Sen. Sherrod Brown Torches Dick Cheney On "Dithering" Claim

[frankisneat]

Sen. Sherrod Brown... hubba hubba!!

[kaysandesses]

Hey Hatch, where was your criticism when Cheney ignored the generals' calls for more troops for Afghanistan in 2003?

[Dagney77]

Left and Right must come together to end this dictatorship of corruption and bribery in Washington.

What's it gonna take? Suggestions?

[shatnerzbassoonoid]

Republican or Democrat, white or black, another US president ignores the military advice from the Generals they themselves put in place.

Bush- "We must not rest until we catch these terrorist killers, now watch this drive"

Obama- "I`ll make A/Stan a top priority unlike the previous administration, after I`ve fucked off to China and Japan that is"

The bullshit about Karzai is more lies, the extra troops were to help relieve the load on US and NATO troops, not prop-up Karzai. More shit-lies.

[HopeForPeaceNow]

Amazing that these bastards can...

...ruin world financial markets, be involved in 9/11, invade the wrong country just toi make profit for their buddies, desimate the constitution, be wanted for war crimes in 24 countries, all in the name of (G)od...

..... and 43% of Americans still support them. Cheney/Palin 2012... Palin/Hannity? Rove/Gingrich 2012? Take your pick, if we don't get the facts out THAT will be our END!!!

[sage0857]

look on here and there is a vid of cheney saying there was no evidence bin laden had anything to do with sept 11.

RepubliCUNTs are the new taliban

[loonmaniac]

Cheney needs to be tried for war crimes.

[ed2kou1]

For what. YOU NEED TO SHOOT YOURSELF! JACKASS

[milkgodnl]

.. hatch is being disingenuous if it was not for him and his party and his president and his president pro-tem were dithering themselves in Afganistan from 2001-2008.

[cbsctomh]

Cut on Chaney for telling the truth. You are making a mistake by carrying BO's water. He hires good generals and does not take their advice. Instead he sends John Kerry to do his talking. If your son was there like mine is, you'de be pissed as I and all other military parents on our leaders dithering! It's all politics and you know damn well, as do most Americans.

[sunnymarky]

cheney , a madman and he certainly dint dither when he want to bomb iraq sooner than later before any WMDs were found, No dithering there Cheney, WAR CRIMINAL

[ed2kou1]

Hey idiot. Clinto, Gore, Kerry. They all thought Iraq had WMDS. I'm sure being the president you can't monday morning quarterback. British inteligence said they were selling yellow cake to terrorists. After 9-11 our foreign policy changed. Instead of sitting around waiting to get hit. We became proactive. Then idiots like you sit back and bitch about Wand Cheney. BHO plays basketball as our troops die. Hey Obama where's Osama.

[loonmaniac]

Hey dumb fuck: want to buy a bridge?

[ed2kou1]

It figures resort to the name calling. When you can't argue facts name call. YOUR A SORRY ASS LOSER!

[loonmaniac]

You're a buttfucking faggot.

[ed2kou1]

Your intelligence amazes me! Dumb FUCKER!

[noiwudnttrip]

Really doesn't matter what their opinion is of Cheney. Word through the grapevine is this sealed it. Obama will be sending the troops, maybe a few less than requested, but they're going. In other words, once again Cheney speaks out, once again Obama adjusts his policy accordingly. Should hear the announcement before mid November.

Lesson: Obama needs to make decisions quickly or Cheney will ride his ass for the rest of his presidency.

[roblinkd]

Cheney dithered for 8 yrs....phucking old fool needs to go away for good...see ya you Dick.

[adamaxiom]

ha! Cheney attacking iraq was no mistake. they concocted the whole thing. he would be tried for treason., if we still had the rule of law.

[busterpratt]

Why does anyone care about the advice of a complete and total failure. That is Dick Cheney.

His biggest claim to fame is that he didn't let terrorists attack us again. Again not at all but again.

The Bush administration was a failure in every single category. Now the conservatives complain about Obama not being able to fix all the problems they created, in a couple of months. I had no idea that felt so highly of Obama, to think they believed he could fix it all in a couple of months.

