The wing nuts are completely out of touch. Cheney is doing what he has to do because he and George so messed up our chances for a successful conclusion to several phases of the war against terrorism, and the WH is kicking his butt, legitimately.
Cheney is more interested in criticizing our President than fighting the terrorists. For that I think it is time people considered him a traitor to the American value of standing solidly behind the president's efforts to keep us safe. The four time draft dodger Cheney didn't serve the nation now does even more disservice to the country.
Amazing that a draft dodger is listened to at all.
Um, excuse me, but it isn't Cheneys job, nor does he have the power to fight the terrorists. He does have the power to defend himself and to point out that the current administration has screwed up. maybe, just maybe it will get them out of the stupidity mode and get them moving against terrorism.
Now, please prove that he ever was a draft dodger. I get so tired of hearing this from people who probably voted for Clinton. An admitted draft dodger.

Cheney did fight the terrorists, and helped keep the US safe for 7 years.
Obama has been fucking it up, to give terrorists "rights" and make the delusional lefties happy and making our country unsafe in the process.

CNN Political Ticker: All politics, all the time Blog Archive - White House forcefully responds to Cheney « - Blogs from CNN.com
"There are numerous public statements that explicitly state we are at war," writes Pfeifer. "The difference is this: President Obama doesn't need to beat his chest to prove it, and unlike the last Administration we are not at war with a tactic ("terrorism"), we at war with something that is tangible: al Qaeda and its violent extremist allies. And we will prosecute that war as long as the American people are endangered."
Can this guy just go away? I heard there was going to be a remake of the Addams Family. Maybe Uncle Fester can get a part in the movie? That would keep him busy for a while!
It's a heck of a lot easier to respond to an ex-vice president than to the terrorists, isn't it? They are still losing the debate with Cheney....that's the funny part of this.
While they still play the blame game.....and it's really getting to be a worn out game with the American people. Cheney has every reason to respond to this finger pointing administration. No one knows how to just man up, Arnie would call the bunch of them "girly men", and the shoe fits.
Ya nailed this one, Meister. Good job and perfect choice of words.

Terrorists are actual people.
Terrorists are people who engage in the tactic of terrorism.
Guerillas are people who engage in the tactic of Guerilla warfare.
Insurgents are people who engage in the tactic of insurgency.
Missionaries are people who engage in the tactic of religious conversion.
and so on and so on.
From the OP link
"He seems to think if he gives terrorists the rights of Americans, lets them lawyer up and reads them their Miranda rights, we won't be at war," Cheney said in the statement. "He seems to think if we bring the mastermind of 9/11 to New York, give him a lawyer and trial in civilian court, we won't be at war. He seems to think if he closes Guantanamo and releases the hard-core al Qaeda-trained terrorists still there, we won't be at war."
Cheney is spot on.
It's nice to get the odd reminder of why Cheney was suck a fuckwit........

The whole damn lot of them were draft dodgers loosely speaking. They used whatever means they could to get out of active duty. It's funny to watch each side pointing fingers.

No country is 'safe'...including the US...that was long before Obama came into the picture...

"Tactic" merely means procedure, a particular way of doing a particular operation.

Is this partisan blather or did you just crawl out of a cave? Google 'Cheney draft dodger' if the latter is the case.

Obama is far too thin-skinned. He doesn't realize that responding to these outbursts merely gives credibility to the outburst.
He should ignore the Cheneys of the world completely. Obama is the President now, not just some Senator running for the job.

Terrorism is not just a tactic for terrorists, it's a strategy.
It's also who they are.
Change tactic to strategy and you are getting closer.
It's like saying doctors are those who engage in the tactic of medicine.
Dentists are those who engage in the tactic of fixing teeth.
Doctors and dentists are also specific groups of people.

The Washington Monthly
It was only a matter of time before Dick Cheney decided to trash the president again.
"As I've watched the events of the last few days it is clear once again that President Obama is trying to pretend we are not at war. He seems to think if he has a low key response to an attempt to blow up an airliner and kill hundreds of people, we won't be at war."
Let's review a few pesky details. First, it was Cheney's administration that released some of the alleged terrorists who plotted the attack into an "art therapy rehabilitation program" in Saudi Arabia, only to see them become terrorist leaders in Yemen. It was also Cheney's administration that gave Abdulmutallab a visa to enter the United States in the first place.
Second, let's compare some "low-key responses." President Obama addressed a failed terrorist attack three days after it occurred. Eight years ago, when a terrorist tried to blow up an airplane under nearly identical circumstances, then-President Bush waited six days before making brief, cursory public remarks. Five days after the attempted terrorist attack, then-Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld refused substantive comment altogether, telling reporters, "That's a matter that's in the hands of the law enforcement people." A White House spokesperson would only say at the time that officials were "continuing to monitor events."
Democrats, at the time, didn't launch an assault against the Bush administration, and we didn't see Al Gore condemning the White House. It simply didn't occur to Democrats in 2001 to use the attempted mass murder of hundreds of Americans to undermine the presidency.
Eight years later, Dick Cheney believes his principal responsibility is to destroy President Obama -- the man Americans chose to clean up the messes Cheney left as a parting gift after eight years of abject failure.

