Politico: Former Vice President Fears Obama Administration Is Off Course On National Security

Oh yeah, there is that one other little thing regarding Clinton and Bush, when Clinton left he informed Bush that the largest threat to this country was from Al Queda, it was repeated by Richard Clarke and ignored by Bush. I gueess he and Cheney were busy dividing up the Iraqi oil fields.

I would like to hear from somebody credible just what attacks were prevented by Cheney. And how do you prove an absence of something anyway? He and Bush blather on about how they stopped attacks but the biggest one happened on their watch! Give us real facts or shut up!

The amazing thing is that the far right wing-nuts insist that a. Bush and Darth keep us safe (only if you don''t count the largest attack ever on our country) and that all the torture, rendition, Gitmo, spying on you and me, shredding the Constitution were all necessary to keep us all from being killed. "Thank Gawd for Mr. Bush and Mr. Cheney for keepin us safe" they all chant.

Here''s a history lesson, the first World Trade Center attack occured 6-weeks into Clinton''s first term. I don''t recall our country being attacked again under his watch - Thank Gawd for Mr. Clinton and Mr. Gore for keepin us save, without turning the world against us, without shredding the Constitution, without torturing people, without invading the wrong country and without destroying the American way of life!

Sun - It''''s hard not to be too judgemental when you fundamentally disagree with the policy, however, I do agree there needs to be a balance. For starters: shut up Cheney. He is not VP of the US now, therefore, I don''''t want to hear him and I don''''t think the International community needs to hear him. He had his time. I was so looking forwad to NOT having to hear him when the new adminsitration came into office. I don''''t believe we need him meddling in the waters he has already muddied. Yikes.

and secondly, what we need to do is re-focus (or focus as we did not before) on the real threats that present us or have presented us, in the areas of national security, which were so well concealed while the Cheney and Bush Adm distracted our nation on the "WOMD" in Iraq.

"Cheney Warns Of New Attacks"


Looks like Ol'' Cheney plans to go duck hunting again. Fellow hunters, BEWARE!!!

Cheney got a Kindle? I didn''t know he read anything besides contracts.

Cheney needs to be arrested for trying to incite fear and rioting amongst many other things. If a person screams "FIRE" in a movie theatre they would be hled accountable. When are the war crimes trials going to start?

[reimer211]

Cheney is praying to God there is an attack on America, just the justification he needs for his evil regime of illegal incarceration, torture, illegal wiretapping, unjustified war, failure in Afghanistan which should have been THE priority, and the like. Bush/Cheney''s policies have inflamed the Muslim world and inspired thousands of NEW terrorists. And let''s not forget just WHO''s watch 911 occurred on...

The poblem with all your posts is this. You have no idea what intelligence is relayed to the president on a daily basis. Even Obama in his interview last week ststed that they''re are definite threats out here. But you don''t want to see it or believe it. What will it actually take? another attack?
