Why is Cheney talking like a robot?

Step 1) Infiltrate country/organization you wish to overthrow.
Step 2) Fire a few missiles toward your own country.
Step 3) Use that as reasoning to wage an all-out takeover.
Step 4) PROFIT!

Why is Cheney talking?

I predict that Israel will get it's name spelled incorrectly at least thirty times in this thread.

After all, this will look bad for Bush's legacy, right?

Permission? Clearance? Cheney still suffers delusions of being overlord of the world.

Plenty of people will say otherwise.

Not me, but plenty would. You know how it is.

You can see Russia from Israel, you know.

Clearance? Approval? As this administration so very adroitly demonstrated on March 20, 2003 that a country doesn't require the approval nor permission of other countries to do whatever it damned well pleases.

Mr. Cheney- you're leaving. Shut your mouth, shut the door.

Israel is the 51st state.

Israel should seek permission for every hostile action they plan on undertaking. The US pays for Israel's military and provides Israel with military technology and arms, so they should only use it when the US deems it necessary. Without the US, Israel would already be a part of Egypt, Jordan, etc. Israel is forever indebted to the US so they should only take military actions when it benefits the US.

Hey Dick, it sucks when a country unilaterally invades another doesn't it!

That's just the thing. I am not so sure the rat bastard will ever cease trying to control and undermine things for whatever covert gain he has in mind.
The very notion that he would expect a sovereign nation to ask permission to protect it's own people, is indicative of his very scary mindset.

I don't think he is going away anytime soon. Unless of course his space ship from planet "Buckshot" comes to retrieve him.

 
Spanky_McFarksalot 2009-01-04 12:01:45 PM  
Sounds like he was responding to a question not making a criticism. I'd have to see the video.

Yeah screw the security of it's people, that comes last.

He's miffed?

Cheney says Israeli leaders probably decided that an air campaign was not enough to take out the rocket-launching sites.

Yeah he's full of miff.

Does subby believe Israel went ahead without a U.S. green-light?

 
HappyDaddy 2009-01-04 12:11:32 PM  
Interesting that so few of you seem to let the fact that he said nothing at all to indicate that he expected to be consulted, or was concerned at not having been, color your posts.

Interesting, but not surprising.

Arrogant asshole, America doesn't rule the planet. I'm glad he's almost gone.

That's a bit of a stretch. Why would he say this in the first place?

 
TheOther [TotalFark] 2009-01-04 12:15:16 PM  
Israel just wanted to get it done before Obama took office, since he seems marginally less likely to enthusiastically endorse anything and everything Israel does.

I watched it. If he was miffed you couldn't tell. He just answered the question like any other. Trollerific headline is trollerific.

Apparently forgetting that he has to at least pretend Israel is not part of the United States, Dick Cheney miffed that they didn't ask his permission first before invading Gaza

The Palestians and those on the Left do have a legitimate grievance against Israel. All they want is some kind of final solution, so the Palestinians can have some living room.

I think that is pretty likely.

As much as I despise this man, wasn't his statement a disclaimer, not a complaint?

These are the types of statements that get broadcast around the world and further fuel anti-Americanism, whether interpreted rightly or wrongly. Cheney has obviously never read "The Quiet American" or "The Ugly American" for that matter or else he would have been more careful about the words he chose to use. Actually, I would have been happy if he had given any sign during the past eight years that he had read the constitution. There are few people I truly loathe, and he is one of them.

ahahahahah...you guys are funny. I have NEVER liked Darth Cheney, or Ashcroft, or Gonzalez. When I found out Ashcroft tried to stop Gonzalez on his sick bed, I gained back a little respect for him. Just cause I criticize your politician, doesn't make me a blind follower of BushCo. I've always railed against the Patriot Act and it's not going anywhere anytime soon. I believe the Liberals will expand it.

/blah blah.

There is no way that the liberals will expand it. They need to make it EASIER for pornography, child molesters, commies, gays and the French to brainwash citizens. Duh. Didn't you get your pamphlet?

Can't argue with that. Let us not forget Cheney's connection to said CEOs.

The best part of the article was the 'early version' dispatch on the AP:

The Senate's leaders are standing solidly behind Israel's ground operation against Hamas...Sens. Harry Reid and Dick Durbin - the top two Democrats in the chamber - and Republican leader all say Israel's actions are understandable.

'Party of Peace'.

smeegle: That's a bit of a stretch. Why would he say this in the first place?

Apparently because he was asked. He said, no, they didn't ask our "permission." The rest of his comments certainly suggest that the administration supports the decision. Subby is a member of the burgeoning "distorting the substance of the article in the headline - for fun and profit" industry.

I am not making a Godwin, merely stating their desire that the occupation end so Palestine may be free, from the river to the sea.
