding in during the Bush years and shut up.

Doxie Mom. . . I think you misspelled. It’s really DIXIE Mom, right?

Anyone who gives any creedence to the statements or opinions of this war criminal is either a coward or a fool.
Obama should be instructing the Department of Justice to vigorously investigate and prosecute Cheney and his coconspirators for treason, war crimes, and mass murder.
Obama will not do this because he serves the same master as his predecessors, and it is not the American people.

SHUT THE #%&* UP CHENEY! WE ARE THROUGH WITH YOU!

Wow, look at all the brilliant Democrats….what a bunch of wimpy, left wingers…Obama is taking us down the path of socialism and all Cheney is saying is what is exactly happening. Obama should be ashamed…he is more suited or France, not as the leader of the free world Idiots!

LOL! Cheney slacked the life out of America during those loooooooooong 8 years he was in power. Cheney’s opinion, his thoughts, his brain-wave activity — don’t matter.

And obama bashed Bush in his coronation speech >>>>>>>>>>>>>> yeah!

Cheney is ludicrous. How dare he talk about the stimulus…it’s okay for him to waste billions in Iraq chasing phantom terrorists that did not exist before we invaded, but its not okay to spend our resources on America! We’ve had enough of Republicans for a lifetime.

It’s disappointing you would even print this article as if Cheney’s words mean anything to anyone. Guess I’ll stick to relying on the blogs for fair, honest, and relevant information. If I wanted to hear a bunch of lies, I would turn on Fox and hear what crap Rove has to say! Thank for Nothing!!

Wether we like Cheney or not, he is right.
Obama is more concerned about the terrorists rights than protecting Americans.

I really wish people would look at what they post here. No matter the affiliation of party, everybody here looks ignorant. People wonder why this country is so divided. Yes the Bush administration probably missed clues about 9/11. But the Clinton administration (who by the way was impeached) had the opportunity to take Bin Laden into posession. Why do we need to take down Guantanomo? One of the inmates who was released is now a #2 in Al Qaeda. The men are not wanted in thier own country and wouldn’t bat an eye at killing hundreds of people.
Now the question is were Bush and Cheney wrong in a lot of their descions? Yes! The sad thing with Obama is that once he was given the real information that he wasn’t privey to before he became president, he changed his stance on a couple of items. That kind of happens when you actually have all of the information that neither you nor I will ever see or hear. I personally do not like Obama and a lot of his stances, but you know what? I’m rooting for him to do good. I’m not going to be like everybody here who was rooting for the last president to do bad. I want this country to succeed and I would never want to see any terrorist kill people on our home soil. I just wish people would get over their hatred of the other party and agree to disagree a lot of times. How else are we going to become a stronger nation? Yes, I am a conservative.

I think the best way to keep the US safe is to tap Cheney’s phone, read all his mailand follow him around. I dont trust him. I think he would be happy if we were hit again. Given his money and the bush family connections with the saudi’s, I think maybe THEY should be spied on.

While I detest Cheney, I am a Democrat and I do feel that the Obama administration is setting us up for another attack. Closing GITMO is a mistake- these people would slit your throat if given a chance and they are not covered by the Geneva Convention which covers uniformed soldiers of member Nation states. Terrorists are not members of a any nations armed forces. Eric Holder while assistant Attorney General freed Puerto Rican Terrorists. The Far Left is more concerned about “rights” of the terrorist that they do not care about about innocent lives. When(not if) we are attacked, it will be interesting to see how Obama acts-will he do nothing like Clinton after the Kenya Embassy attack, Kobar towers and the Cole or will he attempt to strike back like Bush. The hatred of Bush/Cheney expressed on this blog is out of control. I believe history will judge the Bush Administration more kindly then the hate mongers while judging the actions and deeds of the Democratic party towards our military harshly.

wouldn’t it just be ironic if the terrorists hit the White House this time and blow it to bits while obama is in it?

Mr. Cheney, remember those repeated warnings of an impending Al Queda attack during the summer of 01? And the detailed PDB titled Bin Laden Determined to Attack in U.S. that Condi gave to GW early August while he took a month-long vacation at his make-believe ranch? 9/11 happened on your watch. And you did not warn the public like the FBI did under the Clinton administration in the months before Jan 1, 2000 (remember the foiled Millenium Plots?) Why would Al Queda bother to attack the U.S. since then? They know we are bracing for the second blow, so what do they do instead? Pummel our allies in Europe and the Phillipines. Use Iraq to recruit and train new terrorists; and turn their criminal operation into an international franchise. Oh, and Bin Laden is still at large.

Reading all the posts regarding Cheney’s comments leads me to believe that many still suffer from Bush Derangement Syndrome. Closing Gitmo is fine…IF there is a plan on what to do with the detainees. There is none. Giving more “rights” to terrorists is appalling. I for one believe that Obama’s policies placate the left. They are dangerous and do open the door for attacks. I much rather be safe than run the risk of another 9/11. Say what you want about Cheney…however, Obama has not proposed a counterterrorism initiative that protects Americans. When the Washington Post says the “War on Terror” is over, I personally worry. This administration needs to prove to the American people that its policies will protect both American life and the American WAY of life and not replace it with social engineering. Obama has nomimated tax cheats and corrupt individuals to his administration. This is the change? Cheney has his issues, but Obama Bin Lyin’.

Hey J: Clinton was impeached? no he wasn’t…they tried to impeach him and for what? A descretion between him and his wife? These jerks, Cheney and Bush, KILLED PEOPLE and NOTHING WAS DONE TO THEM.
A DISGRACE!

I hope that Cheney is wrong. But if he is right, will those of you so full of disdain for him regret it. Probably not, your hatred of Cheney will blind you to any facts.

Here’s a thought: Before we release the Gitmo prisoners we implant a chip in them, or even a bug. That way we track them, or even listen in on their conversations, if they rejoin al-Qaeda. How much you want to bet Obama has already thought of that?

Haliburton isn’t even headquartered in the USA anymore….they moved to Dubai.
That’s where their loyalty lies and that’s where their profits are shipped off to.

I CAN’T BELIEVE THAT GUY WHO CLAIMED REPUBLICANS ARE HOPING FOR A TERRORIST ATTACK after the Liberals having been hoping for defeat in Iraq for the past 4 years, and running on that. You guys are the one’s that should be tried for treason.

Juval Aviv was the Israeli Agent upon whom the movie ‘Munich’ was based. He was Golda Meir’s bodyguard — she appointed him to track down and bring to justice the Palestinian terrorists who took
the Israeli athletes hostage and killed them during the Munich Olympic Games.
In a lecture in New York City a few weeks ago, he shared information that EVERY American needs to know — but that our government has not yet shared with us.
He predicted the London subway bombing on the Bill O’Reilly show on Fox News stating publicly that it would happen within a week. At the time, O’Reilly laughed and mocked him saying that in a week he wanted him back on the show. But, unfortunately, within a week the terrorist attack had occurred.
Juval Aviv gave intelligence (via what he had gathered in Israel and the Middle East) to the Bush Administration about 9/11 a month before it occurred. His report specifically said they would use planes as bombs and target high profile buildings and monuments. Congress has since hired him as a security consultant.
Now for his future predictions. He predicts the next terrorist attack on the U.S. will occur within the next few months.
Forget hijacking airplanes, because he says terrorists will NEVER try and hijack a plane again as they know the people onboard will never go down quietly again. Aviv believes our airport security is a joke — that we have been reactionary rather than proactive in developing strategies that are truly effective.
For example:
1) Our airport technology is outdated. We look for metal, and the new explosives are made of plastic.
2) He talked about how some idiot tried to light his shoe on fire. Because of that, now everyone has to take off their shoes. A group of idiots tried to bring aboard liquid explosives. Now we can’t bring liquids on board. He says he’s waiting for some suicidal maniac to pour liquid explosive on his underwear; at which point, security will have us all traveling naked! Every strategy we have is ‘reactionary.’
3) We only focus on security when people are heading to the gates.
Aviv says that if a terrorist attack targets airports in the future, they will target busy times on the front end of the airport when/where people are checking in. It would be easy for someone to take two suitcases of explosives, walk up to a busy check-in line, ask a person next to them to watch their bags for a minute while they run to the restroom or get a drink, and then detonate the bags BEFORE security even gets involved. In Israel, security checks bags BEFORE people can even ENTER the airport.
Aviv says the next terrorist attack here in America is imminent and will involve suicide bombers and non-suicide bombers in places where large groups of people congregate. (i. e., Disneyland, Las Vegas casinos, big cities (New York, San Francisco, Chicago, etc.) and that it will also include shopping malls, subways in rush hour, train stations, etc., as well as rural America this time (Wyoming, Montana, etc.).
The attack will be characterized by simultaneous detonations around the country (terrorists like big impact), involving at least 5-8 cities, including rural areas.
Aviv says terrorists won’t need to use suicide bombers in many of the larger cities, because at places like the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, they can simply valet park a car loaded with explosives and walk away.
Aviv says all of the above is well known in intelligence circles, but that our U. S. government does not want to ‘alarm American citizens’ with the facts.
The world is quickly going to become ‘a different place’, and issues like ‘global warming’ and political correctness will become totally irrelevant.
On an encouraging note, he says that Americans don’t have to be concerned about being nuked. Aviv says the terrorists who want to destroy America will not use sophisticated weapons. They like to use suicide as a front-line approach. It’s cheap, it’s easy, it’s effective; and they have an infinite abundance of young militants more than willing to ‘meet their destiny’.
He also says the next level of terrorists, over which America should be most concerned, will not be coming from abroad. But will be, instead, ‘homegrown’ — having attended and been educated in our own schools and universities right here in the U. S. He says to look for ‘students’ who frequently travel back and forth to the Middle East. These young terrorists will be most dangerous because they will know our language and will fully understand the habits of Americans; but that we Americans won’t know/understand a thing about them.
Aviv says that, as a people, Americans are unaware and uneducated about the terroristic threats we will, inevitably, face. America still has only have a handful of Arabic and Farsi speaking people in our intelligence networks, and Aviv says it is critical that we change that fact SOON.
So, what can America do to protect itself?
From an intelligence perspective, Aviv says the U.S. needs to stop relying on satellites and technology for intelligence. We need to, instead, follow Israel’s, Ireland’s and England’s hands-on examples of human intelligence, both from an infiltration perspective as well as to trust ‘aware’ citizens to help. We need to engage and educate ourselves as citizens; however, our U. S. government continues to treat us, its citizens, ‘like babies’. Our government thinks we ‘can’t handle the truth’ and are concerned that we’ll panic if we understand the realities of terrorism. Aviv says this is a deadly mistake.
Aviv recently created/executed a security test for our Congress, by placing an empty briefcase in five well-traveled spots in five major cities. The results? Not one person called 911 or sought a policeman to check it out. In fact, in Chicago, someone tried to steal the briefcase!
In comparison, Aviv says that citizens of Israel are so well ‘trained’ that an unattended bag or package would be reported in seconds by citizen(s) who know to publicly shout, ‘Unattended Bag!’ The area would be quickly & calmly cleared by the citizens themselves. But, unfortunately, America hasn’t been yet ‘hurt enough’ by terrorism for their government to fully understand the need to educate its citizens or for the government to understand that it’s their citizens who are, inevitably, the best first-line of defense against terrorism.
Aviv also was concerned about the high number of children here in America who were in preschool and kindergarten after 9/11, who were ‘lost’ without parents being able to pick them up, and about ours schools that had no plan in place to best care for the students until parents could get there. (In New York City, this was days, in some cases!)
He stresses the importance of having a plan, that’s agreed upon within your family, to respond to in the event of a terroristic emergency. He urges parents to contact their children’s schools and demand that the schools, too, develop plans of actions, as they do in Israel.
Does your family know what to do if you can’t contact one another by phone? Where would you gather in an emergency? He says we should all have a plan that is easy enough for even our youngest children to remember and follow.
Aviv says that the U. S. government has in force a plan that, in the event of another terrorist attack, will immediately cut-off EVERYONE’s ability to use cell phones, blackberries, etc., as this is the preferred communication source used by terrorists and is often the way that their bombs are detonated.

