Cheney’s Super Secret Plan: Kill or Capture the Enemy?
Commentary Magazine ^ | 07/13/09 | Jonathan Tobin

Posted on 07/13/2009 7:17:59 AM PDT by Jbny

On Sunday, the New York Times struck another blow against the Bush administration’s counter-terrorism measures with a front-page story alleging that a CIA program was kept secret from Congress for eight years.

Yep, pretty dastardly of the VP wanting to kill our enemies that are at war with us. I am sure we all feel safer knowing that current Commisar Paneta has ended this program. / sarcasm on heavy!

“Kill or capture the enemy”?

Sounds good to me. What a novel concept. To the wussy Dims of course.

“There is no subsitute for victory”.

Kill em all, Allah can sort em out.

We need to dig up Roosevelt and Truman, and prosecute them.

They had a plan to kill Hitler. Outrageous!

Not to worry, Paneta's family are quite capable of taking care of business the government deigns to involve itself in.

At the moment you have Pelosi challenging Paneta's feudal rights and precedence in a dispute no one outside the crowd of Siciliano Protectores understand.

The fact the Chicago families own the rest of the government probably ought to be of some concern to everyone.

WFB used to note that "so and so" (forgot his name) said that someday we'd wake up and the Mob would have taken over the government ~

Under Obama, only our capitalist allies will be killed.

Kill or Capture the Enemy?

My, my. How un-PC. It sounds like the George Patton rant about you don't win wars by dying for your country. You win wars by making the other s.o.b. die for his.

Which major city are we going to have to lose to Islamofacist terrorism before the sheeple wake up?

The only thing that’s got me mildly puzzled is why the order to keep it from Congress came from Cheny. Shouldn’t it have come from the President himself?

“The CIA reports to the Executive. End of story.”

Exactly.
For 8 years we had adults in charge, that were concerned with our nation’s best interests.

Now we have college freshman in charge, who formed their thought patterns while sitting on hemp blankets at an outdoor reggae concert.
