SETTING UP THE NEXT STRIKE

One thing about former Vice President Dick Cheney: He'll never be mis taken for a wallflower.

With the eighth anniversary of 9/11 rapidly approaching, Cheney took to the airwaves Sunday to strip some hide off the Obama administration over its decision to target past CIA efforts to protect America from terrorism.

"It's an outrageous political act that will do great damage, long term, to our capacity to be able to have people take on difficult jobs [and] make difficult decisions," he charged on Fox News Sunday.

Unlike the trumped up claims of wrongdoing by Republicans, DemonRATs swim in a cesspool of corruption.

Several years back, there was that bumper sticker referring to Cheney’s accidental shooting of his friend while bobwhite quail hunting in Texas: “I’d rahter hunt with Dick than ride with Teddy.” More apt now that Teddy is on his way to meet his Maker.

GOD BLESS DICK CHANEY!

Let the truth come forward and American learn who the real leaders are vs the Manchurian phoneys in the Whitehouse.
