"If by a “Liberal” they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people — their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights, and their civil liberties — someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicions that grip us in our policies abroad, if that is what they mean by a “Liberal,” then I’m proud to say I’m a “Liberal.” ~ John F. Kennedy, 1960

I despise the Bush family. They and their cohorts have destroyed our once great nation for decades now and knowing that these two criminals stunk up the White House makes me wonder what they’re up to.
George W. Bush smooching with the King of Saudi Arabia (remember it’s okay to kiss and hold hands with the king as you walk through the Rose Garden, but you can’t bow to the king! Spit):
How come George W. Bush didn’t come with them? Is it because they were there on his behalf? Spit.
What do you think is the reason for this criminal family to visit President Obama at this time? We know the Haitians are the last thing on the minds of the Bush family because they hate anyone who is darker than pasty white, so it makes you wonder what threats they were lobbing at our President yesterday!
George H.W. Bush: son of a Nazi sympathizer/financier, former CIA man, Vice President under Reagan, former President of the United States, has done business with the Saudi royals and the bin Laden family for decades now, and is the father of the worst president in the history of America, George W. Bush.
Jeb Bush: former governor of Florida, Mr. Savings & Loan scandal master in Broward County, Florida (hell! the whole Bush family has stolen millions and billions over the years through savings and loan scandals!), helped steal the 2000 election along with Katherine Harris for his brother George, son of a criminal, brother of a war criminal, and there isn’t anyone he won’t bribe!
George H.W. Bush said yesterday’s visit was just a “social call” because he was in town to attend the prestigious Alfalfa Dinner. Uh huh. Suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuure it was. Asshole! Would someone please arrest this family so America can go on with it’s business for crying out loud!

But it weren’t the one bush or cheeneey (H/T Tweety) had in mind ………………..
About sums it all up doesn’t it?
Bin Laden had a plan and the dumb as dirt neo-cons, republiscum and now the bed wetting tea baggers are followin’ it too a Tee,
Too bad he seems much smarter then they are, but his CIA involvement during the Reagan debacle helped bin Laden immensely. (PS we weren’t the only ones)
Bin Laden wanted to draw the US into the same style of war he waged with the CIA help against the Soviets in Afghanistan, a long drawn out battle with mounting casulies till the super power copuldn’t take it any more. Buish did just that and more, the Idiot doubled down in Iraq!!!!!!!
Ole bin Laden couldn’t believe his incredible luck.
Bush the Idiot was too stupid to finish bin forgotten off before beginning a bigger fiasco in Iraq,
Now we have two un-winnable, unfinished wars, to help bin Laden and al qaeda recruit more terrorists while bush the Idiot blew over a trillion of borrowed Chinese dollars in his numb-skull idiotic adventures instead of doing the right thing, using the power and reach of the US to get bin Laden and the rest of the terrorist who actually were behind 9-11,
We all aren’t any safer as the Christmas bomber (re-run of Richard Reid) shows, but bush lost thousands of good troops, had tens of thousands more wounded, wasted over a trillion dollars … PS the grands kids will thanks us for that bill. Now the military is worn out, over extended, with little to show for it, but a grave near Tikrit Iraq, and a huge bill from the borrowed dollars and fresh graves of the fallen.
Heck of a job, you idiots.
Now the bed wetters and rest of the reich wing wants to pile on President Obama for Bush’s incompetency in doing his actual job,
You know, getting the real people behind the attacks, Yes, … actually getting them (dead or alive like Bush claimed he was gonna do) … remember?
He didn’t as soon as March 13, 2002 …
NOT wasting soldiers lives, bodies or the countries wealth on a pipe dream of the US controlled middle east,(the PNAC wet dream) settling personal scores or obtaining the Iraqi oil fields for US control.
Yep he accomplished his mission, … bin Laden that is, …. and bush/cheeneey couldn’t have been a better supporter for him to that mission if they had actually conspired with Bin laden. (which I don’t believe they did, just were too arrogant, stubborn, and foolish to listen to wiser council, and then have take a more prudent and productive course of action.)