The Bush/Cheney Administration did NOTHING to keep the country safe. They spent billions that will end up being over a trillion before its all said and done on a war in Iraq that enraged the Muslim world and gave the terrorists their best recruiting tool of labeling the United States as invaders. If anything the Bush/CHENEY Administration made things more dangerous by inciting anger in people that may have very well stayed out of the conflict.

Cheney is a lying, draft-dodging war criminal. He had 8 years to shred the constitution. He needs to just retire, eat red meat, not exercise and…well you know the rest.

Hey Cheney, CRITICAL MASS was the end result with you and Bush in the White House for 8 years. Dahhhh…

sounds like Cheney is another Rush. He wants us to get attacked. Rush wants our economy to tank and Cheney wants us to get attacked. What wonderful AMericans. Makes you wish it was t he 1950s so we could arrest them. I hope Cheney’s phone is tapped and his bank accounts closelyl monitored by the FBI. Be careful of the monster you create. It may come to eat you up one day, eh?

Ha: Does “free speech” include slander and libel such as the unfounded, fear mongering heard daily on the radio from the GOP surrogates?

He like rush would love to see our president fail. He wants america to fail is what hes saying. Cheney is about to lose billions of dollars once the Iraq war is over. He is a major share holder in KBR the contracting company that got all the work for the war. He and the Bush started that war to make themselves rich. Why this guy isnt being executed for treason is beyond me.

After the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, which killed six and injured 1,000; President Clinton promised that those responsible would be hunted
down and punished.
After the 1995 bombing in Saudi Arabia, which killed five US military personnel; Clinton promised that those responsible would be hunted down
and punished.
After the 1996 Khobar Towers bombing in Saudi Arabia, which killed 19 and injured 200 US military personnel; Clinton promised that those
responsible would be hunted down and punished.
After the 1998 bombing of US embassies in Africa, which killed 224 and injured 5,000; Clinton promised that those responsible! would be hunted
down! and punished.
After the 2000 bombing of the USS Cole, which killed 17 and injured 39 US sailors; Clinton promised that those responsible would be hunted down and punished.
Maybe if Clinton had kept his promise, an estimated 3,000 people in New York and Washington, DC that are now dead would be alive today!!!
Stop blaming the Bush/Cheney administration for all gone wrong! They had more on their plates in the first year of office than most face in an entire term or TWO! Mostly because of the stupid decisions the previous president made!

He’s now given 1 more interview this year than he has in the 8 previous…. God Bless the GOP… I mean USA

“when I see the people he has nominated and their tax avoidance problems, I wonder if this is just Illinois politics gone national. “.,…that’s so immature. Do you know anything about the tax returns of anyone you work with. How amazing that republicans think bush wasn’t responsible for anything, even things in his control,that he did, yet obama is not only responsible for himsself and his job, he’s responsible for all people, what everytperson on earth says, what they do, how they file their taxes…….how is Obama even to know???? honestly. Does he scour every tax return? just like he was supposed to know the details about the past of every person he’s ever been on a board with. I work with plenty of folks, I knownothing about their taxes. I volunteer on some committees, I know nothing of the personal lives of the other members. But Obama has to be some soothsayer to be acceptable. he isresponsible for all beings on earth. He’ssupposed to be omnisicent while bush gets applause for tying his shoes c orrectly.

Cheney, go f yourself. I think you’ve done enough damage to this country. Just go away little boy.

Cheney is a moron. The IRS needs to investigate him. While they are at it, they might as well investigate everyone on capitol hill who holds “public office”. Seems like we ended up with a bunch of skunks in the woodpile. I remember seeing a question last night, I believe it was on Lou Dobbs. The question was (basically),”Do you believe your democratically elected representatives would continue to raise taxes if they actually had to pay theirs”? I remember 84% of the respondents said NO! Cheney is out of government and he should stay there.

Shut up you old crook.Why don’t you go back into hiding. you belong there… maybe you should visit that place that poor girl in Austira was locked up for years by her own father… except that this time American people should put you there…they should throw you there and throw away the key…

Wow, look at all the brilliant Democrats….what a bunch of wimpy, left wingers…
Posted by: Jim | Feb 4, 2009 11:12:47 AM
I find it hilarious that right wingers can seriously sit there and call people who believe in the founding values of our country wimps. Who are the real wimps, the people who stand for their values in the face of a threat or those who are willing to throw our values out the window for a little perceived safety? I for one am not so scared of a terrorist attack that I am willing to see our country stoop to torture and breaking international treaties just to feel a little safer. Get it through your skulls right wingers, terrorists are not targeting your little po-dunk towns.

know your enemy 3 choices and only 3 choices #1 convert #2 kill us #3 we will kill you. Americans forget past history and will not wake up until until we are attacked again.

The American people are exponentially safer now that Cheney is out of office after terrorizing them during his term. He’s a criminal who should be locked up. Hasten the day when justice prevails over the terrorist administration we all suffered the past eight years!

Alexandra:
So, did you question Cheney’s judgment?
These comments from Cheney are not prophetic, it’s just rhetoric…..

Actually a lot of those “po-dunk towns” have nuclear missle silos (probably not actvie) and have some sort of military value because they have military contractors who if bombed could put a dent in the national security.

How can Cheney possibly predict another terrorist attack? He had the intelligence about 9/11 prior to the attacks and chose to ignore it! Hey Cheney! Your pot is black you idiot!

Cheney, unfortunately, had his eight years in office. Now he should crawl back under the rock from which he came.

Pay no atention to the angry little fear monger in the corner. He needs to shrivel up and go away. Why in the world would he go on record with this crap? Is he trying to start something up with the terrorists with his little “stick out your tongue and run” tactics? As the first comment read: DROP DEAD CHENEY. Amen Sister, Amen.

Drop ****, MF’ing creep. You are the biggest has-been, loser, anti-USA SOB to walk the earth. Get back in your hole and stay there…we don’t want to see you or hear about you and we sure as hell don’t care what you think.

And let the fear mongering from the Bush administration continue…

I wonder how long it’s been since Cheney went to a supermarket? Or maybe, when was the last time he filled up the family car with gasoline. This guy is out of touch with reality. I’m tickled that he is a “has been” and not a “will be”.

“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 “…..this is just a stupid statement. Is he this dumb? Does he honestly not get it???? you know, if we have curfews we’d have less crime, maybe we should do that. And…if we seach every house at random for no reason, we’d probably find alot more contraband. So let’s do that. there is all sorts of way tosay “i’m doing this to be safe” but our founders risked their lives for somethign called “liberty” because they WERE searched for no reason, they WERE not given the right to assemble in groups if they wanted,and they fought to be FREE!!! ARE we a free nation or not??? It’s scary to be free. IF you can’t hack it, move, move to a dictatorship or a communist country where you have no rights but hey, you’re safe. BEcuase you’re so freakn scared, maybe you can’t hack living in a free country. When you give too much power to hold prisoners without charges, when you give too much power to spy on americans, you are taking power away from the people. how do you not get that???? the folks who are left there, if there is nothing to charge them with, what can you do??? do you honeslty say hold them f or the rest of their lives, or maybve just kill them, it’s cheaper, because we’re afraid???? is that who we are???? then we are NOT who the founders of this country intended us to be. We are a nation of free people. We do not torcher. It has been proven to NOT WORK. someone will say anything and so much of what is said is lies, made up, just to make it stop. Dead ends, or worse, they filled with false information to trap soliders knowing they will be torchered, knowing the information will be thought of true. best way to get information is intelligence, not ‘word of mouth’. spies, cameras, spectrometers, etc. “tips” have been PROVEN To not only be unreliable, but to cause distraction and harm to americans in an effort to validate them. Obama is right, he’s just right. He has our moral compass, he is bringing this nation back as a nation of decent people.

no terrorist could EVER inflict the type of damage that Bush/Cheney did to our country. It will be decades before we recover from the mismanagement and childish behavior of the Bush administration, and that’s if we start dealing with it now (which we are….).

If we do get attached, it will be the result of the war crimes practiced by the previous Admin.

Cheney, you can not frighten me, I am immune to your fear speech. Hope you aren’t planning something so you can say “see, I was right”.

my God, republicans are having the worse case of sour grapes I’ve ever seen any administration ever have. is there a single grown up inthe entire bunch???? It’s hysterical to me to see the pusher of the Iraqi war talk about what makes americans safe. How safe are those dead 4000 americans???? oh, they’re dead. yeah, on your hands. Had you not been born they’d still be alive. how does that feel, you evil old man. I’ll go out on a limb here, but when you’re day comes, it’s NOT going to be st. Peter how meets ya, pal!!!! You should bespending the rest of your days repenting.

Bush and Cheney were correct in their assertion that there are evil doers in the world. They were also correct in their assertion that it is the executive branch’s responsibility to protect The United States and it’s citizens from the evil doers. Where they come up short is in their inability to apply the rights we hold so dear (appropriately so) to the fight against the evil doers. The evil doers are out to prove to their followers and the rest of the world that freedom and human rights are less desirable than whatever they would replace it with. In order to prove the evil doers wrong, The United States should always execise the same rights for all people, US Citizen or not. What better way to prove the correctness of our way than to apply those freedoms and rights to all people under all circumstance. Of course, by doing so, we must always be better at stopping the evil doers then the evil doers are at doing evil. When we fail (as in 9/11) we shouldn’t revert to denial of freedoms (which supports the evil doers assertions.) On the contrary, we should redouble our commitment to those freedoms. Cheney takes the easy way out by wanting to deny the freedoms and rights we assert the rest of the world should grant to all.

the goverment has tried to keep the technology down that we need to be rid of bio fuels for years. going back to the late 60s. this country could have had homes powered by geothermal or solar years ago, hydrogen for cars years ago, hybrid years ago, wind powers years ago. we need to end this now so that years from now we are not still slaves to the bio fuels.

