Maybe he needs an "enhanced interrogation" so he can tell us what he really knows.

You know, it's really hard to follow these statements. Either the Bush Administration saw it coming and tried to stop it, but those evil democrats stopped them and blocked legislation or it's something that nobody saw coming and everybody was completely unprepared for and the Bush Administration is doing the best it can to keep things floating.

Cheney reminds me of Baghdad Bob; "who are you believing, me or your lying eyes?"

bulldg4life: or it's something that nobody saw coming and everybody was completely unprepared for and the Bush Administration is doing the best it can to keep things floating.

Doesn't that mean that they're incompetent? I mean, aside from all the other stuff that they've failed at.

That's really the essence of it. If this happened as a result of their policies, then they're cripplingly incompetent. If it "just happened," and, "nobody saw it coming," then...um...they're still pretty much cripplingly incompetent.

It's going to take a very long time to undo the damage done by this administration.

From another article:

Cheney also said during an interview Thursday with The Associated Press that he has no qualms about the reliability of intelligence obtained from terrorism suspects through waterboarding, a technique simulating drowning. The vice president said waterboarding has been used with "great discrimination by people who know what they're doing" and produced much valuable information.

Just amazing.

But are these the droids I'm looking for?

Here's a novel idea, since Cheney is seen nowadays as a terrorist why don't we put him up for a ride on the Waterboard and see what results we'll get. If we're really lucky, he might confess more than he'd like to tell us

Take comfort knowing that when he goes, it'll likely be a massive and painful heart attack.

They're never the droids you're looking for.

Yeah, he's getting off way too easy.

No one anywhere thinks Dick Cheney is a lying dumbass.

Isn't this the same guy that said the office of the VP is not in the Executive Branch or the Legislative Branch?

Dick Cheney lies.

Just like no one thought the levees would break, right?

PanicMan: Just like no one thought the levees would break, right?

Or that Iraq has WMDs, no one in BushCo was involved in PlameGate...and other myths

Skleenar: Vice President Dick Cheney says he sees no reason for President George W. Bush to pre-emptively pardon anyone who authorized or was involved in harsh interrogations of suspected terrorists.

Scary. From that link: He says they followed the administration's legal opinions.

Soooo, BushCo thinks torture is a valid form of interrogation? Wonder what he'd say if HE was subjected to this "interrogation" ...ya know to see if he's hiding anything about his evil role as the mastermind behind the destruction of the American Dream

I saw the financial crisis coming, oh, about the three years ago when the stock market kept making wild gains for no good reason. Most people were elated - I was a little terrified.

/Not an economist
//Not blindly stupid, either

FTFY

It wasn't destroyed, it was outsourced.

"I don't think anybody could have predicted that these people would take an airplane and slam it into the World Trade Center, take another one and slam it into the Pentagon; that they would try to use an airplane as a missile, a hijacked airplane as a missile." - Condoleezza Rice, May 16, 2002

"I don't think anybody anticipated the breach of the levees." - George Bush, September 5, 2005

I'm sorry, did Dick Cheney say something? I couldn't hear it over all of the farking lying.

Why do we even bother asking W and Dick questions anymore? Can't we just make up our own absurd, lying denials and attribute them to these guys? Because watching his face as he lies to us yet again isn't good for my lumbago.

It annoys me that my nation's been led by a group of people unable to make the same connections as dudes on YouTube.

Well what was he supposed to say?

You guys have to understand, young W was the sort of guy who was surprised every time he ended up hung over.

I have it on good authority that Obama wrote a letter about the financial crisis. Two years ago.

So we're doomed to have someone find his remains, which will start the cycle over again resulting in another battle with Dick Cheney?

Bicycle safety tip: Well what was he supposed to say?

"Of course we saw it coming. But we're rich, so fark you."

What truly diseased minds he and his ilk have.

Its like the entire administration has never seen anything coming. They probably didn't even expect 2009 to happen.

'Fraid So.

So Cheney moved the majority of his wealth into Euros right before the dollar tanked against other currencies by sheer luck, eh?

I have this dream that Cheney dies and is reincarnated as such a low, scummy creature that even the cockroaches avoid him.

I have it on better authority that Ron Paul made a speech about this... seven years ago.(^)

Not just financial collapse, he pretty much figured out how the rest of the decade would play out.

It's true, the Inquisition did know what they were doing.

If I farking saw it coming with no background in economics or country-running, for them not to have seen it coming they must be retarded.

Oh, wait.

Pure WIN

Does it really matter what he says at this point? As long as he isn't telling bush to declare marshal law and stay in power who cares?

\Only half joking.

Everyone knows that he has lunatic followers, and shouldn't be trusted. Right? Why else would the media devote 9 out of 10 stories to Ron Paul's fringe followers, instead of the man?

/Would have voted for him if he didn't drop out.
