Default Oh, the irony of it...

"I might add that people who consistently distort the truth in this way
are in no position to lecture anyone about “values.”"

Dicque Cheney...yesterday.

And more from the co-leader (along with Sarah Palin, Glenn Beck,
Rush Limbaugh, and the rest of the "We Hate America" crowd of the GOP):


"And what we've seen recently that has raised our level of concern to
the current state of unrest ... is that he now is trying, through his
illicit procurement network, to acquire the equipment he needs to be
able to enrich uranium -- specifically, aluminum tubes..."

Cheney said that President Barack Obama’s decision to release the
four top-secret Bush administration memos on the interrogation
techniques was "flatly contrary" to U.S. national security, and would
help Al Qaeda train terrorists in how to resist U.S. interrogations.

However, Blair, who oversees all 16 U.S. intelligence agencies, said
in his statement that he recommended the release of the memos, "strongly
supported" Obama’s decision to prohibit using the controversial methods
and that "we do not need these techniques to keep America safe."

Cheney said the Bush administration "moved decisively against the
terrorists in their hideouts and their sanctuaries, and committed to
using every asset to take down their networks."

The former vice president didn’t point out that Osama bin Laden
and his chief lieutenant, Ayman al Zawahri, remain at large nearly eight
years after 9/11 and that the Bush administration began diverting U.S.
forces, intelligence assets, time and money to planning an invasion of
Iraq before it finished the war in Afghanistan against Al Qaeda and the
Taliban.

Cheney denied there was any connection between the Bush
administration’s interrogation policies and the abuse of detainees at
Iraq’s Abu Ghraib prison, which he blamed on "a few sadistic guards ...
in violation of American law, military regulations and simple decency."

However, a bipartisan Senate Armed Services Committee report in
December traced the abuses at Abu Ghraib to the approval of the
techniques by senior Bush administration officials, including former
Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld.

"The abuse of detainees in U.S. custody cannot simply be
attributed to the actions of ’a few bad apples’ acting on their own,"
said the report issued by Sens. Carl Levin, D-Mich., and John McCain,
R-Ariz. "The fact is that senior officials in the United States
government solicited information on how to use aggressive techniques,
redefined the law to create the appearance of their legality and
authorized their use against detainees."

**** you, Cheney...may your pacemaker give out four hours away from any
hospital...and even that would be not enough to balance out the lives of
the 4,0000 American soldiers you and your ****-for-brains president sent
to die in Iraq for no damned good reason.

Harry tries to make people here think he is refined and cultured, and
here he is being vulgar, foul mouthed, and wishing death on someone.