[ed2kou1]

God bless W thanks for keeping us safe. BHO plays basketball while our troops DIE!

[jmguitard]

and bush played golf. don't be such a partisan bitch.

[ed2kou1]

W quit playing golf in 02. BHO still playing basketball as our troops die!

[bundlesjr]

George W sent them over there, I think he's responsible for the mess you bafoon. Stop watching Fox Lies.

[cbsctomh]

obama has the power to bring them back so why doesn't he? Because he's dithering!!!

[ed2kou1]

W was winning the war. Idiot. Everyone like losers like yourself. Your ilk was crying saying we were losing in Iraq. We did the surge and turned it around. Now a General that BHO appointed is calling for more troops. He's calling for a surge. BHO PLAYS POLITICS. BHO plays basketball, as our troops die.

[bdazzzle]

george bush and dick cheney did more damage to us than the terrorists could have dream..who cares what cheney says now

[dEEdUURdUUR]

lol I like how Cheney suddenly gives a shit about american lives..

[ed2kou1]

Of course he did. He save douche bags like your from another 9-11. Your Al Quead sympathizer punk ass. Can't even be grateful.

[dEEdUURdUUR]

Uh, You do know the people responsible for 911 were Taliban, not Al Quada.

[ed2kou1]

You dumbass. Bin Laden was responsible for 9-11. He is Al Queda.

[dEEdUURdUUR]

You dumbass, Bin Laden was in afghanistan, not Iraq

[ed2kou1]

Hey stupid! Tell me where I ever said Bin Laden was in Iraq.

[dEEdUURdUUR]

Taliban = Afghanistan

Al Quada = Iraq

[ed2kou1]

It's all Al Queda.

[dEEdUURdUUR]

Yes, from where you get your news, it is all Al Queda.

[Sonyoooo3]

Dick Cheney its not bush that are sitting on the white house are you losing your head Didididididididididididitherin­g.

[ragemx999]

watch?v=fk9Bgl7MhLA&

[deadlyhotdog]

great article in "the nation" that explains why we should scale down in Afghanistan. republicans want to re-fight Vietnam. there is no way to win a war against an idea with guns and troops.

[09090985]

At least Cheney can tell the truth which the Chicago thugs can't stand

[rdrakken]

Afghanistan is a war we will lose.

Period.

No nation has EVER been able to take control of it fully. The Taliban is not some group of extremists, they are a part of the Afgani CULTURE. They are NOT going away.

Anyone that thinks that is not true is either idiot that knows nothing about the country or a war profiteer.

The war there needs a different approach, we have an oportunity to diplomatically create a split in the Taliban. Its the safer way to make an Afghan that doesnt need us.

[xliver4]

What we need to do is stabilize the country enough so that there own people can handle the Taliban, and i think that is what they are trying to do over there.

[rdrakken]

As I said, anyone that thinks that is not true is either an idiot that knows nothing about the country or a war profiteer.

Do you have ANY clue at all what it would take to make it so the people of Afghanistan can handle the Taliban on their own?!?

The Taliban are NOT some group of outsiders, they are as much a part of their nation as Evangelicals are in America...you CANNOT get rid of them.

But you can split them and that can only be done diplomatically.

[jrubin22]

Terrorists and Republicans are both eagerly anticipating a spectacular attack that kills many Americans.

Call me old fashioned, but that doesn't seem like the 'Love America', it seems like they want to take by force what they can't have by accomplishment due process.

[qbblitza]

even though im a democrat, i do believe that obama needs to send in the 40,000 or so that they need to retake afganistan.

[Umair316]

OK, please enlist in the army if you are between the age of 18-40. If you are older, please enlist your kid or a loved one.

[loonmaniac]

Cheney got 5 draft deferments.

[1911arthur]

Cheney was a draft dodger who tried to run to Canada? Who listens to this yellow belly?

Most Republicans were Yellow Bellies during the NAM.

[gotrottin]

The US war machine marches on. The number of soldiers is always going to optimize dragging this out for the benefit of military contractors. On a side note: The guy in the middle sounds like he's got a hot dog stuck in his throat.

