WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Al Qaeda is still "very active" recruiting and seeking to attack the United States, although it has been hurt since the Sept. 11 attacks in 2001, Vice President Dick Cheney said on Monday.

"The enemy that appeared on 9/11 is wounded and off-balance, and on the run -- yet still very active, still seeking recruits, and still trying to find ways to hit us," said Cheney, who reviews intelligence on threats daily.

"As months and years pass, they are hoping that our country will grow complacent, and get lazy, and forget our responsibilities," he said in a speech to the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center in Glynco, Georgia, according to a text released in Washington.

"And it's our job, ladies and gentlemen, to make sure the United States of America never lets down its guard."

1. F*ing Ass!

He said he "knew" that Saddam Hussein had WMD. He said he "knew" that Irag was supporting Al Qaeda and the 9/11 attacks. He has said many things, but never answered any questions, like what really happened at his "undisclosed location" during the development of the Energy Bill.

Not worth s**t.

24. Don't forget

Rummy went on "Meet the Press" and said they KNEW exactly where the weapons were. In Baghdad. Then they claimed late last year or early this year that they were moved to Syria. Now it's know there wasn't anything there. Fuckers.

2. thanks to you and your Iraq distraction, uncle dick

3. Terra! Terra! Terra!

The Chimperor's poll numbers are tanking, so fire up the Terra Lerts; don't let the masses forget that the Terr'ists Hate Our Freedom.

10. Orange and Read will be this years

... uhh, orange and red, just like last year and the year before that.

[keopeli]

4. Dear Dick,

Fu$# You, you slimy piece of s#*%! It's you're fault!

[mitchum]

17. What he said!

I LOATH the Cheney the murderous parasite

[Kerrytravelers]

5. Takes a terrorist to know a terrorist.

[blogbear]

9. amen!

[Tempest]

6. I wonder if Bush's sagging approval rating has anything to do with this?

Cheney always seems to come out of his undisclosed location whenever Bush is in trouble.

[renaissanceguy]

21. That's right...gotta keep the masses afraid...

except I think by now the smart half of the population is numb to it. The rest of the people just don't pay attention, or just care about gays getting married.

[FreedomAngel82]

25. So true

Or when he's messed something up and lead him down to trouble. I wonder what they're up to and why they mentioned Al-Quida? :tinfoilhat:

[Tempest]

28. Bush has also screwed up the SS message

And along with the current wave of attacks in Iraq, there's a lot of reasons for Cheney to come out of his hidey-hole.

[RC]

7. Of course al Qaeda is still active

They get their orders from the White House.

[Goldeneye]

8. boooga booooga!

ahhh! This guy ^ looks kind of like Cheney, don't you think?

[uppityperson]

11. booo. mommy I'm scared.

Hold me Dick, make me feel safe, never go away pleeeeze wah

[tabasco]

12. What a tough guy.

When it was his time to put his ass on the line in a war he supported, he had "other priorities". You can bet your ass that Cheney's welfare is Cheney's only priority. He and his robber baron friends have squandered our resources on an unnecessary war, leaving us more vulnerable to terrorist attack than ever. Too bad we don't all have a hidey-hole to run to like Coward Cheney.

[Cha]

13. dick=evil asshole

Go fuck yourself

[gratuitous]

14. Well, you've only had three and half years

To catch a 6'4" guy in a turban on dialysis. No wonder fightin' terraism is such hard work. And your job is to make sure the U.S. never lets down its guard? Then why did you empty the Treasury into your own pockets and cut funding for our schools, Homeland Security, airport security, and everything else except for Halliburton's contracts (which they aren't meeting and are overcharging on)?

[FreedomAngel82]

26. I guess

BinLaden is just so good at hiding. :eyes:

[Raster]

15. cheney saying al-qaeda is "still very active" means "still on the payroll"

The neo-con bastards are at a rock and a very hard place. And I believe the American public are just about to their bullshit threshhold.

The neocon scourge and their familiars very much need that second "Pearl Harbor-like" incident to ramp up the fear quotient so they can continue their rape and pillage of the citizenry as camouflaged as possible. In addition, the military/industrial complex needs more raw materials (our kids) and more of the nation's wealth.

[brettdale]

16. A question to Mr Cheney

Where the FU*K is Bin Laden?, the families of the 9/11 victims want to know and they dont give a sh*t about Saddam!

[harpo]

18. fear the invisible man...but where the fuck is UBL?

[Lori Price CLG]

19. He should know - it's his crew. n/t

[GoddessOfGuinness]

20. Not to worry, DICK...

We're more on guard than ever before.

[berni_mccoy]

22. More beating of the war drums

Trying to scare people into justifying a war with Iran.

[FreedomAngel82]

23. And what has he done about them?

Fucking nothing! Asshole. Before Iraq they were in forty nation's and now they're in over sixty thanks TO YOU fucking Cheney! Go to hell bastard and take W with you.

[kysrsoze]

27. Al Qaeda is putting fingers our food supply!

See the latest headline!

[teryang]

29. "Bring me the head on bin Laden on dry ice."

Send us 100 pounds of starbucks coffee.

Did anyone here this bullshit on NPR this morning? Here's another:

It's hard to believe that we didn't catch bin Laden.

