Dick Cheney

Didn't have time to serve his country when he could do something other than shoot off his big mouth. His chance to be the big shot and hero he holds himself out to be...But he was too busy getting multiple draft deferments. He loves to hear himself shoot off his mouth even when he repeats the same lies time and time again. The man seems to have no concept of reality.

He needs to go on a long hunting trip with George Jr.

Dick Cheney

Somebody please put Cheney in prison so he can shut UP!!!!!

cheney should stick tom hunting he was never a vice presendent

you should shut your mouth and let real people like the middle class that are poor people now because of you and bush. you rich people dont know what it is to be homeless or poor living paycheck to paycheck.

Talks Big but Can't Deliver

Cheney was there when the towers came down.

Never found Osama Bin Laden.

Never found weapons of mass destruction.

Cheney Should Have Been President

He's the strongest and wisest man we have. You know that when so many liberals are against him. Rinos too.

Keep Cheney in the Limelight

Cheney's great for reminding us what an utter failure, and how horrible the Bush Administration really was.

Never Forget!

Farrell, go home

Another leftist radical - WOW

Dick Cheney's Talk on Terror

I guess Dick Cheney has as much right to his opinion as does Jimmy Carter, Bubba Clinton and all the other left wingers around. If one needs to shut up and go home, ALL do.

OMY, Travis! Just a little bitter?

perspective

Let's see the memos that show the effectiveness of the information gleaned from waterboarded terrorists. Then let's have a detailed public analisys of various torture methods used by our enemies and make a comparison. Does anyone remember CIA station chief William Buckley or Col. Higgins from Lebanon? Remember what happened to those guys? Let's look at the methods used by Uday Hussein on his own countries soccer team when they lost a game. Let's have a serious debate about what torture really is. Then let's see what we need to do to protect ourselves from a bunch of religious fanatics that want us all dead.

American values end at our shores. It is a cold hard world out there that does not play by our rules. Who was it that said life is nasty, brutish, and short? We can try mightily to bend the world to our values and it will spit in our face every time. Fight to win, we have no other choice. To fail invites catastrophe.