This coming from a former administration that put a massive target on the back of every American at home and abroad for the next 30 years!

Stop obsessing with fighting terrorism. Given the economic turmoil, enough of us will be starved to death before the terrorists come get us.

Is he still in a wheelchair? Or is he able to walk?
My thinking is he did not want to stand to honor our new President at the Inauguration.
What a horrible man you are!

our goverment put hussien in power in the first place so that the supply in iraq would be controled and he would not sell it and just sit on it. hussein played the game for years but he decided that he would no longer do it. so they took him out. they used 911 as an excuse, because if bush and cheney really wanted to catch bin laden they would have. he is not in some cave, he is where his father the saudi prince is takning very good care of him he may be on bushes texas ranch for all we know.

HOPEFULLY WE ARE IN ” THE LAST THROES” OF LISTENING TO THIS CREEP. UNFORTUNATELY I DON’T THINK SO. AS LONG AS SOCIOPATHS HAVE A PLATFORM TO SPEW FROM, THEY WILL ALWAYS BE AROUND. THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH CANS OF RAID PRODUCTS TO EXTINGUISH PEOPLE LIKE HIM. WHAT HE’S REALLY TRYING TO DO IS PROMOTE HIS NEXT BOOK.

These Republicans kill me. For the last eight years, Bush spent one trillion dollars on the “War on Terrorism” and no one so much as batted an eyelash. Meanwhile, people lost jobs, our ports are less safer than they were before the attacks, bridges collapsed and our world is less safe. Now we have a man who is trying to clean up the mess that the country has allowed Bush and Cheney made. How dare he be allowed to speak to anyone, you and your cronies should have protected the American people better. YOU ARE THE REAL TERRORISTS!!!!!!

Amy, the guy cheated in a major way on his taxes and Obama still says he’s the best guy for the job? Wow! Why is it democrats like to raise taxes, but don’t think they actually need to pay those taxes?

Is this a “report” or an editiorial? It sounded like a “news report” but then Klein wrote:
“Cheney may not be the ideal voice to lead the Republican Party back from the wilderness. But he sure knows how to make headlines.”
The responses here are exactly what I would expect after an article like this. Bad, biased reporting Mr. Klein.
Stop inciting hate mongering. There is no integrity in journalism any longer. It’s very sad.
Many of the facts in these comments have their facts horribly wrong, but this kind of reporting leads them to believe they are right. Please get more “facts” from other than ABC news!

you are right, sarah. Sour grapes. but i think he’s afraid of how wrong he was and how time will unravel and expose him. the WORSTE thing for him would be that GBay is closed and everything is fine. that would be a HUGE blow to his legacy. THinkg about that. how much do you trust a guy who would personally benefit from us getting hit???? I hope his phones are tapped, his email read a nd his bank accounts monitored too.

Has ANY previous President or VP ever immediately knocked the incoming this soon? In fact, the general rule is you try not to knock it at all?

Obama is doing what’s right for the American people. Terror will always be there.

Drop dead Cheney!! We don’t need to hear from you anymore – especially someone who shoots their friend in the head while hunting !!! Talk about wreckless and careless!!

Linda Snider – Go back and re-read girlfriend. His record is BY FAR better than what you’re typing. Next we could talk about how you honestly think GWB kept ya safe, when the man walked into office COMPLETELY IGNORING TERRORISM for the first 9 months. They did not hold the first cabinet meeting till about 4 days before 9/11. So MAYBE had THEY tuned in? It would not have gone down either? Get how this works? You don’t get to ignore things and then say you did the best job after it happens? Yup – completely ignored terrorism till the day the towers came down. But he’s your hero. You guys are just nuts.

I can see it now. If we are attacked again, and we all know that could happen, the Radical right will come howling out from under their rocks to say “Told You So!!!!” It is pitiful how desperately they are trying to set Obama up to fail. Well I am not buying it! They are so outraged that he would attempt to uphold our Constitution and the Geneva Conventions, both hallmarks of civilization in the world.
If we, the strongest nation on earth, cannot manage to build a secure prison to contain a couple hundred terrorists; if we cannot devise laws to provide due process to them AND protect our society, then we do not deserve to be at the head of democracies around the globe.

Mr. Cheney forgets one simple thing – in his neo-con agenda to invade a soverign nation that had not attacked this one HE created an environment in which al Quieda could thrive and grow world-wide. It is undisputed that the growth into Indonesia, Pakistan et al was under this man’s watch; It is undisputed that when you kill civilians (under the guise of “collateral” damage) the surviving mother, father, sister, brother, child et al do not set aside their bitterness and request Visas to ski in Vail, Colorado. Mr. Cheney YOU put this nation in danger, Mr. Cheney YOUR administration took the Constitution (on a Bible you swore to uphold) and created secret agencies within a Democracy complete with extension of the VP office under the Executive Branch to keep silent your double-dealings, YOU picked and chose intelligence to advance YOUR personal financial agenda (we’re still waiting on your Halliburton trust dollar amounts, so don’t feed us what a stimulus will or won’t do for YOU – am sure you’ve faired well since 2000), YOU selected yourself as VP candidate while on the VP selection committee because it served YOUR agenda well as your advanced the neo-con agenda, YOU sallied up to Karl Rove and participated in the intentional divide of this nation along ethnic, religious and political agendas that had NOTHING to do with protecting this nation and it’s people but rather protecting YOUR assets, YOUR rear end, YOUR privacy, YOUR corruption, YOUR associates and elite buddies, YOU spun, distored and played to the fears of the nation during some of the most horrendous days in our history following 9-11 and continue to do so and it was YOU you advanced the invasion of Iraq. If YOU Mr. Cheney have time on your hands and need something to do (creative or otherwise)….go decorate the graves of the 5,000 dead or volunteer to drive some of the children to school or take them to a ball game. I have such a distaste for you I pray I am forgiven, but calling forth evil is not an un-Christian thing to do – and you ARE EVIL.

Do we need to worry about a secret group of repubicians making a attack ?

Well Cheney, shame on you. I think you did enough damage, to me you are the terrorist. I wish you would keep your mouth shut, and let the new government repair all your mistakes.

The most evil American living today has the audacity to say Obama will make us less safer. Bush and Cheney weakened this country by starting a war in Iraq based on Neocon lies and deceptions. Thousands died for their lies. Bush and Cheney trashed the Constitution and ruined our economy. They were the enablers for the “greed is good” gang who raped America. I wish Cheney would hurry up and die though his soul has been dead for years. When it came to serve his country during wartime Cheney like ALL Neocons had “other priorities”! Worst American of ALL time! And most evil!

I bet there are many Republicans who are hoping for a terrorist attack because it would strenghten their party. Deep inside they would not care if innocent people died. I hope I am wrong.
———————
Yeah just like I bet many democrats wished for the war in iraq to be lost when Republicans were in charge…

Hey Mr. Cheney, you were virtually silent for eight years. It’s too late for you to put up – so shut up!!

A lot of people want Cheney to just shut and go back to Wyoming. I’d be happy to stop hearing him or about him, but I love Wyoming, and he’s not very popular there. How about if he goes to Texas instead?

Are ad homenim attacks the best most of you can do? No civility, just hostile name-calling.

Wow – can you imagine anything more inappropriate than this? And I want to know what he’s cooking up to make it happen just so he can prove his point. This guy is a criminal. He was the one who told the country not to question the president – he needs to take his own advice.

CHENY AND BUSH HAVE LOT OF NERVE JUST SHUT UP

I hope Cheney is wrong. I fear he is right. But if he is wrong, I will be estatic. I read the whole interview – not this piece alone provided by ABC – and he did praise Obama’s choice of keeping Gates. He also said he thought Obama’s administration might make some diplomatic headway where the Bush administration had failed. His fears were mostly on letting Guantanamo terrorists either go free or into stateside prisons where they could spread their anti-American venom. I don’t agree with everything the man or the previous administration did, but his fears are some that many share. Again, I hope we do not face major terrorist attacks. I hope that if it happens, we will blame the guilty and not think it was done internally by apposing political parties – I actually read that in these posts. I wish ABC would print a whole interview instead of trying to insight people with bits and pieces. Most don’t follow links or even read what is said – choosing to read bits and pieces. I encourage everyone to read the whole news from many sources – as the truth is often in the middle and we are way too polarized.

Judy Nope, republican hate filled…
Sorry, I just had enough of bush. And yeh, i’m pissed at what they did to this country.

John, careful now, those strokes can come on suddenly. Easy now, remember what the doctor said.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but didn’t the worst terror attack in US history occur with Cheney and Rumsfeld at the helm?

ComeOn. “the guy cheated in a major way on his taxes and Obama still says he’s the best guy for the job?”
If you were Daschle, wouldn’t you have expected the guy who owned the car and employed the driver to be responsible for paying the taxes? It wasn’t Daschle’s car, it belonged to his partner. And, gee, I thought Republicans wanted super successful people to keep “more of what is theirs.”

I am just SO shocked by this!
Wow!
Its sometimes hard to differentiate between whether Cheney is just being bitter, or genuine in his concern. Do any of his comments actually help out America, or is he just being critical as it’s a Democratic President making the decisions.
I do honestly believe Cheney has good insight, but I am not convinced his judgment is the best though.
I emailed this article to a friend of mine and her response:
Oh yes, Cheney’s the one to talk about HYPOCRISY!!!
Of course he’s the one who’ll defend the previous administration. He was
running it.

Cheney,in case you didn’t know, once you’ve become known as a cheap hooker you’re always a cheap hooker.

When our economy is greatly weakened our country is LESS safe. When our military is stretched beyond what it should be,and was done for a egotistic Neocon agenda our country is LESS safe. Bush and Cheney thus made America LESS safe! Plus much more hated world wide. Bush and Cheney created more terrorists then Bin Laden ever could! Our forefathers had to spinning in their graves over all of Bush and Cheneys misdeeds.

Amy- your knowledge on the tax code is showing through… You’re probably someone who thinks the government should fix all our problems. Maybe the government can pay all our taxes, and then we could let Daschle back in at HHS!
I’m for that!

He needs to SHUT UP! SHAME ON HIM!!
CHENEY AND HALIBURTON SHOULD BE THE ONE PAYING OR FUNDING THE BAILOUT MONEY. THEY CAN GET IT FROM THE HUGE PROFIT AND MONEY THEY POCKETED FROM THEIR OIL CONTRACT TO THIS WAR THEY CREATED!!!!

