cheney

I'm with Wanda Sykes on how much this guy scares me. While everything about her bit seemed exaggerated, I in truth wouldn't want my children getting into a car with this guy. Why does everyone think he is continuing to force a platform? He seems paranoid, but why he really scares me is that he makes me paranoid too in an opposite direction w/r/t conspiracies.

The real meaning

Perhaps someone could explain to Cheney that it is not some "vast conspiracy", what it actually means when the majority of the world is telling you that your position is wrong is that... you are wrong! But it seems he can't see that he could be mistaken in any of his guises, VP, Republican or warmonger.

doing the impossible

"We fail to recognize the fact that we're alone out there in terms of trying to achieve the objective of forcing the Iranians to give up their nuclear weapons."

That would be like trying to achieve the objective of forcing me to give up my billions of dollars.

Seriously, what is wrong with this guy?

Iran is NOT suicidal

The Mullahs and Ahmajenahad make talk a good game about wiping out the Zionists, but they're savvy enough to know that if even one Iranian nuke gets detonated anywhere in the world, the response from the US and Israel would be so immediate and massive that Tehran would be turned into 50 sqaure miles of black glass.

On the other hand, they're also certain that if they get The Bomb, they won't have to worry that some future Bush or Cheney will invade Iran. (It's kind of their version of MAD -- or of Israel's Samson Option, where they pledge to nuke Arab capitals if Israel is ever on the verge of being overrun.)

So, I think at this point, the world would be a lot more comfortable living with a nuke-armed Iran than a nuke-armed N. Korea or Pakistan. There's some real crazies in those countries....

P.S. For Iranians of all politcal persuasions, their nuclear program conjures up the same sort of pride that the space program did in the US back in the '60s. So attacking the program would probably be the most effective way to totally unite the currently faction-ridden Iranian population in complete resistance against that attacker....

Liz Cheney thinks she's an expert?

Liz is the authority on NOTHING. And Dick, we all know, is just a liar.

LIZ CANNOT SAVE HER BLOVED DAD-NOBODY CAN!

The republicans just don’t get or don’t want to get it. The jig is up. The American people have awaken and we are not buying anymore used cars from you guys. The last two elections we bought clunkers from you and as a result we cant get to work. GET IT? We are not buying anymore. You guys remind me of the con-men I watched growing up on the south side of Chicago. When everybody learned that whet they were selling were not real diamonds, they would stand on the corner for days trying to trick just one more person. After a while they would pack up and move down south--Alabama-Mississippi-Georgia-Tennessee where they thought the people were more gullible. Today the Republicans call it their Southern Strategy. With the con-men a living could still be made-In politics that theory cannot be duplicated because there is not enough votes down south to win any major elections. that’s why they are trying to sell succession. It is over, the fat lady has been singing for over two years now and the Republicans are tone death. Trick NO GOOD! Stealing taxpayer dollars has become unfashionable. Starting wars based on lies will not sell anymore. The shelf life has expired. They can continue trying to resurrect Ronald Reagan all they want he is still dead. Tom Delay is going to jail-All the closeted homosexual opponents to gay rights are being outed, All the pedophiles, who write legislation against child abuse, are being exposed, all the racist who still dream of having sex with the ole black mammy are expressing their desires in public, all the so-called patriots, who got every deferment they could beg, borrow or steal while chicken hawking war are being uncovered, all the radio hosts who advocate long sentences for drug abuse are being exposed for taking an entire pharmaceutical yearly supply of oxcycotins, all the politicians against immigration are being revealed for not even paying taxes on their very own undocumented slave labor-not to mention the forced sex upon these desperate people. Yeah…….me thinks the game is over and the wizard behind the curtain has been revealed…The knowledge of the Emperor who has no clothes under his robe has been revealed and the most shocking news is that he has a very-very-very little penis!

Can you imagine if this was a Democrat former VP criticizing a sitting GOP Prez months into the term?

He would be eviscerated, drawn, quartered, called undemocratic, a whiner, a loser, and that's just the MSM.

Fox news would call him a traitor. It would be a 24 hour full court press to throw him into Gitmo.

But no, everybody treats ole Darth Vader with kid gloves and continues to give him a forum.

Why is Dick Cheney's skank daughter on the Tube??

Besides being the offspring of assholes, what qualifications does she have to discuss anything?

Wednesday, May 13, 2009 08:47 AM

Danger??

it seems that our former VP Cheney has forgotten that Pakistan really has a bomb and a disorganized government and Al Queda on its border with Afghanistan. Mr. Cheney you had your chance and your paranoia screwed everything up. Now you had your turn-give us a break and step out.

Why on earth would the Iranians want a nuclear weapon

They are bordered by an American Puppet state to the west and another American Puppet state to the east. The US once overthrew their government an installed a brutal dictator. When the dictator was overthrown, Iran was invaded by their western neighbor with the tacit approval of the US and Europe, using chemical weapons made from supplies purchased from Europe.

Now, a national leader is advocating a path that can only lead to Iran being invaded by the US.

Why on earth why they want to develop such a weapon.