And another:

It's the first time in my career as a CIA officer, that I received a direct order to have someone killed.

Right, it's as hard to believe as the get bin Laden bullshit story that the CIA put out this morning.

[daleo]

30. Bush polls are down - re-ignite terror warnings.

Maybe even a MIHOP or LIHOP in the future. These guys remind me of a mafia protection racket.

[Frederik]

31. Well, Dick

"And it's our job, ladies and gentlemen, to make sure the United States of America never lets down its guard."

I thought your job was to make sure the United States let down its guard every now and again when it may be deemed convenient, like, say, in 2001...

[The_Casual_Observer]

32. And how would he know? Information from spies? What a laff!

Cheney spouts off this complete horseshit and the press reports it like it was real or something, instead of the obtuse black humor that it most certainly is. When was that last time ANYTHING cheney said that turned out to contain even the smallest grain of truth?

[timtom]

33. Whew! It's about time!

I have been waiting for a man of dignity, courage, and honor to step forth with the voice of truth and reason.
And here he is!

Dick #$%^@!ing Cheney!

Bwaaahaaaahaaaahaaaa...

[Voltaire99]

34. Ha! We have far less to fear from Al Qaeda...

...than we do from our own Christian fascists.

See the harrowing article in the current issue of Harper's, "Feeling The Hate With The National Religious Broadcasters."

These cultural-political totalitarians are the real danger. Not a scrubby tiny cult of terrorists who got lucky thanks to the greed of the US airline industry.

[Bluebear]

35. And he knows this how?

And if they are so busy recruiting, why is nothing being done about it?

[HughBeaumont]

36. Don't worry.

The rest of Dumberica is finally waking up to what we knew all along: That there's actually more evidence of El Presidente Cheney having a hand in 9/11 than Saddam did. That this whole 9/11 thing smells like a dying empire-created "Pearl Harbor". That the actual "War on Terror" has yet to, and never will, start. And that Cheney and the rest of this stench-ridden administration drags the invisible boogeyman known as Albert Qaeda and Osama Bin Goldstein whenever they deem it fit.

For instance, when a certain Bunnypanties' poll numbers and support plunge like mad.

[llmart]

37. These people just confuse me to no end.......

I thought they just said that the "chatter" and inside info show that terror attacks are waaaaaaaay down.

Their line of bullshit changes every day.

[PennyLane]

38. Fear Factor.......DC Style.

Keep 'em skeered! :nuke:

[Harry S Truman]

39. I need a b&w photo of this assclown

with TERRORIST on it. I'll make a nunch and post them everywhere.
Oh, how this man needs to be put down.

[RetroLounge]

40. Cheney and friends are still very active

41. This asshole doesn't have any new lines.

Go back to the bunker you steaming pile of shit.

Now, his soul is completely owned by satan. Notice the steaming pile hasn't had any heart attacks lately. When satan recalls him, then it will happen.

[leesa]

42. Ah, yes...the Goldstein speech. The myth of Al qaeda will get you all!

Booga Booga.

Wonder what Al-Qaeda Dick is planning next? Will he and Bush blow up the Sears tower or is that passe since they did the WTC?

[Javaman]

43. Got to give props to old dicky boy there for pointing out the obvious...

I guess he read that same report to that said, "terrorist attacks have increased 3 fold last year!"

What a titanic asshole.

[chlamor]

44. You're a War Criminal Dick-He also said

“I think has been fairly significant success in terms of putting Iraq back together again…and certainly wouldn't lead me to suggest or think that the strategy is flawed or needs to be changed.” – Vice President Cheney, < 9/14/03 >

“We will, in fact, be greeted as liberators. . . . I think it will go relatively quickly... (in) weeks rather than months.” – Vice President Cheney <3/16/03>

[AzDar]

45. Hmmmm, from what I could decipher from his garbled syntax, I could've

SWORN Lil'Boots stated that Al-Qaida had been 'crippled as an organization', or some other such nonsense, during his "press conference" last week.
Can't they get ANYTHING right?

[Lerkfish]

46. That's odd, Dick, you said electing you would keep us safe...

guess you lied about that, eh?

[xxqqqzme]

47. the boogy man is still

under the bed...the monster in the closet; and unca dick's job is too never, ever let us forget it. What a prick! get back under your rock.

[lavenderdiva]

48. Apparently either Cheney or Robertson isn't in 'the loop'...

as far as communications go, as Cheney is saying "Al Qaeda is still 'very active'", and Robertson is saying "I think we have controlled Al Qaeda" the 700 Club host said, but warned of "erosion at home" and said judges were creating a "tyranny of oligarchy." (link: http://www.nydailynews.com/front/story/305721p-261517c.html)

Maybe Cheney has been in that bunker and hasn't been informed that its the judges NOT Al Qaeda that we should be worried about? :sarcasm:

[DemBeans]

49. oh Big Daddy Cheney, pleeease protect me

One would assume that people reading that Al Qaeda is still "very active" might view such a statement as an admission of failure from the junta. After all, wouldn't the billions spent on their vaunted war on terror perhaps make Al Qaeda just a little less active? Why are they "very active" after all of their posturing and looting?

Perhaps they'd be less "active" if we'd secured Afghanistan - a subject the press never talks about - rather than going yippy-skippy into the Empire of Iraq.