The funny or tragic thing about all of this is that if Bin Laden had taken over the USA on 9/12/01 he would have done most of the same things the Bush Cheney administration did as far as suspending basic rights and making the government a much more intrusive and untouchable and fascist leaning administration.
I think that this is a very profound thing. The Republicans and to some degree all of the our government have a lot more in common with these terrorist than most people will admit.
Question all authority always!
Don’t trust anyone in power ever!
Remember that it’s your birthright to question your government so do it!

Cheney,
Remember what you told Senator Lehey from Vermont to do when he asked you a question during a subcommittee investigation (something anatomically impossible)? Same to you buddy….
No room for you Dr. Strangelove, this is the 21st. century…
Didn’t you learn, we are tired of fear mongering..stay in Wyoming and practice your skeet shooting..couldn’t do that right either!
You are just a bitter old fool!

D.C. had eight years to show us he was incapable of making us any safer; he has some nerve to talk down about a guy who is just starting off.
Cheney’s slogan: “Been there, DIDN’T do that.”

It’s really impressive how so many of you can sit there and scream obscene comments and call for the deaths of our former President & VP while out the other side of your mouth you complain about their “hateful” politics. Height of hypocrisy. If you’re all about the Obama-rama’s rhetoric of “hope and change” then how do your ad-hominum, factless, rantings measure up? You offer zero evidence and just throw grenades and walk away. Weak.

awaywego677 tells us: “cheney rocks.”
That should read: “Cheney’s head is full of rocks.”

Bravo, J. I wish there were more Americans like you.

Cheney can go F himself!

Not enough evils are happening without the devil’s advocate (Cheny) in helm, and so Cheny speaks from behind the curtain.

I wonder what Cheneys approval rating is?
When I was a child the preachers tried to strike the fear of H.ell into us by talking about Saten. The picture they formed in my mind was what I now know to be the image of “D.ick Cheney”.
When he cocks his head and puts his evil eye on you doesn’t it give you the willies? Can’t you “see” the horns?
Now the ultra conservative christian right admires and believes every thing Devil Cheney and his deciple recruiters Rush Limpbaugh, Ann Coulter, and the other evil leaders of the extremist republican party tells them.
It is time for the true republicans to take their party back.

Oh, come on man. Where were you the last 8 years? You haven’t done a damn thing to protect our country ever since you became VP. All we’ve heard about is your failing health and your trouble with Halburton. I think you should keep your mouth shut and lay low. Don’t go backstabbin. Shame on you.

How did Cheney keep us safe? How? By shooting his lawyer? Yeah ok I’ll give him that.

Yes, and the old dog is taking flying lessons. Give it a rest, you crook.

On the stimulus bill: “It looks to me like there’s a lot of stuff in there that has nothing to do with stimulus — it’s a sort of a wish list of a lot of my congressional Democratic friends,” Cheney said. Does anyone need any more proof that it’s a good ol’ boys club?

They wish something would happen to bring attention to their “tough guy” stance. It has produced nothing. Consider the source!

Sadly, the only way you hatemongering leftists are going to realize Cheney is right in saying that Obama is making us less safe is AFTER we are attacked.
The Clinton years proved only too well that treating Islamic terrorism as a law enforcement issue was pure folly.

Oh, be afraid crowd, I believe that the transition did focus squarely on protecting the US and being ready for those issues. Unpaid taxes are another thing – but the people Obama has in security are credible and experienced. Republicans love to be terrified. go to a movie.

To all Republicans that will post good things about Cheney in here I have one thing to say to people like you: you’re no better then Cheney

for all you saying repubs made rush the voice of the party is baloney, if obama wasn’t being his usual arrogant self telling everyone and his freaking dog what to do like dictating who and what you can listen to, rush wouldn’t even be on the radar, all obama has done is get more people to listen to the many voices on the radio, rush isn’t the only voice in town, Obama keeps sticking foot in mouth time after time.

I have no doubt all you Rush,Bush and Cheney Rightwing traitors are hoping for a terrorist attack. Nothing would please you traitors more! Why are all your role models such evil, souless greedy people who are traitors to the true American way? Wake up and support America not some evil agenda by a politcal party and enabled by Rightwing hate radio propaganda.

Cheney is a private citizen who has a right to his opinion. I’m glad he’s speaking his mind, but I sure do hope he’s wrong.

Thanks Cheney for keeping the terrorist at GITMO and not my back yard. Bet all of you cry like babies when they tell you they are building a prison at your backyard for the terrorist.

ComeOn “Why is it democrats like to raise taxes, but don’t think they actually need to pay those taxes?”
This is a partisan attack if I ever heard one. And you claim you’re an Independent and just outraged to learn there are rich people with lots of perks who sometimes don’t pay taxes on their privileged lives? A) Democrats want tax levels on rich people to return to their pre-Bush levels, they don’t “enjoy raising taxes” and B) Republicans have just as many taxation/corruption problems as Dems, see Duke Cunningham, Ted Stevens, etc. etc. If you were truly an Independent, you’d know that.

Shouldn’t you be out hunting wolves with Palin? Go away already.

I am a Republican. I did not vote for Obama. However, he is now my president and I am going to pray for him and hope that he makes wise decisions for the sake of this nation. I may disagree with a lot of his policies, but I hope I can speak out against the policies and not personally attack him. I will agree that sometimes it is hard to separate the two. I have never heard such anger and hate against people like I’ve read on this blog. I do not one moment believe that Bush and Cheney have deliberately set out to hurt this country anymore than I believe that Obama is going to willfully hurt this nation. If you knew the things they know, you might understand their decisions better. Let’s have a little more discussion on the issues and less personal attacks, my dear liberal friends. “I feel your anger.”

Cheney, you just need to shut your trap !! You and Bush did enough damage as it is. Just stay out of it. The whole world is glad you are both gone. We don’t want to hear all the garbage coming out of your ugly mouth !!

With unemployed father’s shooting and killing their family on getting pink slips, how much more drama before the Republicans get real. It takes ingenuity with courage to make a miracle. The Republican mouth peices lack courage. It is best to deal with the ecomomic situation with a big bang – like a fire going out and turning to ashes unless you put sufficeint wood in there to make it flare and keep going for a long time. Short term remedies will not be the answer but rather a combination of short term and long term.

Obama is trying to clean up the mess left to him by Bush and Cheney,it will take years to straighten this country out! Rightwingers hope he fails because they ONLY care about their screwed up Rightwing aganda. They could care less about America and their fellow citizens. Rightwingers are self centered,souless traitors! No wonder Bush,Rush,Cheney,Coulter and Hannity are your role models!

I so scared, I know Bush/Cheney are always right LOL. Defense contractors like Haliburton are afraid their no bid contracts and all the money will go away.

You got to admit, Cheney is very experienced in knowing how to make the US vulnerable to attack. He and his puppet bush did everything to encourage terrorists to attack US interests and citizens for 8 horrible years. The echo continues. Why do you hate America, Cheney?

Is this going to be like his 9-11 attack 8 years ago?
Mr. Cheney, who was “confined” in a wheelchair so that he didn’t have to stand for Mr. Obama’s inaug?
Mr. Cheney, may God have mercy on your unrepentant soul.

We are listening to this guy, why???? If there were any justice in this country, Cheney would be in prison for war crimes. At the very least we should take away the microphone and move on.

“Why do you hate America, Cheney?”
He doesn’t hate America, he justs loves power and money more.

I’ve listened carefully but never heard Obama say a word about freeing the Gitmo prisoners. That suggestion is inserted by Cheney (and many others ) for fear effect only. Then,they contend or suggest that freeing them is Obama’s idea. That’s the exact kind of tactics that the name callers (who lack real arguments)love.

Why do we care what he has to say??? He and his buddies ruined this country. All he cares about is making money of the dead soldiers and keeping the people scared, a tactic the repubs have used for years.

There is very little that Obama could do to harm the American people more than what was done during the last eight years by Bush/Cheney. At least we are trying to get on the moral high ground. This guy needs to shut up and go home and stay there.

Israel has several hundred nuclear weapons in their arsenal. The problem is, absolutely nobody knows the exact number because Israel steadfastly refuses to share that information with anyone and they furthermore prevent any and all external inspections on these weapons.
If we are attacked with a nuclear weapon, it will most likely be a weapon from Israel’s arsenal. Israel’s Mossad intelligence agency is tasked with the job of protecting Israeli citizens at all costs. They will do anything, and kill anyone, to make sure that job is done. Someone earlier posted a message saying how a Mossad agent named Julal Aviv “predicted” 9/11 and the London Bombings one month before they happened. This Mossad agent is now “predicting” an attack on the US within two month. How is it that Israel also “knows” about this attack before it happens? Is it because the end result of the attack, which will be blamed on Iran through carefully scripted intelligence ‘leaks’ to the press, will result in the US being forced to “respond”? Israel will again get other countries to protect them, as they did with the Iraq war which was in response to 9/11.
Cheney opened the Pentagon’s Office of Special Plans and staffed it with several people loyal to Israel. Cheney knew all about 9/11 and the London Bombings, and he knows about this upcoming attack. The newly installed leaders of the CIA and Pentagon need to immediately open an investigation on Cheney and the now defunct Pentagon Office Of Special Plans before its too late.

Cheney needs to crawl back into that cave he’s been living in for the past eight years. He has been the most secretive and destructive vice president this country has seen since Agnew! He has never done a doggone thing for this country except use it to satisfy his own agenda and that of his cronies, making lots of money at the expense of the American people. He and Bush left this country in a mess! We are more hated around the world than we have ever been, thanks to those two losers. The repubs can say what they want, but the proof is in the pudding. Bush and his administration will go down in history as the worst and most corrupt. I truly hope the Dems have enough guts to start the investigations and reveal just how much Bush and his puppet master, Cheney, lied to the American people. They should be tried as war criminals! Let’s also not forget that thanks to Bush and Cheney diverting our resources to fight an unnecessary war, Bin laden is still at large. For some strange reason, they viewed Saddam Husein as a bigger threat. The only time we ever heard Bin laden’s name after the invasion and occupation of Iraq was when he sent video messages to the TV stations. He’s wondering how we could forget him, I guess. I mean, wasn’t he responsible for the 9/11 attacks. He thinks he is.

LOL! Cheney slacked the life out of America during those loooooooooong 8 years he was in power. Cheney’s opinion, his thoughts, his brain-wave activity — don’t matter.
Posted by: Lee-Usa
____________________________________
Right! When Osama Bin Laden sent terrorists to hijack planes and kill 3000 Americans, he was HELPING the country. When Cheney tried to defend the country against the terrorists, he “slacked the life out of America”. Yes, I can REALLY see your logic Lee!

CHENEY – Shut up and go away.

ComeOn “Obama was preaching “change.” Nothing’s changed in that regard.”
Here’s the change: Obama went on national TV and said he made a mistake nominating highly qualified people who turned out to have past tax issues. George Bush nominated unqualified people
like Harriet Miers, Mike Brown and Alberto Gonzalez who had to be removed because they couldn’t do their jobs. And he never apologized.

