He also said that Syria intervention should have been done ages ago...and that there needed to be some real plan about what to do.

And that just might bring things to the table.

[Sacajaweau]

I see where Cheney is coming from but I believe Obama's method is way beyond what was allowed after 9-11. And the Dems fought the Repubs tooth and nail....over and over and over...just like quantanamo (sp??)

We've ALWAYS had surveillance and spies...from the Revolutionary War to the present.

[RobertClark]

Whatever the program was, when he was in charge has been CHANGED and EXPANDED.

The manner in which you stated this implies certainty and a familiarity with the groundwork put in place during the Bush administration. What would you expect Cheney to do? He is not going to condemn something that he had a hand in implementing, lest he be exposed as a hypocrite. He is a politician first - patriot is somewhere long down the list.

[NormsRevenge]

Never fall in love with a politician. :-)

[Bullish]

I guess Cheny’s not immune to Obama’s blackmail, huh?

[IbJensen]

He has always been a CFR weasel, but only admitted it to his constituents when he no longer represented the district in Wyoming.

We should be sick to the point of puking our guts out over those Republicrats we thought were Conservatives.

If the Tea Party isn’t going to take the lead in defeating this monstrous evil government then it’s got to be the OATH TAKERS!

[Dalberg-Acton]

This link should dispel any lingering doubts about Cheney's true loyalties. He's a CFR man first:

Remarks by the Vice President to the Council on Foreign Relations

THE VICE PRESIDENT: Thank you. Thank you very much. Well, Les and Pete, I want to thank you all for the warm welcome today. I see a lot of old friends in the room. And it's good to be back at the Council on Foreign Relations. As Pete mentioned, I have been a member for a long time, and was actually Director for some period of time. I never mentioned that when I was campaigning for reelection back home in Wyoming -- (laughter)

Cheney is dead wrong. The NSA program is here NOW...and we still didn't stop the Boston Bombing, despite MASSIVE prior intelligence on the terrorists. And we still didn't stop the Ft. Hood massacre despite well-known connections of Nidal Hasan to Anwar al-Awlaki.

Clinton's team knew at least 8 times where Bid Laden was and failed to kill him.

Did Karl Rove and Grover Norquist - who were working with the Muslim Brotherhood in 2000-2001 influence Bush officials to take their foot off the gas pedal in pursuing radical Muslims? (Norquist pushed Bush to support the dropping of so-called "secret evidence" used against Muslims - the top objective of CAIR).

"Data" means nothing when you have decision makers who are either incompetent (Clinton officials), corrupted by Wahhabists (Bush officials), or both (Obama).

What do you expect from the guy who cancelled the F-14 Tomcat.

[MinuteGal]

Wife Lynne and daughter Liz better take the old guy in hand. Read him the riot act....and get him interested in gardening or something at home like writing his memoirs.....and for sure keep him on a leash when he gets the urge to pontificate on TV or anywhere else.

Why do so many pols retire in honor and glory....and then they can't resist putting foot in mouth every chance they get....and poof!.....there goes that hard-earned legacy.

It's WHAT the NSA is going to DO with ALL that INFO that is STORED...FOREVER!! EVERY Republican who is EVER going to RUn for Office will have EVERYTHING and I mean EVERYTHING Known about him and whatever little thing there is will be EXPOSED and POUNCED on by the left.

Getting ALL this INFO is only the BEGINNING.....just WATCH how it's USED AGAINST the RIGHT!!

[captmar-vell]

cheney is being a tool for the fly-infested one,

i wonder why? no way the chicago thug machine would ever watch cheneys back, or run interference,

[lewislynn]

He defended the NSA Surveillance Program by saying he started it in 2004.

Put another way:
He defended the NSA Surveillance Program by saying because he started it in 2004.

Anyway since his uncalled for comments about Sara Palin he's dead to me now. It's too bad too, I used to really respect him. It just goes to show you, you have to be careful to whom you swear your allegiance.

[SeminoleCounty]

A lot of GOP are Big Government Liberals......so many are quick to attack Snowden....and not Obama....the one who ordered the spying

Snowden or Obama.....

[RS_Rider]

He’s always been a creep.