8 1/2 years later and the 9-11 planners are still laughing at the incredible luck they had with the dumbest Supreme Court decision ever ….. who would have though 5 justices of the Supreme Court would have screwed us all over that way, … but they did, … and ole’ bin Laden thanks them for it.
He couldn’t have accomplished as much as he did with out their help either.
This stands on it’s own;
Dick Cheney’s lies about President Obama
by, Eugene Robinson
It’s pathetic to break a New Year’s resolution before we even get to New Year’s Day, but here I go. I had promised myself that I would do a better job of ignoring Dick Cheney’s corrosive and nonsensical outbursts — that I would treat them, more or less, like the pearls of wisdom one hears from homeless people sitting in bus shelters.
But he is a former vice president, which gives him a big stage for his histrionic Rottweiler-in-Winter act. It is never a good idea to let widely disseminated lies and distortions go unchallenged. And the shrill screed that Cheney unloosed Wednesday is so full of outright mendacity that, well, my resolution will have to wait.
In a statement to Politico, Cheney seemed to be trying to provide talking points for opponents of the Obama administration who — incredibly — would exploit the Christmas Day terrorist attack for political gain. Cheney’s broadside opens with a big lie, which he then repeats throughout. It is as if he believes that saying something over and over again, in a loud enough voice, magically makes it so.
“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,” Cheney begins.
Flat-out untrue.
The fact is that Obama has said many times that we are at war against terrorists. He said it as a candidate. He said it in his inaugural address: “Our nation is at war against a far-reaching network of violence and hatred.” He has said it since.
As Cheney well knows, unless he has lost even the most tenuous grip on reality, Obama’s commitment to warfare as an instrument in the fight against terrorism has won the president nothing but grief from the liberal wing of his party, with more certainly to come. Hasn’t anyone told Cheney that Obama is sharply boosting troop levels in Afghanistan in an attempt to avoid losing a war that the Bush administration started but then practically abandoned?
Cheney knows this. But he goes on to use the big lie — that Obama is “trying to pretend we are not at war” — to bludgeon the administration on a host of specific issues. Here is the one that jumps out at me: The president, Cheney claims, “seems to think that if he closes Guantanamo and releases the hard-core al Qaeda-trained terrorists still there, we won’t be at war.”
Interesting that Cheney should bring that up, because it now seems clear that the man accused of trying to blow up Northwest Flight 253, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, was given training — and probably the bomb itself, which involved plastic explosives sewn into his underwear — by al-Qaeda operatives in Yemen. It happens that at least two men who were released from Guantanamo appear to have gone on to play major roles as al-Qaeda lieutenants in Yemen. Who let these dangerous people out of our custody? They were set free by the administration of George W. Bush and Dick Cheney.
The former vice president expresses his anger that the Obama administration is bringing Khalid Sheik Mohammed, the architect of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, to trial in New York. Cheney is also angry that Obama does not use the phrase “war on terror” all the time, the way the Bush administration used to. But Obama just specifies that we’re at war against a network of terrorists, on the sensible theory that it’s impossible to wage war against a tactic.
Toward the end of his two-paragraph statement, Cheney goes completely off the rails and starts fulminating about how Obama is seeking “social transformation — the restructuring of American society.” Somehow, this is supposed to be related to the president’s alleged disavowal of war — which, of course, isn’t real anyway. It makes you wonder whether Cheney is just feeding the fantasies of the paranoid right or has actually joined the tea-party fringe.
I can find reasons to criticize the administration’s response to the Christmas Day attack. Obama and his team were slow off the mark. Their initial statements were weak. Obama shouldn’t have waited three days to speak publicly, and when he did he should have shown some emotion.
But using a terrorist attack to seek political gain? I have a New Year’s resolution to suggest for Cheney: Ahead of your quest for personal vindication, put country first.