I am sick of all these oldies making decisions for the country, their old ideas for the 21st century has led us into this mess home and abroad in the first place.
So Cheney it time for you to go to hell now.

Poor Mr Cheney, discredited and disgruntled and now Obama cuts his paycheck from Halliburton.

Cheney = Sour grapes

Mr. Cheney, the largest attack on American soil happened under your watch. Your policies did not keep us safe.

I have never read so many misinformed, ignorant, and cowardly comments in my life. You leftists are really going to screw this country up.

If we are more vulnerable now, should we be publicizing it out to the world like that? That’s like telling everyone that you leave your front door unlocked and letting them know you keep thousands of dollars on the kitchen table. It will only invite would-be criminals to try. Why would he do that? And, when most terrorist want to die with their crime, it is a fair bet that they could care less about whether they are read their rights if they were to be caught.

America’s most hated citizen. HOnestly, I would love to see a survey done for most hated american. My bet, Cheney would get the number one spot.

Most of you people making comments on here are stupid idiots. You must be the fools that voted for “I screwed up”.

“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.
Wow, what a simpleton. What’s scary is when a person so clueless about what makes this country great is the VP. Glad it’s over.
__________________________________
Well, here’s another simple scenario for you. If you’re dead because a terrorist kills you, it will not make any difference if you’ve stuck by the book and read that terrorist his rights.

while I agree that an attempt could happen much of the responsibility will fall on the heads of Bush and Cheney who created hundreds of thousands more extremists who hate America. He is spouting off to try to justify his use of torture…might not want to bite the hand that is holding the liberal base at bay, Cheney. Tick him off enough and President Obama might decide that an investigation into your use of torture is a very sweet thing indeed.

The return of the devil—just when you thought he was in hell. Are there terrorists among us? If so, does Cheney know who they are? Or is he just wishing for an attack on America to make him feel good? This is treasonous and unpatriotic, coming from a man who systematically ruined this country. This miserable, dejected old man should have the decency to lay down somewhere and die so that we all can have peace of mind.

“You leftists are really going to screw this country up.”….HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!! ohhhhh, and republicans did such a BANNER job, eh????? Between launching WARS that never need be, killing over 4000 Americans in the process (you peopled killed MORE Americans than the terrorist on 9/11!!! Ever hear the wives-tale about beware of the ‘cure’ being worse than the illness!!???) you SCREW UP these wars with third world countries that drag out LONGER than WWII, a war which was waged during a DEPRESSION that spanned every continent on this planet, you KILLED our economy, more than TRIPLED the national debt on NOTHING – crap – NOTHING got accomplished, like teenagers with a credit card, our waters have MORE mercury, our air hasMORE Pollution, we are NOWHERE on green technologies for cars, or heat or electricity, an entire generation of students you did NOT invest in schools, we are graduating FAR LESS engineers, scientists and biologist than india, china and russia nad it SHOWS, our teen pregnancy rates have SHOT UP!!! our welfare rolls have INCREASED dramatically, there is a MUCH WIDER gap between the rich and poor and the middle class is evaporating, more and more ‘middle class’ are falling into poverty…..I honestly do not know what else is left ot ‘screw up”. we not QUITE in depression yet, but hey, republicans ARE trying to block the stimulus so it CAN happen,and we WILL blame you if it does!!

We are less safe b/c of the policies of the Bush administration regarding torture, invasion & occupation. It has fueled the hatred. And yes, the US’s largest attack happened under your watch Cheney. The Bush Administration chose to ignore the intelligence warning of the attack.

He had better watch what he says,
He doesn’t have Libby to throw under the bus now.

Cheney undermining our president and sitting around being afraid…btw, terrorists want to do exactly that, Cheney. They want to undermine our president and make us afraid. Who’s side you on Cheney?

There seems to be plenty of response to the first part so let me remind everyone that it was Cheney’s company Haliburton that got the no-bid Iraq contract. I don’t think he is in a position to tell anyone what is or is not on someone’s wishlist versus needed spending.

Cheney betrays his lack of education. He thinks the only solution is war. War is never an aswer. War begets more war. Those who live only by the sword die by the sword. Only people who agree to work together achieve peace. Peace is the goal isn’t it?

Estimated Iraqi civilian deaths around 90,000. We are just now able to get those numbers since these idiots are ot of office.
I guess that’s what inocent women and children get for hiding the terroists.
Cheny doesn’t care about humanity, he cares about no bid contracts and a 250000 dollar checks he gets from Haliburton.

“Well, here’s another simple scenario for you. If you’re dead because a terrorist kills you, it will not make any difference if you’ve stuck by the book and read that terrorist his rights”…..you simpletons dont get it..it’s about WHO WE ARE!!!!! Our founders got it. that’s why they CREATED the bill of rights. THEY were held for no reason, THEY were searched for no reason other than “safety”, those ‘threats’ to the crown and the ability of english soldiers to control us. THEY understood that freedom was dangerous and scary but WORTH FIGHTING FOR!!! Why are you republicans such cowards??? you want marshal law, spying on americans, holding people who have done nothing wrong….all because you’re scared. Well, buck up, the world is a scary place. But I dont want a facist society all in the name of being ‘safe”. Move to china if you want government oversight of every single freedom, you can have your media controlled, your internet controlled, spying on all citizens, secret police??? would that make you feel safe??? you coward. That’s called COMMUNISM!!!! Closing Gitmo is about keeping our soul. The ‘libs’ are the guardians of the soul of this country. My God, what violent unnecessary unGodlly things would the Repugs do were it not for the libs pulling them back reminding them of humanity.

Our country will probably take another terrorist hit of some kind, but it won’t be because Obama is in the White House. Cheney only knows to work fear as a cheesy Republican does. The earth will be hit by a life changing meteor as well, but you don’t use that to spread fear from your own political soapbox. Go away Cheney, just go away.

The embarrassment can’t end for what was once a great party. But when the base supports the likes of Cheney, Rush, Coulter, Samuel Wurzelbacher (Joe the Plumber), O’Reily, Hannity and other angry, biased voices; it makes it impossible to continue supporting this party or take it’s members comments seriously.

northpark–”Cheny needs to point the gun the other way next time.”
What love coming from the “party of tolerance.”
LIBERALS=HATE FILLED, UGLY AMERICANS

Hey NorthPark, don’t forget the new head of the RNC who said that the Govt has never created a job and yet because of the Govt, he just got a new one! How do you spell IDIOT?

Hey Jim hate to break it to you but BUSH was the one who nationalized out banks before obama even got there. Cheney is guilty of treason for outing a C.I.A officer cause hr husband discovered one of his lies about WMD. He should be in jail he did more damage to this country than bush himself and im not even a democrat and I know that.

Wow…do you all realize how ignorant you really are? This is a man who helped keep you safe the last seven plus years just so you can show your stupidity and make war crime charges against him. This man did the dirty work to keep you safe. You all would rather dwell on criminal charges that will never happening instead of what our country is currently facing. You all are the same people who voted in the least experienced president in our history (Obama), and he’s fumbling everywhere after just two weeks. You voted in a man with very questionable character…your judgement is no better than the peoples judgement who voted in Bush. Honestly, your Democrats are failing you…tax charges, legal issues, poor judgement and it has been two weeks. Get off the Kool Aid…you all are already starting to lose your power…elections will be here before you know it!!!!!!

His mom sure was spot on with his name, huh?

Cheney had his chance. Where did that put us in a war that we had no business in! If he is so concerned about “our” safety, why in the heck did he not find and kill Bin Laden? We can put a man on the Moon, but can’t find this guy, come on! Cheney YOU are the problem!

This is to Mark who said that Daschle and certain others should be put in jail. There are many others on the other side also that should be put in jail. As a military wife of a active duty member I want to say that Bush and co lied to us about these WMD’s Mark so I think that if you want to put anyone in jail for anything then you probably should start with Bush and work your way down. So many US military and Iraqi civilians died because of his lies and that is something that I will not forgive him on ever. Bush is a coward for never going to one funeral of a US military person that he sent there based on his lies. Whose to say that all the resources that were sent to Iraq instead of where they needed to go to Afghanistan then just maybe we may have had Bin Laden already. We will never know though.

Somebody drop this war profiteer in the middle of Anbar…

Hey – Peggy | Feb 4, 2009 12:41:32 PM – of COURSE you are “nervous” about President Obama’s “radical and pro-Islam directions”. You’ve been listening to rant talk shows too long.
This may come as a surprise, but there are other valid options to warmongering, such as negotiations, respect, cooperation, and peace. And guess what? Even right wing Bible thumping Christian zealots need to live peacefully with the followers of Islam. There are between 1.2 to 1.5 billion of them.

bunch of whiny p*ssies…who cares?

I love how everyone is so eager to pick apart Cheney for talking about Obama’s policies. I’m not saying the man is right, but just 6 months ago Obama was tearing apart every inch of the Bush campaign. Can you say ‘Hypocrite?’
I like most of the stuff Obamas doing. But I see both sides of this. No need to blindly follow Obama, just because he is who he is. Think, people. That’s all.

Cheny is lying, of course. I can see from all the other comments that most of the world has figured this out.
But this is no surprise. The surprise is that Cheney could fool himself into thinking that he can accomplish ANYTHING with such a transparent lie.
So why is he even bothering to do it? Could it be that in his thoroughly twisted mind, he thinks this is the way to protect the reputation and ‘legacy’ of the Bush administration?
I know this sound hard to believe, but his mind really is that twisted: he really does not understand that the reason the people elected Obama is that they just don’t BUY Bush’s nonsense anymore; nor Cheney’s.

We should always rally behind our president in matters of facing the enemy. Dems I’ve always spoken with want success in our foreign affairs, but none of them have ever said we “hope the president fails”. Cheney and Limbaugh are arrogant narcissists who can’t stand losing power, they aren’t thinking straight at all going around saying we “hope the president fails”. I don’t think they like America, or elections, or opponents of thier views being in charge, althought thats exactly what the constitution is all about. The president has been in for 2 weeks and already they’ve started a hate campaign. It’s got to stop. America we have to grow up.

Hey get off the kool aid.
Get of the crack pipe.

Isn’t it unpatriotic to critisize the president. At least it was when Bush and Cheney ran the show.

He’s worried that Obama won’t keep us safe? Hey buddy, you clowns are the ones that let 9/11 happen, despite tons of warnings from the previous administration and the intel community.

For those that think we are safer now is highly misinformed and probably believe that their girlfriend spends the night at her ex’s house for the kids. First of all, if it weren’t for the criminals dying in the plane on 911 we wouldn’t even know who they were. 2nd. There have been several anthrax issues since – I call that terrorism and there have been zero arrests – which also happened on Bush’s watch. 3rd. Since 911 more Americans have died than on that day – in Iraq and Afgan mountains – so safer – no. For all we know, 911 could have been a rogue group of crazies that had their i.d. stolen to serve up and coming terrorist groups.