[LoutheWalrus]

He has a badass voice

[cclovesyoutoob]

OWNED!

[wwurdaddy]

"Torches?" I was waiting to see it happen, but it didn't.

[DigitalAquarius]

dude dick cheney is DARTH VADER

listen to him breathe

[skitplace]

Wonderful to see some ppl on the news that aint talking crap

[LooseLatitude]

I believe now that behind closed doors Republican and Democrat politicians are on the same page...

The strategy for fighting two wars at the same time is to hold one while focusing on the other. Hold Afghanistan while focusing on Iraq. Than when it's under control focus on the other war. When Iraq is under control focus on Afghanistan.

Both Republicans and Democrats know this.

Question is why is the Democrats playing this against the Republicans and more importantly why are they silent?

[cheke64]

cheney should send his kids to afghanistan.

[JOELVAT]

True, they plus other 40,000 troops

[bubspenis]

I wanna make Sarah Palin cum!!!!!!!!!!

[Desarollo]

@ 1:26 what the fuck is Senator Hatch talking about?!? we didn't rid the Helmand Province of the Taliban? is he just making shit up? We had less fighting and some success, but mostly because the Taliban adverted fighting a pitched battle against us. The opium trade is still flourishing there and funding the taliban and they STILL effectively control most of that province.

I agree Obama better either listen to the Generals or get the fuck out, but Sen. Hatch is TALKING OUT OF HIS ASS

[lock378]

Pretty much typical Cheney, none of his or his followers statements are based on facts.

[loonmaniac]

Sarah Palin shoud run for president with Gingrich. The campaign should be known as : Newty and the Blowfish.

[dfwtexxaas]

Enough is Enough...we need to get out of this War. We've been in Afghanistan for almost a decade now and things have only got worse. Oh yeah, and Osama Bin Laden still hasn't been captured.

[Loathomar]

Can you really call 10-20,000 troops a "war"? I mean, to police NY, NY there are 36,000. That if that is the force need to maintain a peaceful cities peace, for a population of 8 million in a small area, how do we think that 20k troops can do much for a war torn counties of 28 million, over a huge area? I am not so much say we should or shouldn't stay, but we have never really tried. Afghanistan troop levels are 1/7th that of Iraq levels, but Afghanistan was meant to be the war we should fight.

[loonmaniac]

Cheney belongs in front of a war crimes tribunal.

[aldernagon3]

Its amazing how the republicans are soooo bitter that they lost to a black man (actually biracial)

[longschlong69yes]

sounds like sen. brown is more of a gargler than a swallower

[Jacobrester]

Odumba has been a failure in so many ways

[gone2cast]

using pyramid laborers to prop up a corporate empire. lets see how that works out.

[walkwalkslow]

And while The Messiah President is throwing lavish concerts at the White House and playing Midnight Basketball, people are dying overseas and losing their households in this country.

Well done. Keep on playing the party politic game. This is why you don't elect someone w/o executive experience.

[EnhancementSmoker]

playing the party politic game? you are accusing Obama of doing precisely dick cheney is doing...

And Dick Cheney is accusing Obama of doing precisely what he and Bush did for 7 years...nothing in afghanistan...

ur position is crazy...

[walkwalkslow]

My POSITION is this: Barack Obama, Dick Cheney, George Bush, can all jump in a lake.

My "position" is: our government (at most levels) has become a country club in which WE pay the dues! I see difference between the two parties, in fact, they're the same party. And you and I aren't in their party.

When are people going to wake up to the fact that our government is a drain on our households? It grows and demands more while we become less and less powerful.

You come first. Your home. Think.

[EnhancementSmoker]

i agree...but i certainly couldnt tell that from your first comment

[walkwalkslow]

Fair enough.

[loonmaniac]

Like fucking Palin? She would have quit halfway through.

[walkwalkslow]

If I'm not mistaken, she was the Vice Presidential candidate. In any case, McCain can jump in a lake. Obama and McCain are politically indistinguishable, save for the (D) and (R) that follows their names on television and in print.

[stealth63]

Yeah! Just ask any neocon or progressive or independent. Jeeze, they both have their faults, but they are hardly interchangeable.

