Cheney: Possible Investigation By Obama "Outrageous Political Act"

Dick Cheney says that the Obama administration possibly pursuing an investigation of lawyers from the Bush administration regarding torture "an outrageous precedent to set," calling it an "intensely partisan politicized look back" at the prior administration.

"I think it's an outrageous political act that will do great damage long-term."

He added that the fact that the Obama administration is even thinking about such an investigation after their "track record of defending the nation" for eight years "offends the hell out of me."

He goes on to say that "advanced interrogation techniques" such as waterboarding were "absolutely essential."

"there are videos of people on Youtube walking away fine after being waterboarded. How is it torture?"

Videos done for demonstration purposes are EXTREMELY different than real world applications. Ask Christopher Hutchins or radio personality Mancow, both of whom volunteered to be waterboarded, if afterward they view it as torture.

"Opposition to waterboarding is highly political in nature, with a highly pro-Palestinian, pro-Islamofascist slant."

You sir, are out of your fucking mind. We executed Japanese military personal for doing it to our soldiers during WWII. Why? It was legally defined as torture, and punishable by death.

Are you ok with enemies waterboarding US soldiers?

TORTURE DICK CHENEY.

Enhanced interrogations enabled our SEALs to put a bullet in bin Laden's head. Bush and Cheney to Obama: "You're welcome."

Cheney is the man who controlled portions of 9-11 from an underground bunker. Norman Mineta, the transportation secretary, testified under oath that Cheney knew about the plane coming into the pentagon and would not allow it to be stopped. Cheney and his PNAC buddies openly wrote about their desire for a "new Perl Harbor" so they could attack Iraq, Afghanistan and eventually Iran. They got what they wanted, hence, no more need for “terrorist” attacks.

You are looking at the individual who attacked the trade centers for profit. Once the profits starting rolling in then there was no need for further attacks. I get a charge out of him saying they prevented terrorist attacks for 8 years and he emphasizes quite successfully I might add. Not hard to do when your the one doing it fucktard!

I would almost trade a testical if I could get in the Boxing ring with cheney...If I could get in the ring with a leader of the jesuits I would probably trade both!

Cheney talking about looking after CIA agents. Didnt he out Agent Valerie Plame and destroy her career coz he didnt like what her Ambassador husband had to say about the existence of yellowcake in Niger. Whats worse is he made Scooter take the wrap, but then W just pardoned him anyway. How can a credible GOP stand behind him? You know hes got a gay daughter, doesnt that fuck with your whole conservative ideology or something?? malevolence

[iconoclast911]

Oh, he's pissed that someone would investigate his diabolical genocidal fraudulent criminal administration. This monster likes to torture people who have never been charged with any crimes. You don't get any good information from torture. People will confess to anything once you start drilling into their heads with a Black and Decker. It is inhuman un-American and Satanic. This scum bag should be hanged already. He's as evil as the day is long.
