If only that were possible, Juan.
Jim Baker= Velvet Hammer
VP Dick Cheney= Ball-peen Hammer
In spite of their sarcastic comments, it’s obvious even Salon respects Dick Cheney. Most intelligence they have ever exhibited in an article.
That’s Big Dick Cheney to you, little Juan.
Where did this guy get his brain? I am speechless at this guys ignorance..
His dislike apparently blinds him to another possibility: that the reason why "Cheney's principles still inform many of the country's most crucial policies," is because they're not only correct, but also useful and practical.
Juan is speaking from a worldview where "wishes are fishes." He wishes that everybody in the world would play nice, and therefore he apparently believes that everybody in the world is inclined to play nice.
Mr. Cheney, on the other hand, operates from the assumption that there are bad guys who want to hurt us. Admittedly, such an assumption could sometimes be wrong -- but that assumption is usually not entirely wrong, and is certainly not wrong where Islamic terrorism is concerned.
No he's not..
He defending waterboarding, that's not torture.
We LUV Cheney. He’s a man who speaks his mind. Guess the opposition doesn’t like that. Only wish Cheney had spoken up before but...am sure Dubya put the skids to that or he would have. Dubya just sat there and let them attack him at every opportunity without batting an eyelash. That’s NOT how you win battles.
‘Like the creatures in the “Alien” films, Cheney has planted some vicious spores ... ‘
This has got to be the winner of some kind of Ridiculous Anti-Republican Metaphor award. Oh, let’s call it the RARMY award. Old Juan from Salon is definitely RARMY number 1 this week.
The author has absolutely no understanding of risk assessment.
It's the likelihood of the event as compared to the impact of the event. If a highly likely act by a terrorist group is known, but it is of low impact and barely dangerous, then it's something to stop, but there's nothing to panic about.
If it's not terribly likely, but the impact is of catastrophic proportions, then you get very, very worried. A spray can of VX at a Rose Bowl; a suitcase nuke exploded in NYC. These have a low probability, but if they get successfully implemented, then thousands upon thousands will die.
VP Cheney is an American first. God Bless him.
The hidden hand of Dick Cheney is apparently giving the Left a none-too-gentle shocker.
I’m loving the liberals’ sheer terror of this man!
He will nail them with the truth! That is if the powers to be actually allow the truth to be told!
I have no faith in the Republicans to do the right thing. Who then but someone who actually has the balls to tell the truth. “The truth will set you free!”
The Left knows Dick Cheney is telling the truth and that he has the best interests of our country at heart.
They are just hoping against hope that they can prevent the American people from hearing what he has to say.
At the least, they want to scream loudly enough to distract and divert attention from what Dick Cheney says to what they have to say about what he says.
God bless VP Cheney, and God bless our country.
Geez, a conservative Republican with stones who actually “speaks truth to power”! Somebody check the Hades weather forecast!
