War's Critics Abetting Terrorists, Cheney Says

[spindrifter]

Vice President Cheney offered a veiled attack yesterday on critics of the administration's Iraq policy, saying the domestic debate over the war is emboldening adversaries who believe they can undermine the resolve of the American people.

"They can't beat us in a stand-up fight -- they never have -- but they're absolutely convinced they can break our will, the American people don't have the stomach for the fight," Cheney said on NBC's "Meet the Press."

The vice president said U.S. allies in Afghanistan and Iraq "have doubts" the United States will finish the job there. "And those doubts are encouraged, obviously, when they see the kind of debate that we've had in the United States," he said. "Suggestions, for example, that we should withdraw U.S. forces from Iraq simply feed into that whole notion, validates the strategy of the terrorists."

Cheney unapologetically defended the 2003 invasion that toppled Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein, saying the administration would have done "exactly the same thing" even if it knew before the war what he acknowledged knowing now -- that Iraq did not have stockpiles of weapons of mass destruction. Yet he also gave a bit of ground, as he was pressed repeatedly by interviewer Tim Russert about statements that turned out to be wrong or damaging to his credibility.

1. Poor Dick, doesn't like competition over the control the Americans.

Fuck you Dick Cheney. You suck and are the Worst Vice-President in American history. Deal with the history books, loser.

[Kikosexy2]

81. Uhhh...

Did the Big Dick say something??? oh, same shit...different time...well never mind...like Ann Coulter...ignore the man behind the curtain...

[stevietheman]

2. He deserves something I cannot say as it's illegal to say it. n/t

n/t

[IndianaGreen]

7. He deserves the same fate of the Nazi war criminals we tried

at Nuremberg.

[stevietheman]

8. It would be nice if Bush, Cheney, Rums-failed, et al, could be tried...

and executed for their crimes against our republic.

My saying this is a sign for how much damage they have inflicted. Immense damage to our soldiers, Iraqis, our economy, our Constitution, Katrina victims, and on and on and on.

And I believe this even with reservations about the death penalty. The funny thing is... the only people who deserve the death penalty more than Bush/Cheney/Rums-failed/etc. is top al-Qaeda leadership and Saddam Hussein. May they all swing together on parallel ropes. They're all vicious criminals.

[IndianaGreen]

14. We can bundle all of them up and ship them to The Hague

Lucky for them, the ICC does not have a death penalty.

89. Absolutely

[KAZ]

9. Sad isn't it. Afraid, in our own country to speak...

...against that snarling POS, in a way that's appropriate. Let me put it this way: it would be a waste of good rope.

[stevietheman]

15. Another way of putting it...

If only someone out there was "crazy" enough to consider "handling" this problem.

[Raksha]

21. Horrible that we've come to the point of saying such things

or even thinking such things about our so-called "leadership."

You want to know who's REALLY demoralized America, Dick? I'll give you a hint: it's NOT the terrorists!

[stevietheman]

22. It's the way I honestly feel at this point...

our beloved republic is being actively destroyed by these vicious criminals. My (and our) patriotic reaction should not really be so unusual at this point.

[comtec]

38. WE CANNOT AFFORD THESE MONSTERS TO BE HARMED!

In the same we we DESPERATELY NEED Sadly Insane to be tried IN THE WORLD COURT in The Hague In the Netherlands!

IF These animals are killed w/o a trial, then we are totally FU@#ED!! They will use ANY violence against them as an excuse to destroy the republic as it stands, and make a real fascism/dictatorship! I hate them as much as you, really. But I thought this one through.. a lot, many years ago. We can't touch them and THEY KNOW IT!

You would have to take out around 20 people from his administration at once, including many gop heads (pun intended) and that's A) Not feasible, and B)Illegal.

Hell technically this conversation is potentially illegal, so lets stop it now B4 some Reich wing whack-off sees this and calls the NSA or some such stupidity.

It's a fun thought, but a dangerous reality. Best to keep on top of their BS and vote the fukrz out in November and IMPEACH IMPEACH IMPEACH!!! Then turn the over to the world court for crimes against humanity. THAT is how you deal with this kinda scum!

:edited for horrible spelling and a bad keyboard:

[D23MIURG23]

42. Im rooting for cardiac arrest myself.

Although having VP Hastert would be unlikely to improve the situation. I'd love to see this bunch tried for war crimes, but I somehow doubt that its in the cards.

[comtec]

47. Oh yes, I;'m all for divine intervention

and VP hastard would only hurt the GOP really.
With a top senator out of office they loose power.
This is one of the reasons we are BETTER OFF with Hillary STAYING in the senate!
That and the reality is a woman just can't win yet, not even Hillary.