I think this man has graduated to the most hated american alive. When people speak of bush it’s usually to say he’s stupid, delusional, someone who thinks God talks to him. While people are disgusted with bush I think they mostly think his main problem was mental impairment. with Cheney, they think he is evil. Folks hate him. just hate, viseral hate. It’s pretty amazing that he didn’t run for president, being the VP of a two term presidency. That is how much heand the republican party knows how much he is hated. yet he spouts off his mouth. why? A few days after rush announces he hopes the economy collapses so republicans can gain power. Is the republican party TRYING to kill itself??? They are so self destrustive at this point, the next thing you’ll see is McCain having man-sex on a video. This is a playbook of “how to get your party to be hated even more”.

Could someone throw his/her other shoe at him, PLEASE??

Cheney says that after his administration has aligned every terrorist in the world against the U.S. AND when Obama is just continuing Bush’s policies across the board aside from some irrelevant tidbits thrown to the masses to make them think that Obama is bringing “Change”. More “Change you won’t believe! Wake up folks!

OMG it has started already” An explosion that critically injured the chairman of the Arkansas Medical Board was caused by a bomb, police said. Dr. Trent Pierce was wounded when the car blew up in front of his West Memphis, Arkansas, home, authorities said. “It’s a terrorist attack on Dr. Pierce, and we don’t know why someone would do this,” said Police Chief.” se CNN for rest of story. Cheney was right the terrorists are coming.

This is nothing new, the VP has always been the verbal attack dog. Let’s hope there isn’t another terrorist attack. BTW 9/11 happened on Bush’s watch, but it was planned and practiced on American soil after the twin tower bombings on Clinton’s watch. Everything good and bad that happens to this country is due to both parties.

Does anyone remember 911? What were they to do. Sit around and watch more people die. Wait and see it will be Obama that sits and watches. What did the democrates do, they voted and now look where we are headed.STRAIGHT TO HELL. Thanks!!!!!!!!!!

Come on, let the guy shoot his mouth off. The more interviews he gives, the fewer elderly lawyers are being shot in the face.

Shut up Cheney and go find a hole and die! You are the terrorist Mr. Cheney. You and Bush destroyed our country in every conceivable way. Go die!

Get off the Kool-Aid posted: “Honestly, your Democrats are failing you…tax charges, legal issues, poor judgement and it has been two weeks.” (…by the way, the word judgment has no “e” in the middle unless you are a Brit.) Tell you what. Let’s do tax audits on every single member of Congress. None of these people got to where they are by simply being upstanding patriots.
What’s wrong with putting CEOs, bankers, Wall Street, and politicians on notice that they have to follow rules?

Will someone please tell Cheney that there is also a high probability that the Republican party will cease to exist altogether. For those of you who don’t know, there is a new sherrif in town and he means business!!!!!!!!

Boy the extremist angry lefties are really vocal today. What do I think? I would like to thank Cheney and Bush for the last seven years, since there have been terrorist attacks in almost every country except the USA. I wonder why. And I don’t think Obama has to worry about terrorists destroying the USA. His socialist agenda will probably destroy it first, just like it’s been destroying Europe.

Wow, so many angry “shut up shut up” comments. The man might just have a point that you dont want to hear. The truth hurts doesn’t it.

Slodown – You are right. My point was that we already have terrorist among us. Timothy McVeigh, Eric Roudolph, Unibomber etal. They do not have to be Arab, Alqueda etal to be terrorists.

So what, there was a foreign terrorist attack under Bill Clinton, but the next administration wasn’t smart enough to place security measures on the airlines when they took office. What an idiot Cheney and Bush were. Then they let the terrorists attack again.

Cheney and Rumsfeld are terrorists too. They planted the Anthrax in our mail!

yeah yeah Cheney, you have stirred up the radicals in the middle east with 2 wars, Abugraib, Gitmo and a lack of diplomacy and you are going to blame a unknown atrocity on President Obama for getting something done on the Gitmo residents.
Perhaps if your people would have had evidence to hold them, maybe they would have been tried earlier.

What were the Republicans doing while Osama Bin Laden and Al Qaeda were plotting a massive attack on US soil??? They were wildly fixated on the stain on Monica Lewinsky’s dress. That’s what they were thinking about. That’s where they were putting a ton of money and a ton of the government’s energy.
So enough from them. Their credibility has gone to the dogs.

remember how saddam hussein hid in the bunkers; maybe, that’s what all these politico enforcers will do while we the good guys get attacked

This man should be imprisoned for the rest of his life for war crimes. Fear as a means of control – and a justification for the evisceration of the Constitution -was soundly defeated in the last election. This appropriately-named criminal has done more to damage this great country than anyone in history…and history will damn him.

Bush and Cheney didn’t want to catch bin_Laden, he was a great friend. They could have arrested him while he was in the U.S. after 9/11 but they just let him go……http://www.judicalwatch.org/6322.shtml

You all should be kissing his butt. This country is much safer today. When was the last time we were attacked? Yea, 7 years ago. I, like Cheney and those who understand the realities of the world we live in, know the terrorists were cheering for a Democrat to win. After Clinton stood by on his watch and did nothing when our interests were attacked, they can expect more of the same from B.O. It was so easy to campaign on closing Cuba down, but he has ABSOLUTELY NO PLAN on what to do with the people there. He will end up bumbling thru it like he is trying to pick cabinet folks who ARE NOT TAX CHEATS. Change We Can Believe in became a joke far faster than anyone ever imagined. Hoping the next 4 years go really fast!!!!

If there is another terroist attack its because Cheney will order it from his slumdog friends.
Cheney has been in his bunker hiding from the Us citizens for 8 years ony making public appearences for lobbyist fundraisers. then lol appears at the inauguration in a wheel chair looking feeble and ill , NOW HE HAS FOUND HIS VOICE??????????
PLEASE PRINT HIS HOME ADDRESS SO WE CAN ALL SEND HIM A GET WELL CARD PERSONALLY.
INSTEAD OF POSTING ON A PHANTOM THREAD.

Well, Cheney is correct on one thing though. If we do get attacked here in the US, it’s all on Obama now.

rich, that should have been http://www.judicialwatch.org/6322.shtml You are right as this investigation may incriminate Bush & Co.

Cheney for President. BHO is a joke already and the best friend the muslims that want to kill us will ever have.

I absolutely agree with Ordermonger. If ther is a terror attack within the next 3 years you can bet it was set in motion by the missteps of the Bush administration. The Bush administration claim that it was their actions that kept us safe, reminds me of an old joke about the guy who goes everywhere with an elephant gun and believes ther are no elephants around because he always carries the gun. I do think we need better inspections of import containers and border crossings to increase our safety, but destabilizing the Middle East and the Guantanamo solution did not make us safer.

Hey bleeding hearts…. what would you have done with terrorist combatants? I haven’t heard one suggestions other than what we did was wrong??? Anyone, anyone??? I doubt 90% of the goofs that are psoting even understand the issues. We did and are doing exactly what we need to be doing, but that won’t be more evident when B.O. lets them go back to the countries. God help us.

Tony T,
Bush and Cheney had no idea what to do with the detanies either. That is why the left it to Obama. Even if all of them want to fight us, we should not be afraid of the few that are in that prison. You are assuming they are all terrorist. That has yet to be proven. Just because Bush and Cheny say they are doesn’t mean squat. They have lied about everything else why wouldn’t they lie about that too.

President Obama wants to do something to help us all out. I know the Dems had thrown things into the stimulus bill like: honeybee insurance and replacing the grass in the Washington Mall; those items have been dropped. Nonetheless, the Republicans are against everything that President Obama is trying to do. How do the Repubs think that tax cuts will work, if they did not work when Bush was in office. Dems and Repubs are too different in their ideologies. President Obama may not be able to get much done, but he will keep trying. Cheney is a fool. He needs to roll his wheel chair deep into the woods and disappear.

And this shows nothing of Obama’s worst plans to make Americans unsafe … his plans to Globalize the U.S. Constitution by marginalizing the 2nd Amendment and disarming the law-abiding citizenry. This will be the ultimate act to permit terrorists to strike again at home, by taking away our Basic Human Right to Self-Defense. See GunBanObama DOT com

Bush and Cheney knew exactly what to do, LEAVE THEM IN CUBA. I still haven’t heard what Obama plans to do yet, but I am guessing he LEAVES THEM IN CUBA. He, like Bush cannot risk letting them go only to find out they come back and kill Americans again. And putting them in our jails is just throwning money away.

Ugh! Why isn’t he in jail yet. And why is he getting airtime?

Tony T,
Are you sure they all killed Americans?
Your making a lot of assumptions there.
So you say just round up a bunch of people, call them terrorist, torture them, and just leave them in prison for eeternity. That is justice?

So glad to see the overwhelming response to Cheney’s tactics. Finally the american people recognize the fearmongering which has driven the policies of the past 8 years. We’re not going to take it any more…pay no attention to the man behind the curtain. When all else fails play on the fear of the masses…that’s all the republicans have to give. Just look back over the past 8 years and that’s all the’ve ever had to offer…..

I agree with Cheney. Obama cares more about political posturing than he does about the safety of our families.

While I do agree that some of these comments on here are out of line and over the top, let’s not forget the offensive comments from the other side (the less than tolerant party.) You KNOW what your comments are! With that out, I CANNOT believe the RNC, its ilk, and what they are doing!
First, it was that horrid and devisive campaign. Skipping over much to Rush Limbaugh’s; “I hope he fails,” and now this! Here, you have Cheney subtly begging the terroists to attack SINCE it is his opinion that we are now vulnerable.
IF HE REALLY, REALLY FELT LIKE THIS SHOULDN’T HE CALL THE WHITE HOUSE? THE REPUBLICAN LEADERS WHO ARE STILL IN OFFICE IN WASHINGTON? Wouldn’t that be the patriotic thing to do rather than continue on with this fright and scare tactical scenario?
I’m sure our current leaders would accept his call–even President Obama!
Don’t these people (the RNC & their kind) have ANY regard for our country OR love for it? Or is it solely about party politics?
I mean basically what they are saying is; “I don’t think the pilot can fly this plane! I hope he crashes–even if I’m on it!”

I second that. Cheney, Why don’t you just disappear off the face of this Earth. You are just EVIL… He SHOULD be tried for WAR CRIMES… I hope someone has the balls to do it….

Chuck,
I did not believe any president can prevent a crazy person with a backpack of explosives from doing what they do.
I do believe that bombing the he!! out of people is the wrong approach. We need assistance from the good people and the leaders of these countries to stop this. Bombing them only makes matters worse. Presidents seem to have little effect on crime in this country, so why should I expect them to have an affect on another country. I can tell you this. If I were an average citizen in Iraq and come home from work to find my wife and family blown up by Americans, I just may pick up a gun and start firing back. It would not matter to me what your reasoning for being there was.

