Obama goes first in a few minutes. He's speaking at the rotunda of the National Archives (you think we could get Nicholas Cage on that birth certificate thingey?) on his Gitmo policy and other man-caused calamities.
Vice President Cheney gets the rebuttal time. He's speaking at the American Enterprise Institute around 10:45 a.m. EDT.
TOPICS: Foreign Affairs; News/Current Events; War on Terror

While Obama defends the rights of terrorists, former Vice President Cheney reminds us,
NEVER FORGET!

VP Cheney is forcing those who chose to forget what happened on Sept.11, 2001 to remember that day , and why we are at war with those who will stop at nothing to attack us.

re: Cheney
‘Fortified somewhere down below’... LOL Biden already gave one away.
Now CSPANs screwing up the audio... now it’s dead.
I loathe them.

Good distinction that Mr. Cheney is making now.
We can look at the 9-11 event as a continuing threat or as a single one-of-a kind event.

In scathing attack on Bush administration, Obama pushes to close Guantanamo detainee facility, transfer some terror suspects to U.S. supermax prisons What's going to happen when terrorists take the entire elementary school nearest to the SuperMax hostage?
To: kabar
How long is this 20 minute speech? I'm thinking it won't be long before he sarts making twelve hour speeches from the balcony of the Oval Office.

Sitting here HOPING and HOPING Cheney says “I will be happy to serve as President and will be running for election in 2012”.
There simply is no comparison between the BS artist HNIC and adult patriot Dick Cheney.

I believe zero made a serious mistake by speaking this morning and creating a referendum on national security.
The contrast between that little weenie and Dick Cheney is spectacular.

I will do everything to keep america safe BUT I WONT DO THAT>....
I dont get it.... I guess this nuance is above my paygrade
When you actually read what he says, it's not very nuanced. Here's a couple of examples:
........."There is also no question that Guantanamo set back the moral authority that is Americas strongest currency in the world.".........
...."Indeed, the existence of Guantanamo likely created more terrorists around the world than it ever detained. "............