Now when the wingnuts and conservo-tards get their bedwetting panties in a twist, and screech their talking points they have this post to rebut or fail in the talking point idiocy they play with.
But that won’t stop them any more the the facts ever have.
I’m sure Bush & Cheney are fine that these emails have been found, because honestly, what would these two angels have to hide from us Americans? I mean, really, they were so honest with us for their 8 years so what could possibly be in there that we didn’t already know? Spit.
Speaking of finding something “lost” and bringing it into the light: IT APPEARS JOE LIEberman HAS BEEN CAUGHT ON TAPE BEING FOR EXPANDING MEDICARE TO AMERICANS. Oh how this bastard’s hypocrisy has been exposed! He might as well start calling himself a right wing conservative now because he fits the profile….hands down!
If you happen to pass by Joe LIEberman today, could you please trip him for me? Thank you.
NewsBusters is so upset with rational thinking Americans being upset with Joe Lieberman that they can’t handle an ounce of criticism about Joe’s wife. Really? Well, here’s some more for you to bitch about!….

Well?
Calls from Angela Merkel told Tony Blair he would not get EU’s top job
and
Leaked documents reveal No 10 cover-up over Iraq invasion
• Inquiry to hear how Blair hid true intentions for war
• Military ‘ill-prepared’ for aftermath of invasion
coinky dink?
I think not, after all who wants a known liar;
Tony Blair, the former prime minister, misled MPs and the public to throughout 2002 when he claimed that Britain’s objective was “disarmament, not regime change” and that there had been no planning for military action. In fact, British military planning for a full invasion and regime change began in February 2002.
and possible war criminal;
They were so shocked by the lack of preparation for the aftermath of the invasion that they believe members of the British and US governments at the time could be prosecuted for war crimes by breaching the duty outlined in the Geneva convention to safeguard civilians in a conflict, the Guardian has been told.
to head the European Union?
Hmm if Tony Blair was lying to the British people cause he made a pack with Bush to illegally attack Iraq in early 2002,
Blair had in effect promised George Bush that he would join the US-led invasion when, as late as July 2002, he was denying to MPs that preparations were being made for military action. The leaked documents reveal that “from March 2002 or May at the latest there was a significant possibility of a large-scale British operation”.
does that mean Bush-Cheney lied to us all through 2002?
YA THINK?
That means they are war criminals also.
Illegal invasion;
No preparation for civilians post combat phase, …
Documents leaked in 2005 show that, almost a year before the invasion, Blair was privately preparing to commit Britain to war and topple Saddam Hussein, despite warnings from his closest advisers that it was unjustified. They also show how Blair was planning to justify regime change as an objective, despite warnings from Lord Goldsmith, the attorney general, that the “desire for regime change was not a legal base for military action.
Hmmmm …… regime change for the sake of regime change is a war crime,
Interesting;
Somebody better tell Gonzo, Condi, Dumsfeld, Powell, Feith, Wolfowitz, Franks, Hadley, Libby, Fleisher, Tenet, Perle, Cambone, Boykin, Ashcroft, Armitage, Bolton, Zoellick among others to call Henry Kissinger and ask how American War criminals can travel with out the inconvience of being sent to the Hague for a trial.
Oh yea Bush and Cheney too.
Nice to see the British actually investigating this, too bad we never will …. cause too many republicans (they were in charge of lying and committing war crimes remember) will go to prison then.
Wanna bet the corporate owned MSM entertainment-disinfo service here in America ignores this one also?
Well the batshit insane crowd is gonna possibly go berserk again;
You know the insane clown posse of knee jerks, faux noise, Glenn Beck, Rush the addict, Hannity, O’Rielly, WND, the Cheney Criminal Enterprise, reich wing bloviating radio, Coulter, Malkin, and of course the cowardly reich wing troll brigade …………
Why you ask?
Wel-l-l-l-l-l-l …..