D I C K,
S T F U!!!!

Got to hell Cheney…..and take Georgie boy with you! Americans will never forget you and what you did to our country. Go home and shut up you sorry excuse for a human being.

message to texas outlaw
To find a liar (especially a terrorist) to speak there is sometimes reason for tougher ways to get them to speak,
Of cource you can be right in some areas, but overall Bush and Cheney had one goal (no more terrorist attacks in the USA)There has not been one yet. AFTER 911 PEOPLE SAID WHY DIDN’T THE GOVERNMENT WARN US, NNOOWW YYOOUU AARREE BBEEIINNGG WWAARRRNNNEEDD. OBAMA IS FIGHTING FOR PEACE BUT NO JUSTICE. IT WILL CAUSE DISASTER /Pat FINLAND

Remember when Cheney was VP he said it was dangerous to criticize the president during the war on terror, that it invited attack by our enemies. Now 2 weeks out of office he’s undercutting our current president on protecting the nation. He was a power hungry disaster as vp who should be behind bars, not stirring up trouble when our nation is in crisis due to his f-ups.

Cheney belongs in a jail cell. Better yet, he deserves to be given the ultimate sentence for being a Traitor to his country! Put this sniveling, evil being where he belongs!

That’s right Cheney, challenging the enemies
with stupid things like your puppet brother Bush
said. What did it get us, 8 years of BS. This guys medication for his back pain needs adjusting. Maybe he has the same supplier as Limbaugh

awaywego677: Your inane commentary clearly demonstrates your monumental ignorance of facts, policy, and – quite frankly – education.

Cheney seems to have inside information about pending terrorist attacks. I say we try waterboarding and find out what he knows.

Now that Iran has launched a satellite into space, how long do you think it will take Iran to launch a rocket into the US???? Just a question.

Thank you Cheney, You did a good job, I wish you a nice retirement.
May God through Jesus Christ give wisdom to Obama to continue to Defend Your people. Pat Finland

He waits until he gets out of office to put his two cents in. If he is so smart instead of putting peoples ideas down make some of his own ideas.

That’s all he knows. He has no capacity for nuance. It’s a sad life for him, though. Think about how his mind works. It’s all negative and war. What a burden this man has to live with.

I hear Cheney will play Dr Evil in the next Austin Powers movie.

Yes you are wrong, as a republican I do not ever want a terriorist attack. Even if there was another one you liberals would find some way to blame it on the Republicans. You call us the hearless ones when your motto is “Save the polar bears kill the babies” Right!

meghan: You may comment when you grow up have some experience in life. Clearly that has not yet transpired.

Hey Rightwingers why are all your role models so souless and evil? Why do you always want what’s worst for America? What marching instructions did Rush give you today? True Americans want to know.

About 90% of the above comments left and right) are misguided. I don’t say this maliciously. Why can’t we have a healthy discussion about this? (I am including my fellow liberals in this). Few of these comments are adult. I believe Cheney’s comments are more fear-mongering because I believe that’s really all he knows. I respect you if you disagree. I don’t understand why someone thinks he is trash or why someone thinks because I disagree with them that I am bad. Obama maybe wrong on this or other issues. I am willing to consider that. But he has been a complete gentleman at every turn. Maybe we should try that.

Why don’t you republican trailer park trash shut up. Go back and finish school, then MAYBE you might become a useful member of society like us LIBERALS.

Loaded comments like this from Cheney clearly demonstrate his opinion of US citizen intelligence. He really thinks we’re stupid, doesn’t he?

Cheney is a dishonest crook who is largely responsible for the suffering this country is currently experiencing. He is a pathetically unhappy person. Who cares what he thinks!!!

Cheney, you are a sick old man!

You are a stupid ninny, you should have practiced what you preached when you were in office with dum head

Posted by: rightwingrick | Feb 4, 2009 10:45:27 AM
I bet there are many Republicans who are hoping for a terrorist attack because it would strenghten their
….For you to think that all republicans care about is being in office you are quiet mistaken. I am a republican and I pray that President Obama has a very productive 4 years (maybe 8) and to suggest we want an attack and innocent lives be taken is stupidity on your part. Get over yourself.

Cheney, you have the right to remain in silence, please exercise that right!

Cheney’s idea of “safe” is all American citizens under house arrest with extensive FBI and NSA files.
I’ll trust my luck without a police state, thank you.

Shut the hell up Cheney! We’ve all heard enough from you.

This is probably one of the saddest things I have ever read. Hatred is an awful thing. I am a republican but do not want Obama to fail. I didn’t vote for him but he is MY president and is in charge of a country that I love. It’s sickening that some of you would say that republican’s want the country to be attacked again to make Obama look bad. You should always be careful about grouping people by what you may know to be true about a few crazy people. I am actually not a fan of Cheney’s either. We need to let the history books do the judging of Bush and Cheney and look forward. You can’t blame the president without also blaming congress and all the democrats that also supported the war. These times were predicted in the book of Revelations regardless of what you believe.

Hey all…I have to say hear, after reading all of these rants…that anytime so many folks are this negative, it’s time to step back and pray for wisdom. This stream reminds of that other horrible day when the crowd was offered the theif, after being asked what they would do with the innocent one…in their self righteousness yelled…CRUCIFY HIM!
God, Bless our president with the courage to stand up for what is right…give him wisdom in his choices and surround him with the men and women that will be perfect for this day…open the eyes of understanding so he will make choices that are beyond the scope of politics and that will turn our nation back to you. Help us Oh God…heal our land, we repent…amen

BLACK POWER! I don’t like Cheney but he does have a point. When the white man was in office, the US was safe. Now that a half Negro is in office, everyone wants to jump ship and complain how this country is going down the wrong track. Bush and Cheney were horrible but they did some good, albeit not much. Back to the Negro family, they need to get in their Cadillac-Tank and head for the mountains because Cheney and Bush are the real terrorists! Everyone needs to get real and face reality. Obama and the Jungle Bunny Family is the best this nation ever had.

It’s too early to tell for sure, but from what I have seen and heard, this guy Obama is nothing but a major screw-up waiting to happen.

So all of you Cheney haters are willing to let Obama make you unsafe? Well, I have 2 young kids and I don’t want our great country to be attacked again and Obama is opening every door for it to happen. The man is a joke in his 2 weeks in office – lord please help us all.

Chaney needs to shut his mouth along with the other conservative pigs who gave us the last 8 years. Why they go to Section 60 in Arlington and view their handy work.

Does anyone honestly feel safe with this upstart and stooges running our country? Obama has made blunder after blunder already – has no idea how to manage and lead but those of us who actually paid attention already knew this before he was elected. This Pork Bill he’s pushing will assure his term is all but over before May if it’s not changed to rid it of the billions for ACORN, STD Prevention and other entitlements. It’s worse than I could ever have imagined. So much for Change that I can believe in….

To all the Cheney haters. What are you going to do to terrorists when they bomb us again? Tickle em with a feather until they give you the information you want? What will you tell your neighbor or family if you loose someone in a terrorist bombing? This isnt a joke and these people are not kidding. They want to kill us. They chop of heads, mutilate bodys before they kill them.

ComeOn… Why do the Republicans think there is only one political party in the USA that can do anything ‘right’???
As for Cheney – why does the media even give time to him?
Why do Republicans think President Obama should have everything streightened out in 2 weeks – when the
Rs screwed it up for 8 years?

David, I’m well aware of our elected officials’ failures…just read the Stimulus Bill that will, no doubt, be the end of Barack Obama. It’s 80% pork, not stimulus.
Why don’t you move to France if you want to live in socialism and hold enemies hands and rub their backs before they kill you?

Jen says, “We need to let the history books do the judging of Bush and Cheney and look forward.” Since it’s in our country’s best interest to change direction when things have gone wrong, it’s also worthwhile to look at the history of the past 8 years to determine whether our country should continue Cheney’s policies.
You also state, “These times were predicted in the book of Revelations regardless of what you believe” It’s this kind of thinking that promotes the belief that Israel has a God-given right to the lands of Palestine, or the bizarre interpretation that war (or torture) is acceptable because it is part of a Biblical “prediction”.

Jack, you are such a dumb @ss. You obviously had noone killed during 911 or the Cole bombing… “oh it will never happen to me” you’re one of those. So I guess the war on Terror is just s bumper sticker? The Cole was attacked under Clinton and so was the WTC… So we shouldn’t try to protect ourselves is what you are saying… you hate Bush so much you are willing to put the lives of American’s in harms way? Punk @ss m*f*er

I knew someone who was last heard from by his wife on the top of the Trade Center 1 so please, don’t preach your liberal nonsense to me. Bush kept us safe for the last 8 years and I’m forever grateful.

Obamas approval rating had a +28 index the day
he took the oath and today it is +18. So be careful
what you all say about the previous office.

This coming from one of the men who presided over the worst attack ever on American soil. He has the gall to even suggest that they kept us safe. They didn’t even though the intelligence was there, even though they were in office for nine months before it happened. He’s disgusting!

Reading some of your comments, I now understand how someone with no experience, a marxist, could be elected as our President.

Most terrorists kill themselves when they are carring out an attack.Why is it that Cheney and so many “right-wing” Americans beleive that aggressive interrogation is going to deter them.Terrorists don’t fear death.True I beleive that alot of America’s efforts have stopped a terrorist attack, but what Cheney and so many republicans fail to point out is that maybe God has been protecting us as well.Republicans should not be taking all the credit for us not being attacked.Maybe the prayers of Americans and others have delayed or stopped this type of attack on innocents.

Mel, it isn’t “hating” to be aware of our elected officials failures.
Obama is closing the doors that Cheney and Co. opened. (Your opinion of his first two weeks is biased … you choose to swat knats instead of seeing morning birds…)
God has blessed us by making us aware that the politics of fear do not work.

Well it IS hating when you say things like “Drop Dead Cheney” or “I pray that Cheney dies of a heart attack on the operating table”.
In Cheney’s mind, he is trying to defend his country. When you all want Cheney to die of a heart attack on the operating table are you trying to defend the country or are you thinking of something else?
Personally, I think the issue here is the fact that Cheney is a Republican. I think you not only disagree with Republicans, you HATE Republicans to the point of wanting to kill them. Hitler ALSO wanted genocide. Osama Bin Laden too.

Chaney has a lot of nerve saying that Obama’s policies because it was the Bush Administration’s policies that have made us less safe and help not just our economy but the entire world economy. As a part of the Bush Administration Chaney was part of the problem so I agree with who ever said Chaney should go beep himself.

Seems to me I remember Bill Clinton receiving warnings specifically about Osama Bin Laden and yet he did nothing…What exactly was his plan for keeping Americans safe and what is Obama’s plan?? Everybody sing Kumbaya and hold hands???

