Sanity -> Cheney: "Obama should apologize" (10/4/2011 11:04:37 AM)
To some who think for themselves, Obamas assassination of American citizens purely by executive order is viewed as being on the same level as enhanced interrogation of high level terrorism suspects... quote: Cheney says Obama should apologize to Bush administration after al-Awlaki killing Former Vice President Dick Cheney says that following the killing of Anwar al-Awlaki, President Obama owes the George W. Bush administration an apology. Cheney, speaking on CNN's "State of the Union" Sunday, offered support for the targeted killing by drone strike last week of the Yemeni-American radical cleric al-Awlaki, but he said that Obama now needs to reverse his past criticism of how the Bush administration interrogated suspected terrorists. The Obama administration "in effect had said that we had walked away from our ideals or taken policy contrary to our ideals when we had enhanced interrogation techniques," the former vice president said. Al-Awlaki's death indicates that members of the Obama administration "clearly have moved in the direction of taking robust action when they feel it's justified," Cheney said. "You'd like an apology, it sounds like?" host Candy Crowley asked the former vice president. "Well I would," Cheney responded, "I think that would be a--not for me--but I think for the Bush administration."

We are still awaiting the admission of Bushes lying about WMD. Which exectutive order was that where he said execute american citizens. Yanno, executive orders are searchable... http://www.archives.gov/federal-register/executive-orders/obama-subjects.html Cheney's opinion is as valuable as used toilet paper.

I still think Cheney should apologize, but I am not going to hold my breath.

I wonder if the reason he's keeping Liz so close these days is because she got trusted all the now billions, of haliburton money he fucked the country out of and he's worried she'll skip town... she is a Cheney afterall.

quote: I still think Cheney should apologize, but I am not going to hold my breath. Ya gotta hand it to the guy... for a dude that went into the VP's office simply to act as guarantor that Dubyah wouldn't trainwreck or drink their investment in him, he sure gave us some colorful moments. Like in the SENATE HEARING where he in his official capacity as President Of The Senate Of The United States Of America he gave his most historic quotation, to wit "Why don't you go fuck yourself". Unanswered substantially with a censure, or vote of no confidence (which the Senate did out of mercy in a time of war), that is a moment that has lowered the bar forever in terms of Senate decorum. I Take Back my edit ... He DID say it in a hearing and to Pat Lahey here he is admitting it to Chris Wallace

Cheney has a nerve. Cheney should be at The Hague answering war crimes charges. Along with the rest of the war-warmongering cabal that organised the invasion of Iraq - Bush Blair Howard Wolfowitz Frieth etc ) They all owe the world an apology, as well as many years behind bars.

thats like a diddling priest asking for an apology from his victims because the church is protecting him

"Cheney said it, I believe it, that settles it!" Nice bumper sticker there. Congratulations. You have either a) proclaimed your atheism, or b) switched Gods from Yawheh to Cheney Considering the greater likelihood of the latter scenario, I somehow suspect the transition is not all too difficult there.

Switched? He's been quaffing that kool aid from the off, surely?

DarkSteven -> RE: Cheney: "Obama should apologize" (10/5/2011 4:45:27 AM)
Obama has few successes. As soon as he has one, Cheney jumps in to take full credit for it. Let Obama enjoy his successes, Mr. Cheney. It's not his fault that you had fewer yourself.

A. On December 9, 2001, CHENEY announced on NBC's Meet the Press that "it was pretty well confirmed" that lead 9/11 hijacker Mohamed Atta had met the head of Iraqi intelligence in Prague in April 2001, which statement was, as CHENEY well knew, made without reasonable basis and with reckless disregard for the truth, because it was based on a single witness's uncorroborated allegation that had not been fully investigated by U.S. intelligence agencies. C. On August 26, 2002, CHENEY made numerous false and fraudulent statements including: "Simply stated there is no doubt that Saddam Hussein now has weapons of mass destruction. There is no doubt that he is amassing them to use against our friends, against our allies, and against us," when, as CHENEY well knew, this statement was made without reasonable basis and with reckless indifference to the truth in that the IC's then prevailing assessment was that Iraq had neither nuclear weapons nor a reconstituted nuclear weapons program.

I am surprised that you of all people missed the point. I can understand these others blindly lashing out, theyre nonthinking trolls - but not you. Normally, you are very reasonable. Cheney isnt "taking credit" for one of Obamas few successes as you put it, he is being highly supportive of said action. Cheneys point, and the point of the OP is that Obama was highly critical earlier in his administration of such "robust action" against terrorists, and now that Obama has seen the light and is himself taking similar "robust action" Obama owes an apology for his previous remarks. quote: ORIGINAL: DarkSteven Obama has few successes.

Torturing people strapped to a table isn't 'robust action', it's a crime.

Sanity -> RE: Cheney: "Obama should apologize" (10/5/2011 7:36:12 AM)
But assassinating American citizens without even a hint of due process is just a blow job... quote: ORIGINAL: farglebargle Torturing people strapped to a table isn't 'robust action', it's a crime.

mnottertail -> RE: Cheney: "Obama should apologize" (10/5/2011 8:30:24 AM)
So you admit Bush should be charged with the assassination of American Citizens out of all this?

Moonhead -> RE: Cheney: "Obama should apologize" (10/5/2011 8:38:22 AM)
Of course he doesn't. Different rules apply to GOP Presidents than apply to the evil liberals who are out to turn America into a communist dystopia...

Oh, jeez, I misread him then---I didn't know this was another ignorant rushfelch. Ahhhhh, there---- I see it now.

I believe the hastily drafted and authorized PATRIOT Act specifically approved the kind of action recently taken. Section 411, G, vi, II of the PARIOT Act defines a terrorist as anyone "designated, upon publication in the Federal Register, by the Secretary of State in consultation with or upon the request of the Attorney General" Game over, man. Game over.

Your typical dishonesty. `(vi) TERRORIST ORGANIZATION DEFINED- As used in clause (i)(VI) and clause (iv), the term `terrorist organization' means an organization-- `(I) designated under section 219; `(II) otherwise designated, upon publication in the Federal Register, by the Secretary of State in consultation with or upon the request of the Attorney General, as a terrorist organization, after finding that the organization engages in the activities described in subclause (I), (II), or (III) of clause (iv), or that the organization provides material support to further terrorist activity; or (III) that is a group of two or more individuals, whether organized or not, which engages in the activities described in subclause (I), (II), or (III) of clause (iv).';
