Cheney Unplugged

This I will enjoy. Not the terror that Obama is ushering in, which is the main thrust of Cheney’s Politico interview. I’m reverting to my old liberal habit of denial for at least a few more days on that one. I mean, I already know that our enemies are circling, smelling fresh meat, licking their lips, watching Obama castrate our defenses while tying America’s hands behind her back, as if preparing to offer us up for rape. My stomach needs to settle a bit more before I contemplate the latest maneuvers by Russia, N Korea, Venezuela, Cuba, Iran, and China, et al, all vying for the most advantageous position from which to violate us.

Cheney Measures Obama

No, the part of the interview that I am focusing on is the part where Cheney is described as “willing and even eager to spar with the new administration and its supporters over the issues he cares most about.” The vision of Cheney unleashed on the House of Marxists is wonderful to contemplate. I.can.not.wait.

The interview, less than two weeks after the Bush administration ceded power to Obama, found the man who is arguably the most controversial — and almost surely the most influential — vice president in U.S. history in a self-vindicating mood.

He expressed confidence that files will some day be publicly accessible offering specific evidence that waterboarding and other policies he promoted — over sharp internal dissent from colleagues and harsh public criticism — were directly responsible for averting new Sept. 11-style attacks.

Not content to wait for a historical verdict, Cheney said he is set to plunge into his own memoirs, feeling liberated to describe behind-the-scenes roles over several decades in government now that the “statute of limitations has expired” on many of the most sensitive episodes.

His comments made unmistakable that Cheney — likely more than former President Bush, who has not yet given post-White House interviews — is willing and even eager to spar with the new administration and its supporters over the issues he cares most about.

    Wouldn’t it be great to see Cheney as Pres now? A real feisty down to earth American, the quiet power behind the throne, good to see he isn’t going to go quietly into the background. Imagine if there had been a Cheney/Palin ticket. [Or maybe not, might have beens can be a bit depressing.]
    It’s more appropriate as former Pres for Bush to do that, Carter and Clinton please take note. Besides, whatever complaints there might be about Bush, he got the big thing right, in a hundred years time when the US has recovered from the economic woes which can be laid at the Dems door more than Bush’s, when we hope that democracy has taken root in the currently medieval dysfunctional Arab world, he will be seen as being in the line of Washington, Lincoln, T Roosevelt, Truman and Reagan. Note only one Dem in that line. He’s earned his retirement and I’m sure he’s happy to be outta there after eight long years.
    I would love to meet him and get to know him. There’s a test you can apply to Presidents, which could you say that about? T.R., Reagan, maybe Ike, no one else in the last hundred years. Kennedy, Carter, Clinton? The very thought makes me want to throw up.

    So go get ‘em, Cheney!

    Hey, I’d like to meet him too.

    Kyrgyzstan: Something US should have considered before threatening Black Sea/Kavkaz War with Russia

    How did it come to this?

    1. Clinton & Blair ally the US & UK with jihadis and terrorists in Bosnia against Christian Serbs.

    2. Clinton & Blair ally the US & UK with jihadis in Kosovo and terrorists against Christian Serbs.

    3. Bush & Blair turn a mission against al-Qaeda and the Taliban into Afghan “nation-building” [and a mission against Hussein into Iraqi "nation-building"].

    4. Bush appoints a citizen of Afghanistan to represent the US at the UN.

    5. Bush & Blair push for creation of Muslim Gangster State of Kosovo on Serb territory. [BTW, wasn't the UK increasingly turning into a Muslim toilet all this time? Why, yes it was! Blair sees himself as a cross between Jesus of Nazareth, Saladin and Lawrence of Arabia (... Churchill ... FDR ... Mohammad ... Ghandi ... Truman ... Charlemagne ... Kennedy —I know, it’s crazy, the man is demented). He wants a One World Government. He’s done his bit to destroy British culture and nationalities. He’s sold out the country he was elected to lead; sold it out to Brussels, Franco-Germania, Islam. Delusions of grandeur for a pip-squeak who will go down in history as worse than Ethelred the Unready or John Lackland.]

    6. Russia warns of precedent for Ossetia and Abkhazia. US & UK laugh.

    7. Georgia (with military support from the US & UK) attacks peacekeepers in Ossetia. Russia counter-attacks. US & UK threaten Russia.

    8. Russia gets closer to Venezuela, Iran and China, develops 10,000 man special forces based out of Manas. Lends Kyrgz a paltry 2 billion to kick out the US, shutting down the most important US supply route to Afghanistan just when Obama says he’ll double troops.

    Well, I’m not sure what this has to do with sicking Cheney on the Obamabots, unless you are saying that the disastrous scenario you outline in your comment has his signature on it, along with Bush.

    What I would really love to hear is your analysis of is what of Soros do you detect in Obama’s first few weeks in office, his cabinet choices, etc. And why do you think Soros is so intent on legalizing pot, and if you think his role propping up the opium trade in Afghanistan is related to Obama’s interest in the country.
