White House press spokesman Robert Gibbs on Tuesday dismissed Cheney's argument about Guantanamo, saying the prison had not made America safer, referring to the damage it had wrought on the US image abroad.

Image abroad is more important than public safety. Elections have consequences.

Baghdad Bob Gibbs is a fat-ass clown and buffoon.

I’m glad Cheney is doing this. Gibbs is an obnoxious, pig-faced little creep.

I thank the Lord there are still a few in "power" who are willing to step up to the plate.

The rePUBE party have become nothing but defensive sniveling wussies (couldn't post the p word).

“referring to the damage it had wrought on the US image abroad.”

You can fertilize your garden with that.

How much better is our image now? The One doesn’t seem to be getting a lot of cooperation from anyone. Of course, there have been so many machinations in the first 100 days that who could trust him?

I always liked Cheney. I can’t help it. I am a sucker for him. I never believed the lies like some of my friends did.

I have wondered for a couple years why the White House had not let Cheney out to defend the administration. It is obvious now that Bush would not let him. What a shame. I have pretty much supported Bush through thick and thin, but their silence letting the media, Hollywood and Dems shape American public opinion sickens me.

Cheney would have been such a powerful and disciplined spokesperson from 2005-2008. I love his motivation to get out now and lay down a coherent defense.

It’s nice to see there is at least one republican with the balls to tell the truth. Wish there were more of our elected republican “representatives” that would step up to the plate and take on the socialists.
Cheney is a patriot and a great American.

“Cheney, who has emerged as a fierce defender of the last US administration ...”

No, Dick Cheney is a fierce defender of AMERICA.

Also, I am sorry to observe that I don’t believe Mr. Cheney is well, as evidenced by his breathing in these recent interviews.

It looks like someone has stepped forward to offer the GOP some leadership.
This is Cheney’s rightful role, and the reason there has been a leadership vacuum in the Republican Party is because of Cheney’s declining to take the torch and run for president, breaking tradition for sitting VPs.

Thinking like that will get you killed. History is full of examples.

To: Oldeconomybuyer; All

You know, with...

* Gitmo terrorists released in this country,

* Hamas terrorists brought here on our dime,

* Somalis ferrying back & forth to AQ training,

* islam taught in US public schools on our dime,

* the Flight 93 islam memorial,

* Hawaii’s ‘Islam Day’ of 9/11 on the ancient calendar,

* multiple moslems now under consideration/employed by 0bama et al in DC

and

* the dropping of using detection for nuclear devices at US ports,

you might begin to think 0bama, Pelosi, Reid, and the democrat party membership is actively seeking attacks by moslems and islamic extremists on US sovereign soil.

Next we’ll be hearing that DoD should release all kinds of photos and other things displaying unflattering images of Iraqi and other nations’ prisoners or something, which raise suicide bombings directed at US servicemen and women.

Or, maybe 0bama will throw thousands of US troops at Taliban strongholds in AfPak areas, without help of most allies.

Or, maybe 0bama/Soros will send US troops to areas known for using chemical weapons in the ME.

Or, maybe 0bama will refuse to permit USN/USMC/Spec Ops forces to attack pirates when moslems might be killed.

Gee, who’d think US government representatives or ‘leadership’ would actually do such things? After all, over 3000 US citizens and persons of other countries were killed on US soil in 2001, many of whom were literally disintegrated beyond recognition. The ‘leadership’ of the US would not vacate the primary function of government to defend its people, now, would it?
