Dick Cheney Channels Nixon

[russlander227]

Say what you want about the guy. And I personally can't stand him. But you have to admit the guy is one smart motherfucker.

[silverton7777]

The worst human in the world and not an American but a war profiteer.

[wickstarr]

''he could launch an attack the world has never seen'' straight from the horses mouth what a bastard

[machalot]

What about that statement is wrong? His point is, the ACTUAL undisputed powers of the president are very great in this aspect.

[lgday]

the best V.P. the U.S. has ever had.

[davec3487]

Instead of asking this retard what is legal why doesn't someone look at the constitution. Obviously it is not if the Supreme Court rejected Bush/Cheney doctrine. They even stacked the court with conservative judges. In my line of work, I have to put my ass on the line for what these idiots think.

[spiller1975]

This guy is terrible, so undiplomatic and harsh.

[il128]

only congress can declare war.

[CoverFireHero]

now we go to war under un resolutions

[tito45]

It's not a dictatorship, Cheney !

[h1ghj3sus]

The Ultimate Deceiver... punishment is inevitable.

[caveatemp]

"carrying a football with the nuclear codes"?????

[LoveIsTheAnswer26]

Cheney has an MA in business from the U. of Wisconsin. In other words, he's not qualified to clean your toilet.

[Richardgwm]

Dick Cheney is a war criminal. He must be tried and executed.

[FredFoothand]

no he's not

[tylercjcl]

btw Kimmieso... Nixon went to Law school... what are you trying to tell me?

[tylercjcl]

It isnt the Presidents job to defend every country on earth from terrorism. Maybe if they adopted some of the strategies that the U.S has... they would see the same result that we have .. and that is 0 attacks.

[starzine]

QUOTE tylercjcl "It isnt the Presidents job to defend every country on earth from terrorism."

oh my god...your kidding right? it's not the job of the us president to be the world police

[FredFoothand]

good quote, very true. See, President of U.S. isn't President of say Guatemala...or say Greece ... or Latvia. POTUS is President of the U.S.A.

If other country's want him to be President of their country also, they can ask if they want. Other wise no...he is only President of the U.S.A.

[Francebrasil]

Is there justice in this world???

[kimmiesoo]

Cheney can argue all he wants about what he feels the president's constitutional powers are but the fact is he's NOT a lawyer and doesn't know what he's talking about, just knows what he was able to get away with and tries to justify. Obama is a constitutional scholar and well knows his stuff, so hopefully we will never again see the type of abuses of this administration.

[gevowavemagnet]

For a guy with one foot in the grave, he has no concept or chooses to ignore what awaits him.

[tylercjcl]

I bet you are the same one calling him a liar, which would make your argument very flawed.

[Shmecklecka]

Did anyone else catch that moment in the 'lighting round' where when asked about his 'highpoint', chainey replied "911"?

GUILTY TO THE CORE.

This man is an epic war criminal, an admitted violator of international law, Habeous Corpus, and a mass killer, abuser of the military of the usa to kill on a vast scale, and remains utterly unapologetic for the horror he has caused people of NO THREAT TO THE USA.

For the first time he actually looked scared.

[tylercjcl]

thankfl beat me to it!

[tylercjcl]

Some people will never notice how right Cheney is. Call me crazy- but the Bush administration kept America safe for 7 years. For that I thank them.

[diginando]

"You're crazy". If you think the Bushites have kept you safe for 7 years, then you will never undestand what terrorism want to do...and what these terrorist wanted to do was to divide and conquer the enemy. America HAS been divided (just look at the election) and its economy is in ruins, thanks to simple-minded leadership that fell into the trap of going to war on 2 fronts. This is basic battle strategy and both Bush and Cheney fell for it.

But the worse part is that people like you bought it.

[thankfl]

Talk about 'divided', our Country has been divided for two hundred years! Did you read about the Truman/Dewey election in History class? And by the way, our economic woes can be laid squarely at the feet of the Dems: FDR initiated the CRA (Community Reinvestment Act) with sole purpose to give home loans to lesser qualified buyers.

Carter began Fannie Mae. Clinton GREATLY increased scope of CRA. Senators B. Frank and C. Dodd refused Republican calls 3 yrs ago 2 crack down on Fannie/Freddie!

[diginando]

Some valid points, but the country has not been "this" divided for a long time. Actually some would say since the civil war...I would not go that far though. As for cherry-picking through recent history for your argument, you should also add Regan and Bush Sr. to this list...hell! The whole, if the President does it, it isn't illegal thing, goes back to Nixon (Republican). All are guilty, at some degree, but Bush Jr will go down as "The Facilitator"

[47f0]

Yeah, tylercjcl, the Bush administration kept us safe - except for, you know, that whole worst terrorist attack ever anywhere thing. But I notice you guys always start the clock where you choose. Nice chronological editing there, bucko.

[thankfl]

Let's be historically and chronologically correct. Clinton chose NOT to take out Bin Laden (at least!) 3x's during his administration. Facts are such a stubborn thing, aren't they?

[47f0]

Let me be sure I've got this right. Clinton should have taken out Bin Laden because he was such a blatantly obvious threat, but when you talk about your hero Bush, somehow his inaction and blindness to that blatantly obvious threat is a good thing? Hate logic much?

What says even more about you is that I never even mentioned or defended Clinton - that's just your knee-jerk reaction to any challenge to St. Bush's golden throne.

[thankfl]

Actually, I LOVE logic! Here's some: Clinton had 8 (EIGHT) yrs to take decisive action against bin Laden and Bush had 8 (EIGHT) MONTHS! Facts, facts, facts - I LOVE FACTS! The point of this discussion is that President Bush has kept our Country safe from attack for 7 years (FACT! FACT! FACT!) I'm thankful, VERY thankful. If you are not thankful for this, it's America. Be UNthankful (quietly, please).

[47f0]

That's what gives away the fact that not only are you guys delusional, but utterly anti-American. Sir, don't tell any American, "quietly please". You should be ashamed, but considering the shameful administration you support, shame is clearly not something you are capable of.

Bush had the advantage of eight years PLUS eight months of intelligence - and did squat. Again, you keep pushing that Clinton button like some dumb trained hamster, and again, I never defended Clinton.

[thankfl]

First, I'm not a 'Sir', I'm a 'Ma'am'. The ONLY reason I inject Clinton into this conversation is to give historical context to what occurred.

You are correct in saying that I am not ashamed of my thankfulness for President Bush's administration keeping us safe these past 7 yrs. I pray soon-to-be President Obama will do as well. This is my last post on this topic. It's incredibly difficult to have a conversation w/ those who's only recourse in dialogue is illogical rants.

[wickstarr]

yes bush hasn't run a false flag attack in 7 years

he's a scumbag so is cheney and divine justice will take its toll

at the end of the day your all gonna die

[Francebrasil]

"""except""" ????????????????????? you are delusional.. It was on their watch .... They are just as responsible for this tragedy as the terrorists who commited this atrocity..

[thankfl]

Thank God for President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney! Their administration has kept our Country safe from another devastating terrorist attack for more than 7 years. This administration has taken the fight to the Islamofacists and decimated their infrastructure. For that, every American owes them a enormous debt of gratitude.

[osiris2669]

terrorist attacks have increased worldwide by as much as 30% in a single year, 06 compared to 05. terrorists don't have to come to america to kill americans now and it allows them to kill us more and more. Consider the 6 killed in 93 compared to 3k in 01 but 4k and counting in iraq.

poor economic conditions foster radical islamic groups, by destroying infrastructure we simply create more men inclined to become terrorists.

[thankfl]

Wouldn't you agree that the United States of America has done more to rebuild the infrastructure of Iraq (schools, roads, bridges, electrical grids etc etc) then any nation on earth ... ever? Consider that the devastation of Iraq's infrastructure was caused by the convicted war criminal, Sadaam Hussein. Islamofascism is bred by dictators, sharia law and madrases indoctrination. All of which inevitably lead to poverty of mind, spirit, and living conditions.

[kcp12304]

I wasn't aware that Osama bin laden captured or killed. Oh and tell the people of Iraq, Spain, Britian, India, Isreal, Afganistan, Pakistan, and some others that terrorism has decreased overall in the world.

[Minionuup]

Dick Cheney is a true, tested leader. A patriot. The rest of you leftist fools are walking turds. Morons. Hypocrites. Liars. Douche-Bags. Tools. Ballbag sniffing cumquat's. Cheney has more manhood, more honor, more intelligence in one NUT than the rest of you do in your entire bloodline including heather.

[diginando]

I guess, that having an intelligent discussion with you is out of the question, then?

[johnedwards1968]

The problem with Cheneys arguement isn't the president's authority. The problem with it, is that Congress didn't declare WAR. The arguement about a presidents powers under wartime measures is interesting, but not relevant.

[durcetcurval]

go back shoot your friends in the face, fat fuck

[diginando]

No need for this bile. He may be a war-criminal, but he still has to have his day in court. Maybe.

[newmanfrigan]

Would anyone cry if Dick Cheney died?

[KURTHUNT]

He suffers from severe paranoia. He's also evil..... and he has no understanding of the Constitution.

[garthggarth]

SAd, sick, Fuck.

We've been in "war time" for like 50 out of the last 60 years.

So by Cheney's definition, the prez can do whatever he wants pretty much whenever he wants, and boy does he love "both foreign and domestic" enemies. Oh, and according to Dick Hitler, he and only he decides what documents passed to him are personal documents rather than executive document--THIS IS MOST IMPORTANT-- He can supposedly hide any piece of imformation he wants. period, supposedly, even W can't see them.

[gamoonbat]

If the president or vice president does it, then that makes it legal.

[Mahoivlich]

Cheney must be privileged as no one give ceo jobs to people with arts degrees.

[johnbadanderson]

War Criminal

[dlacc187]

uhhh...this guy is sooo beyond douchebag its not even funny anymore. he is just purely evil.

[natural]

The world is worst off as the result of his existence.

you can't say that to a lot of people mean it literally.

[richardmartinezfilms]

That Cheney sure knows the constitution.

[diginando]

I hope you're kidding.

[richardmartinezfilms]

haha...very much so.  I have been awake for the past 8 years...although sometimes I wish I wasn't.