Now.. Myself, I'm hoping for some really strong solar flairs...

[Swede Atlanta]

84. Hastert is a Congresscritter, not a Senator

Succession follows to the Vice President then to the Speaker of the House. So Hastert would be losing a Congresscritter and not a Senator.

[0007]

53. Never count it out!

[stevietheman]

70. You're right in that the last thing we want is martyrdom for these...

criminals. But if matters in this country go too far, then who knows what might need to happen. All options ultimately need to be on the table for saving our republic.

3. Funny thing, reality...

You can insist that 'perception is reality'* for just so long before objective reality snaps back and bites ya in the ass.

*Or however that meme went...

[The Wizard]

57. perception of reality

is what determines our behavior and response to situations.

[Monkeyman]

4. Dick you been in the bunker to long people don't hear you anymore

[Kagemusha]

5. He sounds just like Al Qaeda's VP.

CNN -Alengthy statement from al-Queda NO 2 Ayman -al-Zawahiri on the eve of the fifth anniversary of the Sept 11th attacks on New York and Washington calls on Muslims to step up their resistance to the U.S and attacks "Collaborators" he says have abandoned Islam

[daleo]

6. He is saying he would do everything the same

Even without the "false intelligence" about WMD. So he is admitting that he is a war criminal, that thinks nothing of waging aggressive war without provocation.

[teryang]

10. Iran is trying to help these these idiots stay in power, Why?

Iran throws out a two month bone to the administration. This helps them and helps Cheney Bushco by postponing the deadline for confrontation till after the election. This administration doesn't want to make a move before then because it will quickly bring on economic and political disaster, and trouble in November. Meantime they can play off the 911 propaganda campaign and pretrend they're making progress in Iraq and Afghanistan, and whatever other small time gimmicks they have up their sleeves.

Iran knows that the corrupt corporate elites in this country do not want to commit resources to larger armed forces and war at this time, the dollar would go into a tailspin. Right now as I write the treasury note kiters and gold short sellers (the powers that be) who back the administration are loving the currency action. The oil and gold markets appear to be in a tailspin. The corporate elites are raking it in, maybe for the last time, while they are being played for suckers. This is a calculated move. For China its great, their currency is going up. their forex is going up, and the commodities they need are becoming cheaper. For Russia its a mixed bag but probably worth it in the end. Revenge is a dish better served cold. Is that how the saying goes?

If McCain or Kerry get their way in Iraq, Iran will have a big problem (so will we). If the repukes survive intact for 2006 in the Congress, this weak corrupt administration will gradually bleed the country white with a directionless, half hearted and assinine military posture, while building an unassailable trough against middle class rage.

[D23MIURG23]

43. Same reason bin - Laden released a tape before the 2004 elections

Anyone interested in compromising America's power and good name is behind the Bush administration. There has been no greater blow to American standing in the world in the last 100 years at least.

[Art_from_Ark]

61. Iran has had cozy relations with Republicans in the past

Think Ronald Reagan and the Iran-contra gang. Maybe Iran's just waiting for another offer to sell them spare parts.

[Bozvotros]

11. Why didn't Russert ask Five Deferral Dick

About his lack of stomach for a fight when he had the chance? Because Russert has been their cabana boy for years.

[LynnTheDem]

12. That's TREASON, cheney the dick. By YOU, cheney the dick.

To call dissenters traitors is in and of itself TREASON.

Which you would know, cheney the dick, if you'd ever bothered to read what the Founding Fathers had to say about domestic enemies like yourself.

[stevietheman]

16. He and Bush are indeed Enemies of the Republic...

and they need to be dealt with. I'm afraid I'm at the "Enough is enough!" end-game mindset with these clowns. The vast damage to our beloved republic needs to be brought to an end.

[LynnTheDem]

13. Oh and did that apply to REPUBLICANS when they were CRITICS

of war under Clinton???

Or does that only apply to anyone not a rightwingnut. Rhetorical Q.

[struggle4progress]

17. Old "Skip Antiterrorism Task Force Meetings & Study Iraqi Oil Field Maps"

Cheney ain't got his head screwed on right: he spent most of 2001 ooglin oil field maps with his oil exec buddies and plannin for the Iraq war, but couldn't be bothered to have an antiterrorism task force meetin; and shortly after the WTC attack, Cheney was beatin the drum for war with Iraq.

[truthisfreedom]

18. they always say the same thing. nobody's listening, dick. nobody cares

about your two-bit rhetoric anymore. you want to silence free speech? you want to reduce freedoms and call that security? sorry, fella, you're on the wrong side. you're no American. you're WITH the terra-ists. you've helped their cause by giving them more reasons to hate us. you're part of the problem, not the solution, you crazed friend-shooting dinosaur.