Wow! It doesn’t look like Obama has brought
people together.

Barrack Hussein Obama! You guys think he is really going to make us safer? Falling before the feet of Muslims are not going to get us there. Iran has called us week after is interview to an ilslamisc news station… you guys are idiots. The terrorist will not rest till you are converted or your head is cut off… I wish you sons of b!tches had the nuts to say that liuberla crap in public… Can’t wait till one of ya’ll do… I’ll be there to set you straight hommie. Knock your block off completly… yes it’s a threat, just like the terrorist… don’t you have the urge to kiss my @ss now?

How can the following intelligence be “WRONG”, as Cheney claims? The following things are LIES, not mistakes: 1. We were told that Iraq had mobile biological weapons laboratories, and we were SHOWN DRAWING of these supposed laboratories. Who drew those drawings? They didn’t just pop out of nowhere! Somebody MANUFACTURED them by MAKING THEM UP! 2. We were told that Iraq had an fleet of UAVs capable of dropping bombs, when in fact they had a half-dozen balsa-wood radio controlled planes with cheap cameras attached to them. 3. We were told that Iraq had a ‘vast’ underground network of buildings where they were conducting weapons research. Remembers those? The ones we were SHOWN DRAWINGS of, and the ones Bush said we needed to develop nuclear bunker busting bombs for? Well, THEY DON’T EXIST! 4. We were told that Iraq was harboring Osama Bin Laden. That was also a bald faced LIE. I’ve left out several dozen more examples.

marco,
There you go saying things like “when you all want Cheney to die…”
We haven’t ALL said that. Your hyper partisan comment just doesn’t hold water.
Personally, I’m not a member of a political party and have no hatred for anyone based on something as mundane as that.
Get your own eye clear before you start trying to find blindness in others.

ABC had a news report on last night about Obama wanting to make friends with Iran and repairing the rift between the two countries.
They then cut to a shot of a crowd of Iranian men with their hands in the air shouting “Death to America”.
Yeah, I feel so safe.

Who gives a flying !$%#*& what Cheney thinks. Go fishing old man!

“Yes you are wrong, as a republican I do not ever want a terriorist attack. Even if there was another one you liberals would find some way to blame it on the Republicans.” Hmmmm, kind of like the way you neo-cons like to blame 9/11 on Clinton. The hypocrisy of neo-con nation is showing again!!

2007 report conclusion, which found that medical errors caused up to 98,000 deaths annually and should be considered a national epidemic.

For those of you who do not remember, all of our woes with terrorists and bad relations with all people from the middle east stem from Bush the First. After the first Gulf War, Bush the First started bulding military installations in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. No wonder they have a problem with us!! Thank you jerk hole the first. And Cheney was part of that joke too. I guess the joke is on us.

Cheney himself scares me, he apparently knows something, maybe he’s the one creating the attacks, very scary indeed!

Can someone roll his wheelchair over a cliff in Wyoming, preferably while he’s sitting in it?

Stacie-Are you 10? Cursing and name calling makes me think you are. You have an opinion and now I have one of you…You are either 10 or your an adult with no class. Whichever direct your hatred somewhere else and leave me alone.

Sorry Stacie, I meant Center One

Cheney needs to stop trying to run this country even more and let people get on with there lives. He should rot in prison for the rest of his days.

This is probably one of the saddest things I have ever read. Hatred is an awful thing. I am a republican but do not want Obama to fail. I didn’t vote for him but he is MY president and is in charge of a country that I love. It’s sickening that some of you would say that republican’s want the country to be attacked again to make Obama look bad. You should always be careful about grouping people by what you may know to be true about a few crazy people. I am actually not a fan of Cheney’s either. We need to let the history books do the judging of Bush and Cheney and look forward. You can’t blame the president without also blaming congress and all the democrats that also supported the war. These times were predicted in the book of Revelations regardless of what you believe.
Posted by: Jen—————–As a long time Republican that turned Ind and supported Obama you remind me of the mind set that is what is right with some republicans.You obviously put country first and do not live to find failure in our new President. I wish there were more like you.

Wow, want a bunch of punks. You whine about Cheny, you whined about Clinton. It wont be long before you will be whining about O’Boma. You deserve what you get, which be joblessness and welfare. At least till that runs out. Clinton took care of that. But I am sure that O’Boma will revise the welfare system so we can get it back to what it was before Clinton tore it up.

Cheney and Palin PLEASE go away !!!
They are like roaches or something!

Cheney-
We see your warnings for what they are. A last ditch attempt to keep the American people enslaved in a world of fear and economic oppression. The international banking system benefits from war, and no doubt you want to keep your kickbacks now that you’re unemployed.
Your administration failed; destroyed our country. You are a warmonger and a criminal. Keep your mouth shut you piece of human garbage.
k – thanks – bye,
Ben

Pottwt,
Go back out into the woods and shoot something. I am sure it will make you feel better!
Just stay out in your shack and shake like a scared little wussy you are.

WHEN DOES HIS WAR CRIMES TRIAL BEGAN. It is so ironic that this idiot had nothing to say to the American people, didn’t even see this jerk, and now he has so much to say. You’re a liar, and who’s listening to you anyway. Go Away. Where does he get the notion that He and Bush did nothing to keep this country safe, they weren’t intelligent enough. Nobody is going to be bullied by you two any longer.

I’ve looked all over this site for the story about the Sarah Palin-Ashley Judd feud – it’s all over all the other news sites but can’t find it anywhere on ABC.

We have met the enemy and it is Cheney.

Shirley- The so call masses did not speak 47% spoke for McCain and Palin and about 52% spoke for the obama. That does not say he is the chosen one it only says he got the most votes but a good part of America did not want him. Me I will support him but he has made major mistakes so far. Maybe he will learn as he goes along but the damage is starting to get out of hand if this pork bill of his goes through not even talking about Gitmo which was his biggest mistake. But most of us understand that he has only 4 years then he will be gone and forgotten.

I guess Bob agrees.
Cheney’s a tool, who hates this country and wants us to fail, so he can laugh.
And he’s a terrible hunter.
And he smells like old man.
Lynn Cheney is hot, though…

Which dim wits, the republican ones who are scared out of their minds because of his words, or the democratic ones who hate d.i.c.k?

Cheney is a COMPLETE… LET ME REPEAT THAT… COMPLETE __________ MORAN~~ He is nothing but a FAT BIGIMIST PIG THAT NEEDS TO SHUT HIS DAM MOUTH! Does anyone remember “Fahrenheit 911”? HELLO!! Halliburton!
I honestly believe he should be deported. He did NOTHING IN 8 YEARS.. Actually 12 years counting when he was with idiot #1 GB-Sr. And to top it off… He gets hurt on moving boxes. WHATEVER. If that wasn’t the biggest PR stunt. What they should have done is wheeled him right over the balcony of the capital platform! He is lower then dirt. He is pathetic. Like I said he needs to be deported out of our country! He is nothing but a BIGIT!! A complete FAT ________ BIGIT!!!!

If his comments seem familliar it is because he made the same ones in September 2004. When he warned that a Kerry presidency would place the US in danger of antohe attack. Then again in June of ’07 when he again warned that changing of ideologies (ie) parties would place the US in danger of another attack. You remember..Ron Paul countered by saying it would be carried out by Cheney himself?
The US will always be in danger of antoher attack no matter who is in charge. However, I would not expect a former vice-pres..to weigh in and offer ideas.

CHENEY IS SPOT ON!!!
I worry for my family and friends. We need to protect our people first, not the DAMNED TERRORISt.
Wake up people!

Steve? How is D.i.c.k right on? Stop being scared, and be specific.
(mod, you got my Erin reference, right?)

Cheney was the de facto President all along. He used Bush as his front man.
That is why Cheney always remained behind the scenes. Now that he’s out of office, he feels safe to make his threats openly.

Why do we have to hear from this jerk-hole? He should be over in the Hague for war crimes and in the Penitentiary here for stealing our own government blind. Maybe he’s p’d off because he isnn’t vice dictator anymore. This is simply sedition to be fearmongering when this president has only been three weeks in office. You never hear the former presidents come out and undermine his power and right to act as president. And to slander Obama in his thrrd week in office with his usual fear mongering. Why is the newsmedia catering to this fear mongering criminal who should be in prison. He should be tried for outing Valerie Plame, he should be tried for all the billions of dollars unaccounted for under Halliburton and KBR, he should be tried for lying to the public about the threat in Iraq and starting an internationally illegal war and having all the secrecy about our energy policies and his midnight hunting party with Scalia…This man has absoulte gall for coming out like this to undermine a new sitting president before he can even establish his authority. He should be taken to an undisclosed location in Guantanamo and a little waterboarding would be good for him. This shows the absolute gall, arrogance and lack of ethics and highhandeness of the GOP. They’re out of power and they’re basically pushing for a coup d’etat. These people should be jailed for the mess they made of the economy. I bet behind the scenes they’re threatening him saying “if you don’t turn over power to us, we’ll come assassinate you.” Obama needs learn Lincoln’s lesson real fast. Never trust the right wing. NEVER. What Cheney is doing is worse than gall, it’s sedition and undermining the legitimately elected leader of the United States. Holder needs to press chagres on this man for his past crimes.

Hey Cheney, just sit back and relax, because another attack WILL happen on Obama’s watch. Then you can sit back and laugh your ass off when Obama tucks tail and runs!

Did someone forget to tell Cheney
that he was fired?

Is this a great country or what? You know if we do get attacked as Cheney suggests, he will say -”see, I told you so” – on the other hand, if we do not, then he will say, “see my words of warning worked”. Either way folks, Cheney is our man – no, was our man -no, never was our man – oh well. His mama loved him!

This thread needs to be cleared. It’s infested with a Troll pretending to be other people.

Can’t somebody with really bad eye sight invite this sob to go hunting?

Cheney is a Great American.

I like Cheney. I like Obama. When the crisis hits, we are attacked or the country falls apart. I would rather have Cheney responding than Obama. He has more experience, he actually answers the question he is asked, and his statements are logical, rather than rhetoric about change or hope… Obama could turn out to be a good president, but based on the first two weeks, he is in for a long four years.

I like to listen to Vice President Cheney,his statements are logical.He is a smart,wise and great American.
God bless.

Gee, when we indict Cheyney we can forget to read him his rights. What a moron. He’s probably sitting there thinking of a plan right now.

If you think that we are beyond being touched by a catastrophe you are sadly mistaken. To think that we will be a superior power for years to come correlates directly to the costs our government is willing to take whether indirectly or directly to protect the people. What is the greater evil blind trust that we will won’t be attacked or that we take all viable means necessary to protect the people? While the Republicans tactics may be questionable can one not be proud that at least one dictator can not perform genocide on his people again? Not everyting is so night and day. Lets move on and take the rhetoric for what it is and hope that Obama can direct our troubled country.
