Exactly. They are guaranteeing that there will be another terrorist attack
The majority of Americans are going to be outraged.
Since the Constitution gives the VP no real power, any action Cheney took was by means of authority delegated to him by the President, and GWB is therefore ultimately responsible.
I'm unclear why the Left is so focused on Cheney. Perhaps it's because even Obama can see the potential negatives for himself of setting the precedent of going after an ex-president. But it's not going to work. Whatever Cheney did, he did only at the direction of and using delegated authority from Bush.
Get freedom
Get democracy
Get whitey
Get allies
There is no end to the determination to dismantle America and remake it into O’s image.
“Men sleep peacefully in their beds at night because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.”
This can be applied to both foreign and domestic enemies. What the colonists did to the American Tory leadership and its sympathizers during and after our Revolutionary War is not light reading.
Cheney is and always has been more vocal in his opposition to the left. Bush rarely responded to their attacks and indeed now has disappeared from view altogether.
For that reason, I think the leftists were more afraid of Cheney, because they knew that they couldn’t rely on his being a “nice guy” like Bush to let them off the hook. That was why, even during Bush’s term in office, they directed their attacks at Cheney, trying to discredit him, and now they feel that he’s vulnerable because he’s not in office - and Bush is still remaining silent.

Sadly, Cheney would have made a much better president than Bush.
Maybe THAT'S why he's going after Cheney...
As I have consistently maintained, zero, Holder and the rest of the immature, inexperienced children running the current administration are the very reason that Obama should become the “poster child” for what NOT to ever vote for, much less be allowed to run for president. The disaster currently unfolding before our eyes needs to be a permanent lesson to us to NEVER let an amateur with no real accomplishments to his name bECome president.
“those CIA interrogators, with their rough methods, got vital intelligence that saved American lives”
What has the Obama administration to do with “American lives”?
The primary function of our government is to protect the citizenry against foreign and domestic threats to their peaceful existence. This clearly was not happening during Clinton's tour and up to and including 9-11. Bush did what needed to be done and changed that.
“This vendetta will not.”...succeed.
I hope Buchanan is correct but by eliminating the CIA’s interrogation division; Obama has basically eliminated the CIA’s purpose.
bttt
Pat, do you even need to ask?
In the 1960s, Robert Kennedy and the boys at Justice set up a "Get Hoffa Squad" to take down Teamsters boss Jimmy Hoffa. It was a vendetta that succeeded. This vendetta will not. For, on the issue of national security, as Barack will painfully discover, he is not more trusted than Dick Cheney or the rough men at the CIA who did the harsh interrogations of terrorists, to keep us sleeping peacefully at night.from Pitchfork Pat.
