It's coming, it's a beginning-but it's coming.

1. The GOP are trying hard to distract from this issue

Also, Cheney has suddenly vanished from the talk show scene these past 10 or so days. This leaves Liz to hold the fort with her defense of Daddy.

[asjr]

10. Well, he is not above sacrificing his own daughter. Even

if she is a loser.

[livetohike]

13. Agreed. I don't think she sees this either.

If not for her maiden name, where would she be today? :shrug:.

[JDPriestly]

15. And Liz's excuse that of couse she wasn't in the room with her dad

when he didn't do anything. Let's be very clear about that. Liz doesn't really know what didn't happen, but she denies everything.

[JerseygirlCT]

24. Yes... "Daddy never told me anything. But he absolutely didn't do

anything you say he did."

[sam sarrha]

2. they are just Lackeys... go for the DickTattor

[Rosa Luxemburg]

3. I'm sure George Tenet will be able to provide a few details!

4. Porter Goss, Jim Pavitt, Jose Rodriguez, Geoff O'Connell, J.Cofer Black...

General Sanchez, General Miller, General Boykin...
:bounce:

[Rosa Luxemburg]

7. Did they all get Medals of Freedom though?

[bobthedrummer]

11. "Freedom is on the march"=Arbeit macht frei...

[Rosa Luxemburg]

29. Jah!

I hope that they are NOT the shadow government!

[bobthedrummer]

37. It's more like Michael Ledeen's "Universal Fascism" for real, Rosa. n/t

[geckosfeet]

5. Yes, it's coming - glacially. 10 years from now it will still be coming.

[mbperrin]

6. When grilling, a nice dry rub helps a lot!

Come to think of it, won't work on shit.

What can we do with shit? Flush it. Can we do that now, please?

I'd like to get my old country back...

[felinetta]

8. Liz Cheney said her father was nervous. Where is he now?

crooksandliars.com — Liz Cheney, perhaps inadvertently, admitted that part of the reason we've seen Dick Cheney more in the last two months than we did in the eight years of the Bush administration is that he is very nervous that there will be investigations and prosecutions in his future.

Keep going. Don't let any of them get away with anything.

[rhett o rick]

9. I expect him to move to Dubai. I don't believe they have a extradition treaty. nm

[Politicalboi]

21. Well then somebody

Should put a price on his head. I'm sure there are a lot of "terrorist" willing to capture and try Cheney in Iraq's court of law. Ahh sweet revenge.

[bluesmail]

12. Dubai has no extradition treaty

Intentionally...?:tinfoilhat: (Ah, that feels much better).

[debunkthelies]

26. Neither does Paraguay where

G.W. bought 100+ thousand acres a few years ago, hmmm....:think:

[rhett o rick]

27. Agree, but Dubai is made for the wealthy. nm

[bluesmail]

32. delete

34. delete

14. K&R

:kick:

[grahamhgreen]

16. If Holder DOESN"T do it, I guarantee, the next AG will be investigating every member of the Obama

admin for all manner of manufactured controversies - can you say Monica Lewinski on steroids???

Thes people are just about at the point Saddam Hussein was when he had people pulled out of his congress and executed.

This is our last chance, Dem's!!!

[laststeamtrain]

17. K & R - n/t.

[seafan]

18. The DickTater and DickTater's Tot about to be fried? You betcha, say it ain't so, Joe, also too.

I'll take 'Cooking Oils' for $500, Alex.

19. I like 'em twice baked, with lots of ranch dressing...

20. Paging Paula Deen.

Thanks for this lovely article, bob. Made my day.


By the way, seriously, where is old Dick? Should we unleash the hounds?

[bobthedrummer]

22. He was building a new house in Langley, VA-but he could be anywhere

23. Will he have his own panic room and tunnel escape route?

[The abyss]

25. There are only two ways those members of the US government

will ever be held accountable for their crimes, and that includes past, present & future politicians, members of the military, members of the “security” apparatus, etc…

1) We, the people, do what needs to be done and start hanging them from lampposts and flagpoles. Shooting any and all that outrun the mobs and set fire to the rest. This involves pressing “reset” on at least a century of lies. For graphic details please see “French revolution” and all that entailed.

2) The nation collapses and is invaded and occupied by an allied force that has determined the US government is a general threat to any and all on this planet. For graphic details please see “Nuremberg Trials”.

Other than these options I don’t see much chance of anyone connected to these horrors ever seeing a public prosecutor.

Much to my dismay!

[Rosa Luxemburg]

30. this nation is so apathetic - it doesn't have it in them

so trusting and busy watching ballgames.

[Son Of Wendigo]

31. French Revolution vs Nuremberg Trials -- Tough Choice...

I prefer the Nuremberg trials version. That way the prosecutors and judges won't let the defendants bray "We was just following orders!" Every defense attorney, from Cheney's on down probably is already rehearsing his client on this crucial excuse.

Tho' I do wonder what Bush's excuse will be. "God told me to do it" perhaps.

[The abyss]

35. Welcome to DU.

This is an interesting board. Many smart critters here. Many pushing an agenda. Many just observing and commenting.

Enjoy!

[Senator]

39. 3) Nuremberg The Sequel: Starring Justice David Souter

NBII: Return Of The Constitution (Think of the box office ratings!)

It could even be that all it would take was his public volunteering.

Anybody got a line to him?

28. it's coverup time again

[TheWatcher]

33. Ooooooo, I bet they'll be subjected to stern warnings not to do it again too.

Wake me up when someone is in Jail.

:eyes:

[Fendius]

36. Nothings going to happen with it..

Does anyone on here really think anything will come of this? We all may hope.. But with an administration in office that uses the same phrase as the last ten admin's "Look Forward", We know that tricky Dicks words were actually true.. If your President (or VP) its not illegal... way to go America..

[Piewhacket]

38. I'd rather just hang 'em, but I guess grilling will be fine so long as...

it doesn't cause major organ failure.

But if it does, hey, I'm sure it was all done in good faith,
so carry on men. :patriot:
