WH responds to Cheney

[Truthmatters]

wow , the greastest president in history?

I hope you are only eight years old

 

[JakeStarkey]

Bush will be remembered for the greatest foreign policy gaffe in American history, Ollie: that is his legacy forever.

Pres. Bush Jr is the greatest president in my lifetime.

He is the first one that had the balls to take the fight to the terrorists. No other president has done that.

What a bozo statement, completely unprovable, because it is lie. Bush was terrible. The Nobel Peace Prize for Obama this year was the world's public rejection of Bush and his policies. And the majority of Americans certainly agree with that sentiment.

Attacking Iraq for 9-11 makes as much sense as attacking China for Pearl Harbor

That the Europen socialists and haters of america gave obama the nobel peace prize simply because he is a socialist/communist who has continuously apologized for america is the biggest condemnation of him I can think of.

Why do Republicans pretend to be somehow responsible against terrorism?A little tip' it was Bush and Cheney .who were on the .watch at 911.Stop lying about it' history wont change that fact . One of the worst e days in America ever! and it was with Republicans trying to take credit for it?

It was Bush that stopped preparing for the next attack and went after them, Proactive vs reactive. And this is what Bush will be remembered for.

And nearly the entire country including me backed him in Afganistan.

I put on hold my anger that he STOLE the election and backed him for my countrys sake.

He then turned and walked away from the REAL war and LIED to the American people so he could go into Iraq for a profit.

He will be remembered for LYING us into war and abandoning the real fight.

The funny thing is that the democraps at that time didn't even want to go into Afghanistan.

And now it has become the "real fight".

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.

I don't think you're being fair to Cheney. I think we should give him all of the credit he has coming. The big chicken received 5 deferments, not 4.

WASHINGTON, April 30 — It was 1959 when Dick Cheney, then a student at Yale University, turned 18 and became eligible for the draft.

Eventually, like 16 million other young men of that era, Mr. Cheney sought deferments. By the time he turned 26 in January 1967 and was no longer eligible for the draft, he had asked for and received five deferments, four because he was a student and one for being a new father.

Cheney's Five Draft Deferments During the Vietnam Era Emerge as a Campaign Issue - NYTimes.com

So just like 16 million others....So he didn't break the law and dodge the draft he operated within the law. Don't we just love the whole truth?

Cheney was no different than any other college aged kid in the 60s. If he could get out of the draft, he did. There is nothing wrong with that.
What is wrong is is subsequent chicken-hawk stance and his attacks on those who did serve

If you want to continue posting as a legitimate poster you need to back up your statements better. Show me where Democrats did not support the invasion of Afghanistan. A simple Google will save you a lot of grief.
Repeatedly posting does not prove your point. A little research will

"In the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological weapons stock, his missile delivery capability, and his nuclear program. He has also given aid, comfort, and sanctuary to terrorists, including Al Qaeda members, though there is apparently no evidence of his involvement in the terrible events of September 11, 2001. It is clear, however, that if left unchecked, Saddam Hussein will continue to increase his capacity to wage biological and chemical warfare, and will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons. Should he succeed in that endeavor, he could alter the political and security landscape of the Middle East, which as we know all too well affects American security." -- Hillary Clinton, October 10, 2002

"The community of nations may see more and more of the very kind of threat Iraq poses now: a rogue state with weapons of mass destruction, ready to use them or provide them to terrorists. If we fail to respond today, Saddam and all those who would follow in his footsteps will be emboldened tomorrow." -- Bill Clinton in 1998

"Saddam Hussein's regime represents a grave threat to America and our allies, including our vital ally, Israel. For more than two decades, Saddam Hussein has sought weapons of mass destruction through every available means. We know that he has chemical and biological weapons. He has already used them against his neighbors and his own people, and is trying to build more. We know that he is doing everything he can to build nuclear weapons, and we know that each day he gets closer to achieving that goal." -- John Edwards, Oct 10, 2002

"I will be voting to give the president of the United States the authority to use force - if necessary - to disarm Saddam Hussein because I believe that a deadly arsenal of weapons of mass destruction in his hands is a real and grave threat to our security." -- John F. Kerry, Oct 2002

"Iraq does pose a serious threat to the stability of the Persian Gulf and we should organize an international coalition to eliminate his access to weapons of mass destruction. Iraq's search for weapons of mass destruction has proven impossible to completely deter and we should assume that it will continue for as long as Saddam is in power." -- Al Gore, 2002

That is a like, moronmike, and you wonder why the great majority of Americans laugh at rush and folks like you?

Then it's good that they showed up in front of american forces in Iraq so that they can be killed.

Gotta love liberal "logic".

"If Saddam rejects peace and we have to use force, our purpose is clear. We want to seriously diminish the threat posed by Iraq's weapons of mass destruction program." --President Bill Clinton, Feb. 17, 1998

"Iraq is a long way from [here], but what happens there matters a great deal here. For the risks that the leaders of a rogue state will use nuclear, chemical or biological weapons against us or our allies is the greatest security threat we face." --Madeline Albright, Feb 18, 1998

"He will use those weapons of mass destruction again, as he has ten times since 1983." --Sandy Berger, Clinton National Security Adviser, Feb, 18, 1998

"[W]e urge you, after consulting with Congress, and consistent with the U.S. Constitution and laws, to take necessary actions (including, if appropriate, air and missile strikes on suspect Iraqi sites) to respond effectively to the threat posed by Iraq's refusal to end its weapons of mass destruction programs." Letter to President Clinton, signed by: -- Democratic Senators Carl Levin, Tom Daschle, John Kerry, and others, Oct. 9, 1998

"Saddam Hussein has been engaged in the development of weapons of mass destruction technology which is a threat to countries in the region and he has made a mockery of the weapons inspection process." -Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D, CA), Dec. 16, 1998

"Hussein has ... chosen to spend his money on building weapons of mass destruction and palaces for his cronies." -- Madeline Albright, Clinton Secretary of State, Nov. 10, 1999

"There is no doubt that ... Saddam Hussein has reinvigorated his weapons programs. Reports indicate that biological, chemical and nuclear programs continue apace and may be back to pre-Gulf War status. In addition, Saddam continues to redefine delivery systems and is doubtless using the cover of a licit missile program to develop longer-range missiles that will threaten the United States and our allies." Letter to President Bush, Signed by: -- Sen. Bob Graham (D, FL), and others, Dec 5, 2001

"We begin with the common belief that Saddam Hussein is a tyrant and a threat to the peace and stability of the region. He has ignored the mandate of the United Nations and is building weapons of mass destruction and th! e means of delivering them." -- Sen. Carl Levin (D, MI), Sept. 19, 2002

"We know that he has stored secret supplies of biological and chemical weapons throughout his country." -- Al Gore, Sept. 23, 2002

"Iraq's search for weapons of mass destruction has proven impossible to deter and we should assume that it will continue for as long as Saddam is in power." -- Al Gore, Sept. 23, 2002

"We have known for many years that Saddam Hussein is seeking and developing weapons of mass destruction." -- Sen. Ted Kennedy (D, MA), Sept. 27, 2002

"The last UN weapons inspectors left Iraq in October of 1998. We are confident that Saddam Hussein retains some stockpiles of chemical and biological weapons, and that he has since embarked on a crash course to build up his chemical and biological warfare capabilities. Intelligence reports indicate that he is seeking nuclear weapons..." -- Sen. Robert Byrd (D, WV), Oct. 3, 2002

"I will be voting to give the President of the United States the authority to use force -- if necessary -- to disarm Saddam Hussein because I believe that a deadly arsenal of weapons of mass destruction in his hands is a real and grave threat to our security." -- Sen. John F. Kerry (D, MA), Oct. 9, 2002

"There is unmistakable evidence that Saddam Hussein is working aggressively to develop nuclear weapons and will likely have nuclear weapons within the next five years ... We also should remember we have always underestimated the progress Saddam has made in development of weapons of mass destruction." -- Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D, WV), Oct 10, 2002

"He has systematically violated, over the course of the past 11 years, every significant UN resolution that has demanded that he disarm and destroy his chemical and biological weapons, and any nuclear capacity. This he has refused to do" -- Rep. Henry Waxman (D, CA), Oct. 10, 2002

"In the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological weapons stock, his missile delivery capability, and his nuclear program. He has also given aid, comfort, and sanctuary to terrorists, including al Qaeda members ... It is clear, however, that if left unchecked, Saddam Hussein will continue to increase his capacity to wage biological and chemical warfare, and will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons." -- Sen. Hillary Clinton (D, NY), Oct 10, 2002

"We are in possession of what I think to be compelling evidence that Saddam Hussein has, and has had for a number of years, a developing capacity for the production and storage of weapons of mass destruction." -- Sen. Bob Graham (D, FL), Dec. 8, 2002

"Without question, we need to disarm Saddam Hussein. He is a brutal, murderous dictator, leading an oppressive regime ... He presents a particularly grievous threat because he is so consistently prone to miscalculation ... And now he is miscalculating America's response to his continued deceit and his consistent grasp for weapons of mass destruction ... So the threat of Saddam Hussein with weapons of mass destruction is real..." -- Sen. John F. Kerry (D, MA), Jan. 23. 2003

mike, you have no logic. Follow, please (and I typing slowly for you so that you can read and hopefully get it). Before the invasion, no AQ in Iraq, which contadicts your silly argument above. After the invasion, AQ comes to Iraq to kill Americans because of failed neo-con policies. mike, please pay attention.

 

[JakeStarkey]

snipped nonsense that has nothing to do with the issue

Thus nothing to reply to.

Assuming your facts are correct, which I don't, then it's a great thing that the american forces were there and that the al qaida leadership were standing in front of american bullets in Iraq.

 

[CMike]

It's really pretty simple.

The front in the war with terrorists groups/Al Qaida can be in Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen, or it can be in NYC, Detroit, LA, and Miami.

I would rather the fronts not be in the US.

 

[JakeStarkey]

None of your comments make sense. We kill AQ leadership, and new leaders step in. And you are dead wrong about AQ being in Iraq or, inferentially, allied with SH. That is a neo-con lie, completely unprovable.

 

[CMike]

Those "snippets" are your whole democrat leadership saying categorically that Hussein had WMD, that he would use them, and that he needed to be stopped.

I think that's rather relevant to the issue.
