mrs. dick cheney's fact-free spinning: STOPPED!

jon stewart, on his "daily show", helps mrs. cheney see that fact free admin-spin points flame out rather quickly when not offered on the fox network -- a simple "gee, spain was bombed, and london -- TWICE!" -- all AFTER 9/11, leaves her looking both a bit hollowed-out, and nakedly-callous-for-political-effect, no?

take a look!

She didn't forget london or spain. If you can explain how London, England or Madrid, Spain are part of the USA I'd be glad to take this back. You are reaching for it with this video. She clearly says "we", meaning America. She is the type that is not like you idiots, she is actually proud to be an American and identifies herself with her country by saying we. This is a waste of a video.

[nolocontendre2007]

humanlynx -- you are correct about one thing: she did NOT forget about london, or madrid.

she just doesn't care. she went on to say "not core to our interests" -- not just that it wasn't on u.s. soil. she believes all that matters is u.s. soil. british soldiers spilled the same blood, in the same mud, with us in iraq and afganistan. she is simply repeating her despot husband's lies. and she got called on it. thus my video.

c h e e r s!

[thehumanlynx]

she says "we are talking about American Interests" meaning American soil. You are reaching bro. If you can extrapolate that she doesnt care about anything else but US soil from that little clip you have a seriously vivid imagination or youve been reading too much daily kos. What in that clip is a lie? Nothing, you are an idiot. Is it our job to stop terrorists from bombing Madrid or London? Its the administrations job to protect us here in America.

i gather you missed that whole "coalition of the willing" blather by ubya and her husband, eh?

they repeatedly said we'd stand together against terrorism (that is, until a tallking

point became more important than people, to them).

so, your mileage varies. so be it, "bro".

if you don't like mine -- don't look.

it won't hurt you not to look. . . and

i won't be offended.  honestly. i won't.

well, haflor -- sixxnil is right, spain's in NATO, and thus, our ally -- but that said, it is curious you believe it a persuasive criticism [of jon stewart] to suggest that spain need not be con- sidered -- as that leaves BOTH london bombings: is the UK core to "american interests", haflor? YES, or no? just answer -- no waffling, now. . . [that is why the audience booed lynne cheney.] just the same -- cheers, and. . . p e a c e

[random0815]

before that she said we should look at the historical perspective for comparison, actually experts did that in the planning for iraq and it was among others her husband who practically ordered all these insights, research and advices to be completely ignored, nothing of what she said made any real sense

[nolocontendre2007]

quite so, random 0815.

the whole faux-genteel-western-belle

fell immediately away, as stewart

suggested she was simply carrying

pungent loads of sheep-dip for

her husband, dick, and his one-

trick pony, george dubbya.

it was sad, actually.

It seems like if she meant "American soil," she would have said "American soil." It's not like those two terms are interchangeable. She said what she said and she meant it.

Also, way to get your point across without having to resort to childish name-calling. It really makes you seem that much more intelligent.

PS - Isn't stopping terrorism the whole reason we invaded Iraq to begin with? Aside from that pesky "oil" thing.

[Sunna4One]

I cannot believe she shrugged off the deaths of people in other countries from terrorist attacks as inconsequential in relation to "American interests". That's truly deplorable, and I believe anyone who watches this will see that.

I don't know how these people can sleep at night, the hypocrisy is so widespread.

[sjayjayw]

ya, London was attacted the same way as the world trade center, the police were conducting a terrist exercise of a bomb on a train, when the bomb on the train went of, at the same station at the same time.

[scumhorror]

for the frist time i agree with a bush and freinds point... we haven't been attacked sense 911...it sucks that london has been but last time i checked the usa isn't gaurding england...that being said she is still spewing propaganda

[solojam]

whers da guillotine....

[thehumanlynx]

that pesky oil thing? We've seized all the oil in Iraq? I wasn't aware of that. We don't need their sand ridden oil, we have reserves here in America that could rival the Saudis, but the tree hugging hippies would rather pay $4 gallon and complain then just let us put up some oil rigs and increase our domestic production.

16 UN violations year after year and a toothless UN is why we went in to get rid of a murderous dictator and bring freedom to an oppressed people, Geez we (Americans) are mean

[thehumanlynx]

Also, sorry I used to word "idiots" I realize that it was hurtful, I apologize for the verbal assault on your delicate hypersensitive spirits.

Her husband and the President are charged with protecting, preserving, and defending the Constitution of the US. Whether or not scummy terrorist pukes attack england or spain does not make them in breach of that oath. Protecting America is paramount, not europe. Thats the fact, shes not heartless she is right that America should be paramount. Get overit

[thehumanlynx]

You guys are unrelenting about this. She said "we havent been attacked" that means America. Not we, all of humanity, havent been attacked. In case you and nolo missed it. We (America, for the daft in the room) were attacked on 9-11, not madrid or london. We (again, America) haven't been attacked in 6 years. Got it?

Ultimately we want to stop terrorism abroad but its more important to stop attacks on our own citizens and lands - - that is the "we" she is referring to.

[thehumanlynx]

That has nothing to do with what she said in this interview. She clearly meant American Soil , not the soil of any one of our many allies.

Now they dont stand together against terrorism b/c Mrs. Cheney correctly stated that America hasn't been attacked?!? WE haven't been. So where is the lies? There is none.

No point in talking to you. Go drink some koolaid and good luck with the impeachment proceedings. You seem very content relying solely on group think mentality. Enjoy yourself, "bro".