[walkwalkslow]

Wrong. Because if you allow the Gov't, in the form of any virtually any politician, absolute freedom to exercise what they feel is best/right for us, it doesn't matter which party, they end up in very similar places. Namely, more and larger gov't! And by proxy, a larger financial burden on you and I.

The US Gov't is beyond a force of resolution now. Beyond a force for individual rights. Beyond representation. It's a cancer that's eating our freedom of association and work. Time to choose.

[Ardenwolfe]

Dick Cheney has ZERO room to talk about military planning and movements.

Zero.

[ohkeepa2012]

DO NOT TAKE THE SWINE FLU VACCINE. Search FALL OF THE REPUBLIC on youtube. The globalist agenda is set but we have to stop the New World Order. As far as left or right is concerned, there is no right or left only right or wrong. 9/11 was an inside job. Wake up and realize the economic collapse was planned. This isn't conspiracy theory, its a matter of control in the hands of a few wealthy people. Know the truth, infowars . com

[Trashfished]

ohkeep you are probably right on everything here except no 911 was not an inside job. sorry

[NonconformingDissent]

Dick is a giant DICKHEAD

[TheJapanChannelDcom]

Always entertaining :-D

[Calcagsen]

Husband and Wife fight on my channel..check it outt

[elponced]

Dick Cheney is making more public appearances now, then when he was Vice President. What a coward!

[youbestbequiet]

Cheney called it right! Obama plays politics with troops and makes decisions based on polls. Next thing that will happen is we will all walk like the flu shot cheerleader if they pass Universal health care. Save yourselves and vote no!

[occy13]

Why would you even defend Bush and Cheney? Are you just ignorant??

[renijohn012270]

0:18= " President Obama now seems affraid to make a decision and unable to provide his commander on the ground with the troops he needs to complete the mission"

This guy Cheney is a true Dick! He is the one that pulled troops out of Afghanistan to fund his Haliiburton war in Iraq. He's the one responsible for Afghanistan being the way it is and he wants to poke jokes at Obama? LMFAO!

Dick Cheney is truly the lowest of the low in politics. Between him & Karl Rove, how are they not in jail?

[1911arthur]

How do they let this draft dodger, war criminal, even speak?

He is a disgrace to the US and an embarrassment.

[rainiertx]

Not sure how but they let draft dodger Clinton become president.

[FlowerClown]

and Bush and Cheney

[rainiertx]

Bush served in the Texas National Guard during the Vietnem War and Cheney had a miitary deferment. Now Bill Clinton fled the country. Now that I know you speak without research all your arguments are moot.

[walkeronthehorizon]

-Bush was not in the National Guard, he was in the Coast Gaurd

[rainiertx]

Bush joined the 147th Fighter Interceptor Group of the Texas Air National Guard on May 27, 1968, during the Vietnam War. He committed to serve until May 26, 1974, with two years on active duty while training to fly and four years on part-time duty. Nice try though.

[PatricksTime]

get your facts straight...you look like a dumbass!

[Hegemon54]

he was in the Air National Guard genius

[FlowerClown]

Same Same but different.

None of the three ever served in the battle field.

Clinton never started a war which killed thousands but W and Dick killed many, spent over a trillion and made this country the laughing stock of the World.

Just like Brownie they did a heck of a job.

[rainiertx]

Well if Clinton had done his job there would have been no war. All he did was weaken the military and shut down bases. Oh yeah, he bomber the diaper factory. Keep in mind they killed thousnads of Americans in a cowardly attack and we are safer for taking the fight to them. Lastly, I never heard we were a laughing stock but if so (because you can't prove it) I think the world has forgotten about Bush and are now laughing at Obama.

[loonmaniac]

You're a fucking moron.

[rainiertx]

loonmaniac  - Just like a liberal, no substance. Can't have a discussion based on facts so the liberal uses his only defense, calling people names and cussing which then proves the diminshed maturity level and lack of education. Please post elsewhere.

[arienmarie]

Obama out in 4 years.

[occy13]

Obama will be coming for ur mama!! Get her ready for another 4!!

[PhysicallyEthical]

That would be the strangest term in history. Written a bit hastily?

[mjnr7777]

Jimmy Carter was the "KING" of dithering.....guess he forgot about that.

[numberjuanchicano]

Dick, his mother gave him the right name. fuck dick Cheney. Im a religious man and i believe hw will one day burn in hell.

[dmhappy2777]

WISH HE WOULD RUN IN FRONT OF A TRUCK

[ZingZee123456789]

Im CONVINCED that Cheny is running for president in 2012.

Former politicians dont go on the attack like this simply because they want thier opinion to be heard. He must be planning to run for SOMETHING in the near future.

[RonPaulGeorgeRingo]

The dumbing DOWN of the modern conservative movement . . . Buckley Goldwater Nixon's Southern Strategy Reagan (talk & DEBT) Religious right hijacks Jesus. GOP hijacks the flag. Limbaugh & Hate Radio Fox "News" Bush/Cheney Palin Plumber Birthers Beck The ABYSS - Welcome conservatives! YOU ARE HERE!

[joelmwww]

It's telling and more than a little tired that the only response from conservatives is to label the president a socialist and messiah. Really? Does that count as clever where you come from? C'mon guys, either offer a genuine position, be a bit more creative or--hey, how about this?--shut the hell up.

[MonsterSound]

How does Hatch keep getting elected?

[TylerNull]

After chanting "Afghanistan" throughout his deceptive campaign, the Democrat's messiah is now revealing that too was another of his hoaxes.

Obama -- The Audacity of Socialists

[bnk384]

Think

[JoeJeffersonn]

The Mass Media have been jackbooted getting their marching orders from the White House and have a black out of the truth. ObayMao has committed 40k new troops to the War on Fox News but its the peoples 1st amendment that suffers. His Net Neutrality will cut off free speech on the net. Even Helen Thomas says ObaMaos worse than Nixon. ObayMeCare will ration care, and cost each or us more than 4K a year and add 2 Trillion to the deficit. Chains you can believe in.

[DecayingGreyPlanets]

[bigdogsdontbark]

grow up stop making Alex Jones rich, and get back to reality

[DillonX]

It's an old saying, repeated through the ages:

"War is too important a matter to be left to the generals."

I was in the military & know some Generals will always want more troops & always want to fight another war, or extend the war they are in.

They're bored out of their minds if they're sitting around doing nothing.

[xsleef]

violations of the Constitution continue as many still sit on their asses watching american Idol and ripping beer farts all day

[xsleef]

Cheney is lucky the whole system is corrupt or he and his side kick would be brought up on charges.

[xdir]

You have to give it to Cheney, the man has balls & chutzpah.

He ignored Gen.Shinseki and invaded Iraq with less troops then necessary, when it failed he pulled troops from Afghanistan and boosted Iraq, he deliberately ignored the rise of the Taliban and let them renew their strength and destabilize Pakistan, now he has the nerve to criticize Obama?

[charlesparenteau]

Dick Cheney should be arrested ,send to trial then to jail for the rest of his life !!

Bullshit war!

[imaginepeace63]

Two republicans and one democrat or is Ben Nelson a democrat. Sometimes I can't tell with his voting record.

[USA4July1776]

Obama sure seems in a hurry when it comes to passing gigantic deficit producing, job and economy-killing leftist agendas such as energy taxes or socialist medicine... but when it comes to our troops... nada.

[xdir]

You mean Obama should do what Bush did and proceed to a plan regardless of whats on the ground? Remember when Bush invaded Iraq with less troops then what military recommended? or ignored the fact the soldiers did not have the up armored humvees? then waited until thousands died before authorizing more troops, troops he pulled out of Afghanistan.

The Army needs objectives, ask ANY soldier, you want 40K more troops to prop up Karzai or do you want the Pres/Army to have a plan before Surging!!

[Silveracity]

I would like all U.S. military out of Iraq and Afghanistan. How do we get our Nobel peace prize winning president to do that? How many more Americans must die in Iraq and Afghanistan?

[xdir]

The US cannot leave, as Colin Powell said "You break it, you own it".

As to how many dead soldiers, to quote Bush from April 2008 "Whatever the cost, however difficult, we cannot afford it, we must win".

Unfortunately for Obama, GW Bush defined "win" as Democracy in the region & working Govts. Any withdrawal before such will be touted as a defeat by AlQaida/Taliban & the Right in the US.

Obama needs to redefine victory then draw up new plans & objectives to achieve that definition to withdraw.

[maha77]

Someone show me Cheney 's birth certificate. I want to confirm he is an actual human being, I suspect he hatched in some bog somewhere

[blah11blah]

thumbs up

[tjr247]

"Dithering" Dick

[souleiado]

Senator Hatch is clearly misinformed. The Helmand Province is currently a disaster and one of the most dangerous areas in Afghanistan. It is frightening that Hatch is completely oblivious to what is happening on the ground.

[champ1997]

Hatch is a politician, he's spinning. What about John King sitting there on his uninformed ass and letting Hatch make a FALSE statement. Why are we letting the STUPID, UNINFORMED, PRESS off the hook in these talking head encounters?

[nirbija]

On WHOSE WATCH did 911 occur?

Warmonger, war criminal and mass murder, cheney, is making a lot of noise to divert attention from the fact that the worse attack on US homeland OCCURRED ON HIS WATCH!

And it was not that there wasn't enough warning from those in a position to alert the nation: 911 occurred because of ignorance, arrogance & INCOMPETENCE of cheney-bush lost leadership

Obama is doing it right! Get the input of ALL credible Americans & allies, then put maniac muslims to flight

[drywater2k]

misleading title

[blah11blah]

Lol, how so?

[3star2nr]

LOL this is hilarious Obama is dithering? WTF did bush and cheney do for 8 fucking years

[Speakmymind02]

i hope you people in Ohio are real proud of electing this jackass..

[vaanjaa]

He said Slovenia instead of Slovakia

[wholetruthaboutabs]

Gates is going to Slovenia, not Slovakia.

[sinlaael]

Brown embodies my opinion exactly.

[hajqbvii]

You go Sen. Sherrod....Cheney and Bush "Dithered" on Afghanistan for 7 long yrs, and now Cheney wants pronto action from Obama???...

Hell, troop increase for Afghanistan were simultaneously turned down by Bush/Cheney...ask the generals who were there at that time!

[jasonsadventure]

sen hatch: "why not take the advise of the generals?"

answer: because the nation elected obama, not the generals, to run the country and our foreign policy.

and the president has both the right and responsibility to consider the options before sending tens of thousands into harms way.

does that help sen hatch?

[3star2nr]

Dude your arguing with conservatives. They only know how to follow orders and bash Obama. Ask them to do anything else and their heads explode

[Richardgwm]

Every time a Cheney speaks, a demon gets its horns.

[xsleef]

Yea cheney is almost as bad as a communist loving drone.

[BGDPPL]

you are the communist loving drones??

was that a random joke or just plain random cause i dont get it

[xsleef]

Yes i know you dont get it,Thats the problem..you fall for the lies and illusion..

[BGDPPL]

then why not explain it to me?

or is this a case of your paranoia getting the better of you?

[xsleef]

ok I'll try one more time-its really hard to show someone that doesnt want to see-bush 850b debt to private bankers-BO triple that,one (worthless)news media is speaking against the actors hidden agenda so (right to real media)almost null and void if you speak of anything other than bs balloon boy or against the regimes agenda(like russia did)BC/GWB/BO have the same masters-Same bs illegal powersGW gave himself BO kept them-Same fucken agenda no matter which puppet or color you vote for idiot.

[xsleef]

Wake up comrade-cant you see your country being robbed and on the verge of collapes thru your color seeing eyes?Who do you think the cattle are going to blame when no one buys our debt-(like now)china.japan.saudi.russia.f­rance(own 2 trillion each debt) want new currency=our money is based on debt-what happens when no one buys our debt-we collapes(bailouts)(on purpose?)One world currency-ect--look outside of your little box and see the big picture-we have been set up-our country is almost gone.
