Trying To Pretend We Are Not At War

30 Dec

From our former beloved Pres. Dick Cheney, the one who got us into two wars and lost both of them comes another silly speech.

“As I’ve watched the events of the last few days it is clear once again that President Obama is trying to pretend we are not at war. He seems to think if he has a low-key response to an attempt to blow up an airliner and kill hundreds of people, we won’t be at war. He seems to think if he gives terrorists the rights of Americans, lets them lawyer up and reads them their Miranda rights, we won’t be at war. He seems to think if we bring the mastermind of Sept. 11 to New York, give him a lawyer and trial in civilian court, we won’t be at war.”

Despite the fact that he was not equal to the task as he waited most of his life for, he really has no right to slam Pres. Obama. Especially given the fact that Obama did not immediately attack someone as Cheney and McCain would’ve done.

Pres. Obama has increased the number of troops in Afghanistan and proven that he knows we are at war. President Cheney is just upset over the fact that he totally lost the Afghanistan war. By walking away from it he thinks he is now an expert on who we are at war with.Pres. Obama has vowed to get to the bottom of whoever planned this and get them. That is pretty much an indication in my mind that Obama knows we are at war.

I wish there was a way to get into Pres. Cheney’s face and let him know what fool he is. He wholeheartedly supported Rumsfeld as he murdered thousands of our own troops and now he seems to want to be an expert on warfare. He might want to consider he is pretty lucky that he is not in prison, the same way that his English counterpart Tony Blair might soon be.

Dick Cheney constantly shows us how weak and ineffective he really was. The only thing he was effective at was creating more terrorists and more terrorism.how long before he is screaming about how we should be attacking Yemen as John McCain has already done.

But Dick Cheney method was to attack Al Qaeda where they were and then follow them around and knee-jerk actions as they move from place to place when he could have stopped them in their spot to begin with. All he had to do was execute the war he started in Afghanistan properly and completely. The man is a failure.

 
 

The Man That Murdered Thousands

15 Jun

The moron who would be king cant leave well enough alone.

From MSNBC

WASHINGTON – CIA Director Leon Panetta says former Vice President Dick Cheney’s criticism of the Obama administration’s approach to terrorism almost suggests “he’s wishing that this country would be attacked again, in order to make his point.”

Panetta told The New Yorker for an article in its June 22 issue that Cheney “smells some blood in the water” on the issue of national security.

Cheney has said in several interviews that he thinks Obama is making the U.S. less safe. He has been critical of Obama for ordering the closure of the detention facility at the U.S. Navy base in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, halting enhanced interrogations of suspected terrorists and reversing other Bush administration initiatives he says helped to prevent attacks on the United States.

Last month the former vice president offered a withering critique of Obama’s policies and a defense of the Bush administration on the same day that Obama made a major speech about national security.

Panetta said of Cheney’s remarks: “It’s almost, a little bit, gallows politics. When you read behind it, it’s almost as if he’s wishing that this country would be attacked again, in order to make his point. I think that’s dangerous politics.”

Asked if he agreed with Panetta, Vice President Joe Biden told NBC’s “Meet the Press” that he wouldn’t question the motive behind Cheney’s criticism.

“I think Dick Cheney’s judgment about how to secure America is faulty,” Biden said. “I think our judgment is correct.”

 
 

Cheney At A Glance

12 May

I am getting a huge laugh over the Cheney backing of Rush Limpbat.

Cheney has the credibility of roadkill.  This is the man behind the presidency who is 50% of the reason that people did not vote Republican in the last election.  This is the man known as Dr. Strangelove in a wheelchair who obviously wears a glove to keep it clean when he had his hand up George Bush’s ass.

Darth Cheney is now accusing Colin Powell of not being a Republican.  The Man who would be kingWhen he was acting president he did everything he could to prove to the American public that under no circumstances will see a conservative or quite frankly a Republican.  This is what happens when a person like Colin Powell, who commands respect due to his history and his accomplishments, speaks his mind without taking the party line.

It appears if you’re in the Republican Party and you don’t take the party line that neither Mr. Cheney or Rush Limbaugh will attack you.  Neither person is a fair assessment of a Republican or a conservative.

Cuba

17 Apr

I want to go on record stating my approval for normalizing relations with Cuba. The advantages are clear in my mind.

First, relations will not be normalized without deep concessions from Cuba. Castro number 2 has allready stated he will discuss anything the US throws on the table. Improvements in the lives of the Cuban people could be forthcoming from these discuassion and the vitality of Cuba itself as an American ally could be greatly enhanced.

What I do not understand is those from the Rights need to bash this initiative. Whats up with that? Are they afraid we will acheive this without having to murder thousands of people and put a few thousand in prison to torture?

Or is it just that they dont want the Obama administration to be successful at something their president had no intention of doing?

Offering a new relationship to Cuba will go a long ways towards refreshing our relations with South America, a territory we are losing to China and relations that the Bush administration for all practical purposes ignored and partially destroyed.  This may alos support the people of Southern America to help us combat terrorists from entering the US and the countrys involved.

Encouraging Cuba to treat its people differently will help end the suffering of those who try to get here and endure dangerous boat rides only to be sent back or killed enroute.  Cuban music is incredible and should be free for the world.

There are no viable reasons why we cannot open our shores to LEGAL Cubans and improve the lives of the Cuban people at a very small cost to us.
