CHENEY: "If On 9/11 They'd Had A Nuke Instead Of An Airplane"
Tuesday, September 12, 2006

Cheney on Iraq and "what if"
by John in DC - 9/12/2006

From Hotline's blog:

Cheney on going to war with Iraq: "If on 9/11 they'd had a nuke instead of an airplane, you'd have been looking at a casualty toll that would rival all the deaths in all the wars fought by Americans in 230 years. That's the threat we have to deal with, and that drove our thinking in the aftermath of 9/11 and does today."

You know, I've often felt this way about my neighbor. If he had had a nuke instead of a really loud stereo, I'd be looking at millions of deaths instead of simply being woken up early this morning.

So, can I kill my neighbor?

16. And what if my grandmother had wheels?
She'd get better mileage, that's what.

Give it up Cheney. You're just digging yourself deeper.

2. My next-door neighbor owns a chainsaw.
He could kill me with it if he wanted to. I guess I'd better kill him first.

3. He would have been the reason they had one
Sell to any customer with the $$ and destroy the network used to monitor weapons material traffic by outing Ms Plame.

If if if if if lielielielielie
I'm so embarrassed and ashamed to say Cheney is the VP. All they do is lie and say 'if'.

Hey stupid Dickless Cheney, 'if' means you have no idea. Just like the 230 years part. Clueless and lost.

8. Cheney is now sending messages to the terrorists that signal
...what the next terror attack must consist of. All we need now Mr Vice President is the choice of locations in America where this should take place.

9. Expressed in that way
I don't believe his statement to be true.

"Deaths in all the wars fought by Americans in 230 years" would need to include the opponents many of whom were innocent victims. He's talking out of his A-hole as usual.

during Katrina, and you'll know how full of b.s. he is. I surely don't feel safe at all with these dangerous people at the helm.

24. Exactly Cheney's point. Strong homeland security stops illegal invasions!
We've got to stop those religious fanatics from contaminating our soil like they did in the 17th century.

14. And what if the moon
fell out of its orbit? Boy, we'd really be in trouble. :eyes:

Yes, in the world according to Cheney, you can turn your neighbor's house into a pile of kitty litter.

Talk about a Straw man.

Please, someone, get this guy on some meds. He's delusional and paranoid.

P.S. Dont tell him about the moon. He might want to do a pre-emptive strike.

17. Basically Cheney's right. And if they'd had exploding sewer gators...
...there wouldn't be a toilet left standing in America on 9/12! Think about that. They hate us for our, um, bowel movements.

had one is very very very low.

We have nothing to fear but fear itself. So Dicky, take the fake scare tactics and shove them into the barrel of your shotgun, shove it up your ass and give yourself a terror enema. You'll see the world much more clearly afterwards.

22. Topics ;ike this must be the subject of dinner conversation
when Cheney is fine dining with his buddies at the local Steak and Brew.
I imagine he equates his ego to the killing power of a nuke!

These people are drunk with power and a danger to every living thing on earth..

27. And if you and your puppet actually gave a crap about our safety
you would have paid attention to the 52 warnings and the Aug. 6th,'01 PDB and would have done whatever it took too prevent 9/11, or at least warn us that an attack was imminent, you major league a$$hole! See how that works?

32. If on 9/11 they'd had a nuke instead of an airplane,
then you'd be responsible for your inattention to the threats and warnings prior to 9/11. That wopuld have made this administration accountable for 300,000 deaths instead of 3,000. I wonder if we would have had a real 9/11 investigation then?

33. Oh shut up Dick!
Your fear pandering is getting sooooo old. It's not working anymore. I'd tell you to take your sorry fat ass and go duck hunting, but I'm afraid of who you might hurt. If you had a nuke instead of a shotgun, well, I shudder to think.