[UrbScotty]

19. Dick, what's your problem with Freedom? (nt)

[L0oniX]

20. Go fuck your self Mr Cheney ...go fuck your self

He can go eat an ass carrot too.

[19jet54]

23. When the going gets tough, go hide...

How many dogs does he have in this fight? Oh, that's right; he has never been in a fight - Time to upgrade your threat level from "run" to "hide", again! (In a secure, undisclosed location)

[StraightDope]

24. In other words...

If we fuck up impossibly badly, "stay the course" just to hide the fact of blatant failure as much as possible.

Burn in hell for all time, you evil son of a bitch. If I were you, I'd be an atheist by now, but even that won't save you at this point. Karma truly is one badass motherfucker, Dick. You're slated to find that out firsthand in the hardest of ways. May those who have suffered as a result of your actions one day prononuce judgement upon you...

[Occulus]

25. Then throw us all in jail and have done with it

or shut the fuck up.

YOUR CHOICE, CHENEY.

(Let them try. LET them try.)

[eviltwin2525]

27. Doesn't he ever get tired of parroting this same tired BS?

I mean, seriously, even if ANY of it were true, you'd think he eventually get so sick of hearing himself saying it over and over and over and over and over and over and over....and just vomit on himself. Certainly makes me want to.

[krispos42]

28. ..."they're absolutely convinced they can break our will"...

Well, Mr. Cheney, you're absolutely convinced WE can break THEIR will. But here's a little problem, there, DICKie...

WE are on THEIR soil. WE have the option of leaving, THEY do not. WE are there by choice, THEY are there by birth. WE are occupying THEIR country, THEY are not occupying OURS. Because of this, THEIR will, THEIR motivation, comes from an inheirently stronger position than OURS does.

WE can perhaps overcome their motivation IF actions had been done to prove that we are the 'good guys', but WE let THEIR country desend into chaos and anarchy and feudalism and sectarianism. For every one of OUR guys killed, forty of THEIR innocents are killed, many of them women and children, in those conditions that WE created.

And because of it, THEIR will is stronger than OUR will, and our advanced training and technology doesn't count for much. It didn't matter in Vietnam, either, when we killed about 50 Vietnamese for every GI killed.

[The Wizard]

60. The lesson of Vietnam

Never underestimate people defending their homeland.
How many Americans would be tossing bombs if they had Iraqi tanks and troops on Main Street USA?

[The_Casual_Observer]

29. Osama broke his will to catch him years ago. He knows all about

having a broken will. Osama laughs at the big fat man and and the fools that he leads.

[lumpy]

30. Cheney sez the debate whether to

withdraw troops and criticism of the Iraq war is further emboldinging and validating the terrorist's stategy. The fool doesn't realize that they could not be more 'emboldened 'then they already are, thanks to the screwup the administration has created. This man is just as unhinged as is his furking commander-in-chief.

[killbotfactory]

31. He really puts the dick in Dick Cheney

fucking criminal

[aaronbees]

32. More and more when I hear what he has to say

I just want to throw my computer through the damn window and then go outside and take a sledgehammer to it. God, that man disgusts me.

[kentjay]

33. russert was at least relentless,

i think dick pretty much got bitch slapped.you saw the real lying bastard that he is.

[Eurobabe]

34. No DICK, your poor WAR PLAN is abetting terrorists

37. What an evil bastard

How DARE he try to stifle democratic debate!

He is trying to destroy democracy in his own country????

I want no 'special relationship' with a man like Cheney.

[rodeodance]

39. and Rummy says we are "appeasing" the terrorists. Abetting, appeasing

--big words for little minds.

[oblivious]

40. War's Promoters Abetting Terrorists, I Says

[liberal N proud]

41. It not only is my right to question the government, it is my DUTY!

Get that Cheney, Rummsfeld and bu$h?

As a citizen of the United States, it is my duty to question everything that the government does. What these monsters don't get is that we do question everything regardless of who is in office Democrat or Republican.

[ima_sinnic]

44. stuff a sock in it, you disgusting waste of oxygen

52. Cheney is protecting Osama.

It's in the contract.

[sofa king]

54. Yes, we are abetting the terrorists.

Many of us Americans have noted the shady and mysterious ties between terrorists and the Republican Party: John Ashcroft's refusal to allow investigators to fully examine terrorist financing; the 9/11 terrorists wandering onto Jack Abramoff's boat (and the subsequent non-investigation); the fact that Poppy Bush and members of the bin Laden family were meeting in Washington on the day of the attacks; the fact that federal counterterrorism organizations in WTC-7 and the Pentagon were destroyed on that day, and the investigation into WTC-7 has been stymied; the fact that only two-dozen people had access to the Ft. Detrick anthrax stores, yet that investigation has stalled, too.

Every time the Republican Party winds up in political hot water, the terrorists who are at large thanks to those stalled investigations and bungled apprehensions come storming right back: Osama releases a tape, vaporous "warnings" are given without explanation, the New Number Two is captured somewhere if they're not outright lying about it. The revelations are displayed and presented almost like threats, threats directed squarely at the American people.

We, the American people, have been abetting these people, people who would politically profit from terrorism either by coincidence or by design. Either way, the one thing the Bush Administration has taught us is that any association with terrorists at all is just cause to brand the associated as terrorists themselves.

So yes, we are abetting the terrorists--and you, Dick, are the head terrorist in charge.

56. Doesn't that pathetic, decrepit boozer

ever get sick of hearing his own boooooooooooooooooring commentary? Or does that monotone speech he always gives just buzz on and on in his fat head 24/7?

Okay, VP with the approval rating lower than Satan, here's the deal:

All you are saying is , "critics of this administration are hampering my ability to make more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more......."

We get it. So shut the fuck up. You are an evil piece of greedy, vile blubber. Nobody cares what you have to say.

[Zambero]

58. War proponents such as Cheney have unwittingly created a poster child...

...for terrorists the world over. What better propaganda tool than to exploit this administrations lies and phony justifications around a "pre-emptive" war that turns out to have been completely unnecessary? Saddam Hussein's regime had no links to terrorist groups prior to the U.S. invasion, but ironically enough our continued occupation and the resultant resentment on the part of the Arab world has turned out to be a rallying point and recruitment tool that far exceeded what Al-Quaida or any other terrorist group could have accomplished on their own. Thanks Mr. Cheney -- your administration's misguided actions have made the world a far more dangerous place, at a cost of several thousand American and Iraqi lives, losing ground to the Taliban in Afghanistan, and several hundred billion dollars squandered in Iraq that could have been better spent on port security and other homeland defenses.

[wurzel]

59. That was one of Russert's best

And I am no fan of Russert.

[wisteria]

62. Honestly, why do we care what the terrorists think? Why are we

conducting this war and staying because of what they might think. Aren't we suppose to be the greater and smarter power here?
Our VP is full of it. They aren't moving anywhere because of the oil. We are being mislead again.

[emald]

63. I saw this interview

and it made me wonder why this asshole is not in prison for sedition and lying. What are we as a county when we have "leaders" like this ugly man, a coward, a deferment expert, an admited liar ? No wonder the world hates us, they dont hate our "freedoms", they hate our leaders and our policies those leaders make.
If this country is to survive we must, MUST, dump darth and monkey man and the whole lot of war idiots.
Watching this person on Timmy's show made me sick. His head down darting eyes sneering lying was almost too much crap at one sitting.

69. Note to Dick re:

'The war is emboldening adversaries who believe they can undermine the resolve of the American people.

That is technically correct. But what you forgot to mention is that you are an adversary of the American people.

[Stockholm]

71. they - us - our will - American people - we

"Vice President Cheney's influence over our nation's foreign policy and defense has made America less safe," said Senate Minority Leader Harry M. Reid (Nev.). "The vice president was a chief architect of the effort to manipulate intelligence to build a case for invading Iraq; he ignored the threat of insurgencies, he took our eye off the ball in Afghanistan, and today he made clear that he would do nothing different."

[LoZoccolo]

73. THE NUMBER ONE ENEMY TO DEMOCRACY IN IRAQ, IS "DEBATE"!

The vice president said U.S. allies in Afghanistan and Iraq "have doubts" the United States will finish the job there. "And those doubts are encouraged, obviously, when they see the kind of debate that we've had in the United States," he said.

DANGIT WILL YOU PEOPLE STOP THIS DEBATING!

78. Interesting take on Cheney yesterday from, gulp, McLaughlin

He had the author of Fiasco on yesterday on PBS, and he said something to the effect of WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO CHENEY? Cheney was the guy who told Bush Sr. not to even THINK about going to Baghdad and taking out Saddam. He was the ultimate realist, the kind of guy who said, yeah, they're assholes, but we can do business with them. Then, out of nowhere, he turned into the biggest nation-building, foreign-entanglement dealer in the whole administration.

The only answer the two of them could come up with is that his heart problems scrambled his brains.

Here's a discussion of the show and book.
