I sure do miss Big Time...

Cheney needs to get a Facebook account and this will go VIRAL just like with Sarah and the death panels. It will drive the libtards crazy and O’s approval ratings will sink even faster.

Exactly what I’ve been waiting to hear since the announcement of the investigation. Cheney’s gonna save our sorry arses whether “we” want them saved or not.

Damned thing is, last Fall if you could have gotten in to the CIA or Pentagon employee parking lots, you’d have seen far more Obama than McCain bumper stickers. Similarly, more Kerry than Bush in ‘04.

The only saving grace in the relentless activities on behalf of this Administration to undermine the US may be a total backlash against the left whose political gain, to them, far outweighs our national security.

Must read.

This is one of the most masterfully crafted statements I’ve ever seen from a politician. It restates the facts, it builds a case, and then it relentlessly chomps a gaping hole into the Obama Administration.

Just awesome.

My beloved Bigtime. How I adore him.

And now I have a new tagline.

Text of VP Cheney's official statement:

The documents released Monday clearly demonstrate that the individuals subjected to Enhanced Interrogation Techniques provided the bulk of intelligence we gained about al Qaeda. This intelligence saved lives and prevented terrorist attacks. These detainees also, according to the documents, played a role in nearly every capture of al Qaeda members and associates since 2002. The activities of the CIA in carrying out the policies of the Bush Administration were directly responsible for defeating all efforts by al Qaeda to launch further mass casualty attacks against the United States. The people involved deserve our gratitude. They do not deserve to be the targets of political investigations or prosecutions. President Obama’s decision to allow the Justice Department to investigate and possibly prosecute CIA personnel, and his decision to remove authority for interrogation from the CIA to the White House, serves as a reminder, if any were needed, of why so many Americans have doubts about this Administration’s ability to be responsible for our nation’s security.

We miss you, Dick. I'm sure you'd rather be at home hunting and fishing, but America needs you and you're answering her call. God bless you and your wonderful family.

God Bless that man!

I said it before and I'll say it again: With Obama's complex psychodynamics, his NPD, childhood, et al, is he Inviting an Attack?

[SoldierDad]

I think someone (or many someone's) just received a beat-down (I'd use a different phrase, but I'd just be accused of being racist).

[Art in Idaho]

With Obama's complex psychodynamics, his NPD, childhood history, et al, + his appeasement/apology stance, is he Inviting an Attack?

Sick burn!

Say That Again,

LOUDER!!

[Typical_Whitey]

Scary....

We must now assume that....

1. We have in custody a terror suspect right now, that knows about the next attack on America but Obama and his cronies will not do everything possible to gather that information.

What possibly can he say to assuage the fears of Americans and to ease the pain for the familys of the victims of the next terror attack on America?

The true tradgedy is that When Islamic terrorists attack our country they kill indiscriminately instead of only targeting their liberal enablers.

Excellent. I admire the way Dick Cheney (and for that matter, his whole family including wife Lynne and daughter Liz) are clear in their focus, very plainly spoken, but very powerful in their words.

See what the wimps in the WH and the DOJ do with that now. If AG Holder pursues this at 0bama’s direction, it will be down a rabbit hole that will only push this administration further away from the American people and make all less safe. ... And should lead to big Republican wins in 2010 (from my keyboard to God’s ears).

[AFPhys]

Succinct and accurate.

Thank you, Vice President Cheney.

[kaizen]

Is this constitutional or legal? Any legal types out there with an opinion?

[Scotswife]

It’s always refreshing to read BS-free/get to the point language. Cheney is greatly missed.
