Dick Cheney and the like confuse tough words for strength and 8 years of failed policy for direct action. Dick Cheney lacks the judgment and moral standing to make decisions on national security as evidenced by the Iraq and Afghan Wars. It really doesn't surprise me that dishonest, hypocritical, and chicken hawk apologist like Dick Cheney use this moment to continue their never ending attacks on President Obama. It's almost like they want terrorist to succeed and Obama to fail. Cheney is warning of attacks to the US more often than Osama Bin Laden! I'm happy the Diaper Bomber failed. His failure is an opportunity for us to search for ways to protect against foreign and domestic haters.

Obama "reassured" us that the "suspect" has been charged and they took him to the county jail in Detroit and found him a lawyer?? WTF!!! The president SHOULD be saying...."we have captured an enemy combatant--an illegal combatant under the laws of war, no uniform, direct attack on civilians--and now to prevent future attacks, he is being interrogated regarding information he may have about Al Queda in Yemen." The whole thing is perverse. Obama sends 30,000 troops to fight terror overseas, yet if any terrorists come to attack us HERE, they are magically transformed from enemy into defendant. He's a complete embarassment to the office. He doesn't get it. He keeps referring to this guy as an "extremist." A man who shoots abortion doctors is an extremist. An eco-fanatic that torches logging sites is an extremist. Abdulmutallab is not one of these. He is a jihadist. A government that refuses to admit we are at war and refuses to even name the enemy (jihadist is a word banished from the Obama vocabulary) turns laxity into a governing philosophy.

Neither Cheney's words nor his actions resulted in the eradication or reduction of Al Qaeda or a significant reduction in global terrorism. As far as I'm concerned Dick Cheney was the one who put the guy's diaper on him! Cheney and his supporters are delusional if they think the words used to describe the capture of one loon out of thousands is going to make the problems go away. Cheney and his supporters are as out of touch with reality as Bin Laden and his supporters! One needs to come out of hiding and the other needs to go into hiding. All of Bush's mistakes are now Obama's fault to a guy who is an embarrassment to all ex-Vice Presidents. Cheney must have difficulty dealing with his record of ineptitude and incompetence because he is trying hard to revise 8 years of failed politics. I know Obama is tired of dealing with Cheney's legacy of bad advice to George Bush. How could someone of sound mind and judgment say that Cheney's advice was 100% correct? Dick Cheney is not a credible source for advice! Edited by TR808 (01/01/10 02:04 PM) _________________________ "Good music is good no matter what kind of music it is." -- Miles Davis

TR808 Member Registered: 07/21/09 Posts: 1088	Originally Posted By: SH It's Bush's fault. ROTFLMAO! You may just be correct! First, the top GOP leader blocked Obama's selection to head up the TSA. Therefore, Bush's policies remain in effect until the Republicans stop BSing. Top GOP guys also voted against explosive detection equipment an additional security measures in airports. If this stuff weren't so real, it would be truly laughable! Quote: Republicans have cast votes against the key TSA funding measure that the 2010 appropriations bill for the Department of Homeland Security contained, which included funding for the TSA, including for explosives detection systems and other aviation security measures. In the June 24 vote in the House, leading Republicans including John Boehner, Pete Hoekstra, Mike Pence and Paul Ryan voted against the bill, amid a procedural dispute over the appropriations process, a Democrat points out. A full 108 Republicans voted against the conference version, including Boehner, Hoekstra, Pence, Michelle Bachmann, Marsha Blackburn, Darrell Issa and Joe Wilson. GOP blame at TSA? Quote: Sen. Jim DeMint has locked a "hold" on President Obama's pick to head the Transportation Security Administration over concerns the nominee would undermine safety by allowing airport security screeners to unionize, the latest in a series of appointments stymied by Republican objections that are increasingly frustrating the Senate's Democratic majority. Quiet GOP tactic stalls top Obama appointments _________________________ "Good music is good no matter what kind of music it is." -- Miles Davis

Kat Musical Technologist Member Registered: 12/24/00 Posts: 4344 Loc: Danbury, Connecticut	ouch. This thread gave me a headache! Dick Cheney's opinion is no longer relevant.... he's not the VP anymore. So he should be quiet on matters on national security.... because the terrorists want a divided America, not a strong America. _________________________ I've Got Jazz...Do You?

Eight GOP Senators Opposed Bill That Funded Airport Screening And Explosive Detection Eight???? Out of how many...about 180 in the House? So what? That means 95% voted for it. Talk about spin... As far as the GOP holding up his appointments...do you blame them? Obama's track record of appointees is poor at best. None of them pay their taxes. http://www.intellectualconservative.com/...ama-appointees/ Edited by SH (01/01/10 04:46 PM)
