This guy just doesn't know when to let go->Cheney: "We Weren't In Torture Business" - GoFuckYourself.com

Azoy? · 05-10-2009, 12:14 PM

This guy can't seem to let it go and goes on talk shows like he's got guilty feelings that are overhanging on him and doesn't know to make up for them.
Even his format boss stands quite but he keeps going like as if he's going to run for president.
This was on the CBS news web site.

Objecting to the Obama administration's refusal to use waterboarding and other interrogation procedures put into place by the Bush administration, former vice president Dick Cheney said that the U.S. should be "prepared to sacrifice American lives."

Unlike former President George W. Bush, who (like many of his predecessors) has demurred from making public comments or criticisms about his successor and his policies, Cheney has been vocal in his attacks on the new president.

The guy is senile......OK.

And now he backs Limbaugh over Powell regarding the future of the GOP...

What a P.o.s.

He's probably trying to push a big fight in congress over torture. It's the ONLY thing that can unite the repubs right now and would suck all air out of whatever else Obama wants to get done his first term.

Why would he back Colin Powell's visions of the GOP? There is already a party that adheres to Colin Powell's vision and it is called the Democrats. Why do people on the left care if the GOP sticks to its principles? Why should it move left when there is already a left wing party?

This is a very good point. The so called "torture" debate is a winner for the Republicans and would be a big distraction from implementing Obama's agenda.

It could be distraction if Obama pushes the war crimes shit and locks Cheney's fat ass up.

dig420 · 05-10-2009, 04:25 PM

what I love is the way that Repubs use words until they have no meaning, so that they can't be used on them. Gingrich saying investigations into torture would be 'McCarthyite' lol.... calling democrats 'facist'.

McCarthyism is a strictly right wing, red baiting phenomenon. Facism is corporate control of the govt., also strictly a right wing desire. It's just amazing to me how many sheeple go for this stuff hook, line and sinker.

Yea... along with Pelosi and the other Democrats (Rockefeller, Harman etc.) who were fully briefed on water boarding and other enhanced interrogation techniques and made no protest..... or perhaps you mean all the Democratic congressman who voted to approve the invasion of Iraq?

I say lets have a "truth and reconciliation" war crimes tribunal that eats up all of Obama's first term. I much prefer that to making progress on socialized health care and cap and trade tax regimes.

or... maybe he just means what he says:

The reason I have been speaking," Cheney (left) said on CBS News' Face The Nation, is because "the issues that are at stake here are so important."

Cheney said that he fundamentally disagrees with many of the decisions of the Obama administration, including dismantling policies put into place by the Bush-Cheney administration which he credits with keeping the nation safe for nearly eight years following 9/11.

"Now we have an administration that has come to power that has been critical of the programs," he said, citing calls by many to investigate and possibly disbar or prosecute the Bush administration lawyers who gave legal approval for the use of interrogation techniques like waterboarding, recognized to be torture.

He said that the Obama administration's actions to reverse some of these Bush policies is "deeply disturbing."

Pleasurepays · 05-10-2009, 05:34 PM

and... instead of Obama releasing a few memos to make his case about what a great guy he is reversing policies and to make the point he's "different" and "hope" and "change" is coming.... maybe Cheney has a point..

""Give us the memos, release them to the press, let everyone take a look and see," he said.

He claimed the CIA memos discuss how specific terror attacks were planned and stopped.

Cheney said that techniques such as waterboarding were successful in producing security results, citing Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, whom he said did not cooperate until after he had been waterboarded. "Once we went through that process, he produced vast quantities of invaluable information about al Qaeda.""
