Ghosts Rattling Chains
Hey, wanna see a lefty blow his top?
[Former Vice President] Cheney said the harsh interrogations of suspects and the use of warrantless electronic surveillance were “absolutely essential” to get information to prevent more attacks like the 2001 suicide hijackings that targeted New York and Washington.
“President Obama campaigned against it all across the country, and now he is making some choices that, in my mind, will, in fact, raise the risk to the American people of another attack,” he said.
…
“When you go back to the law enforcement mode, which I sense is what they’re doing, closing Guantanamo and so forth … they are very much giving up that center of attention and focus that’s required, that concept of military threat that is essential if you’re going to successfully defend the nation against further attacks,” he said.
…
“I don’t hear much talk about that, but the fact is, the violence level is down 90 percent,” Cheney said. “The number of casualties [among] Iraqis and Americans is significantly diminished. There’s been elections, a constitution. They’re about to have another presidential election here in the near future. We have succeeded in creating in the heart of the Middle East a democratically governed Iraq, and that is a big deal, and it is, in fact, what we set out to do.”
Stand back! He’s going to blow! Blow this, you liberal weenie.
I’m glad Cheney’s speaking out, and I’m glad that, unlike President Bush, he doesn’t give a damn what people think. You don’t like the truth, he implies? That’s your problem.
And on another subject sure to stroke out the left (maybe he really is a cold-blooded assassin):
“Rush is a good friend…I think he does great work and has for years. … I think Rush is a good man and serves a very important purpose.”
