The Truth About Richard Bruce Cheney

[Nonno]

"Last night I was on Rachel Maddow's show on MSNBC at the top of the hour. But before I came on, through the earpiece I listened to the five minutes that Rachel sketched as a lead-in. Most of it was videotape from the last few days of former Vice President Dick Cheney extolling the virtues of harsh interrogation, torture, and his leadership. I had heard some of it earlier of course but not all of it and not in such a tightly-packed package.

Let's just say that five minutes of the Sith Lord was stunningly inaccurate."

"First, more Americans were killed by terrorists on Cheney's watch than on any other leader's watch in US history. So his constant claim that no Americans were killed in the "seven and a half years" after 9/11 of his vice presidency takes on a new texture when one considers that fact. And it is a fact.

There was absolutely no policy priority attributed to al-Qa'ida by the Cheney-Bush administration in the months before 9/11. Counterterrorism czar Dick Clarke's position was downgraded, al-Qa'ida was put in the background so as to emphasize Iraq, and the policy priorities were lowering taxes, abrogating the ABM Treaty and building ballistic missile defenses.

Second, the fact no attack has occurred on U.S. soil since 9/11--much touted by Cheney--is due almost entirely to the nation's having deployed over 200,000 U.S. troops in Iraq and Afghanistan and not to "the Cheney method of interrogation."

Okay nonno... your inept abilities to do a little research before you... Oh heck what am I saying. You're a mindless script running from left-wing website to leftwing website and mindlessly copying and pasting whatever fits your purpose regardless of the facts.

Here is what Cheney REALLY said:

“I think the fact that we were able to protect the nation against further attacks from al-Qaida for seven and a half years is a remarkable achievement,” Cheney told interviewer Chris Wallace.

He was talking about on our soil.

Considering your president is the Emperor, I wouldn't be talking.

You mean Darth Cheney is working for Sith Obama? I thought his breathing was weird.

Hope everythings OK, I stopped reading at MSNBC.

But hey maybe Nonno can post what MSNBC is saying about the leftist moon-bat Pelosi on how her troubles are a right wing conspiracy. I didn't lie, the whole CIA and Bush lied...

>Here is what Cheney REALLY said:<

If Dick Cheney can take credit for anything it will be his order to direct NORAD to "stand down" so the planes could hit the twin towers on 9/11.

Please point me to the point where Cheney told NORAD to stand down. Kool-Aid a little too potent today?