Anatomy of a Failed Presidency!
The following is an interesting article and I wonder how long Dr. Hunt can remain at NIH once the powers that be get wind of this article.
Dr. Hunt is a social and cultural anthropologist. He has had nearly 30 years experience in planning, conducting, and managing research in the field of youth studies, and drug and alcohol research. Currently Dr. Hunt is a Senior Research Scientist at the Institute for Scientific Analysis and the Principal Investigator on three National Institutes on Health projects. He is also a writer for American Thinker.
Barack Obama is on track to have the most spectacularly failed presidency since Woodrow Wilson. In the modern era, we've seen several failed presidencies--led by Jimmy Carter and LBJ. Failed presidents have one strong common trait-- they are repudiated, in the vernacular, spat out.
Of course, LBJ wisely took the exit ramp early, avoiding a shove into oncoming traffic by his own party. Richard Nixon indeed resigned in disgrace, yet his reputation as a statesman has been partially restored by his triumphant overture to China
But, Barack Obama is failing. Failing big. Failing fast. And failing everywhere: foreign policy, domestic initiatives, and most importantly, in forging connections with the American people. The incomparable Dorothy Rabinowitz in the Wall Street Journal put her finger on it: He is failing because he has no understanding of the American people, and may indeed loathe them. Fred Barnes of the Weekly Standard says he is failing because he has lost control of his message, and is overexposed. Clarice Feldman of American Thinker produced a dispositive commentary showing that Obama is failing because fundamentally he is neither smart nor articulate; his intellectual dishonesty is conspicuous by its audacity and lack of shame.
But, there is something more seriously wrong: How could a new president riding in on a wave of precedented promise and goodwill have forfeited his tenure and become a lame duck in six months? His poll ratings are in free fall. In generic balloting, the Republicans have now seized a five point advantage. This truly is unbelievable. What's going on?
No narrative. Obama doesn't have a narrative. No, not a narrative about himself. He has a self-narrative, much of it fabricated, cleverly disguised or written by someone else. But this self-narrative is isolated and doesn't connect with us. He doesn't have an American narrative that draws upon the rest of us. All successful presidents have a narrative about the American character that intersects with their own where they display a command of history and reveal an authenticity at the core of their personality that resonates in a positive endearing way with the majority of Americans. We admire those presidents whose narratives not only touch our own, but who seem stronger, wiser, and smarter than we are. Presidents we admire are aspirational peers, even those whose politics don't align exactly with our own: Teddy Roosevelt, FDR, Harry Truman, Ike, and Reagan.
But not this president. It's not so much that he's a phony, knows nothing about economics, and is historically illiterate and woefully small minded for the size of the task--all contributory of course. It's that he's not one of us. And whatever he is, his profile is fuzzy and devoid of content, like a cardboard cutout made from delaminated corrugated paper.
Moreover, he doesn't command our respect and is unable to appeal to our own common sense. His notions of right and wrong are repugnant and how things work just don't add up. They are not existential. His descriptions of the world we live in don't make sense and don't correspond with our experience.
In the meantime, while we've been struggling to take a measurement of this man, he's dissed just about every one of us--financiers, energy producers, banks, insurance executives, police officers, doctors, nurses, hospital administrators, post office workers, and anybody else who has a non-green job. Expect Obama to lament at his last press conference in 2012:
"For those of you I offended, I apologize. For those of you who were not offended, you just didn't give me enough time; if only I'd had a second term, I could have offended you too."
Mercifully, the Founders at the Constitutional Convention in 1787 devised a useful remedy for such a desperate state--staggered terms for both houses of the legislature and the executive. An equally abominable Congress can get voted out next year. With a new Congress, there's always hope of legislative gridlock until we vote for president again two short years after that.
Yes, small presidents do fail, Barack Obama among them. The coyotes howl but the wagon train keeps rolling along.

"A Liberal is a person who will give away everything he doesn't own." - Unknown