Saudi, Facing Oil Consumption Spike, Mulls Nuclear (behind a paywall, Rupert owns it now)
IE build a nu-kle-ar plant in Saudi Arabia
What?
They have LOTS of oil, they say so.
Saudi Arabia’s proven reserves stood at 264.10
billion barrels of oil at the beginning 2009 according to the 2009
BP Statistical Review of World Energy.
Although this amount has remained essentially the same from 1989, even with them producing a cumulative total of 64 billion barrels over that time frame.
Which lead to this:
Matthew Simmons, a highly respected oil expert, predicts in his book,
“Twilight in the Desert,” that most of Saudi Arabia’s giant oil fields, including the Ghawar field (the world’s largest oil field which has been producing about five million barrels of oil per day for more than 50 years) is now or will soon experience the same fate as Mexico’s Cantarell Field — inexorable decline.
So they can’t need a nuke plant can they?
Actually …. yes.
They have lots of oil, …….. for now.
Remember that Cantarell oil field in Mexico,
It was placed on nitrogen injection in 2000, and production peaked at 2.1 million barrels per day (330,000 m3/d) in 2003. Production declined rapidly after that, and by 2009 had fallen to 772,000 barrels per day
Well Ghawar in the Saudi desert;
The Ghawar Oil Field is by far the largest conventional oil field in the world and accounts for more than half of the cumulative oil production of Saudi Arabia.
The field’s copious production has had help in the form of water injection, which was initiated in 1965.
As wells mature, engineers must manage the pressure by pumping natural gas or water into the wells. This forces oil upward and maintains flow. As more water is pumped into a well, more is found mixed with the extracted oil (the “water-cut.”) High water-cuts imply that a field is running out of natural pressure and becoming more depleted. Ghawar is a rare example of an oilfield with extraordinary natural pressure, although there are some signs that more water is now necessary to help maintain pressure levels.
Water injection volumes are included in a number of publicly available articles about Ghawar, with one of the more recent ones pegging the injection rate at seven million barrels of seawater per day. Water cut, according to other sources, has been reduced from approximately 35 percent to roughly 30 percent since vertical well drilling was shelved in favor of horizontal wellbores.
Saudis eye CO2 injection at Ghawar
Remember the Mexicans used nitrogen injection to hold up production in Cantrell for a few extra years, but the eventual decline in production could not be avoided.
Seems the Saudis are trying a similar trick here; trying to hold up production, to continue their claims they have enormous amounts of oil. But they don’t seem to want to tell us all exactly how much oil they have, which is why they pump and pump (using what ever it takes) but claim they aren’t decreasing their reserves.
They have a rising population and ever rising demand of oil internally. This conflicts with the fact, everybody else on the planet also wants that oil, which is why in a recession, during the fall (when it normally drops some), the price of oil is actually going up: $75.08 at the time I am writing this. Much higher then last spring, when oil was in the $30’s area.
They have supplied oil to the world since before WW2, the and been the swing producer of oil since the US peaked in production in the early 1970’s.
However they are producing at almost full capacity, and either have to cut exports due to the ELM, IE less oil to sell to the rest of the world, which would cause another rise in world oil prices. Or the Saudis find a new source of energy to produce electricity from.
Since, from the WSJ article above:
With electric power using around 75% of Saudi Arabia’s domestic oil, the need for another source of energy has become acute. And as the kingdom rolls out a $400 billion spending plan over the next five years to build the infrastructure needed to diversify its economy away from hydrocarbons, it will need all the money it can get from oil exports.
Hmmmm ya thunk may-be, just, may-be the Iranians which have a larger population … read that … more people using more oil, and a lower total reserve of oil left, are trying to do exactly that?
Save the oil which they are currently burning to produce electricity for their population and use nuke reactors to create electricity, which would allow them to make more money off the exports which would lower the cost of oil to the rest of us if even just for a little while. That would mean Bush, Cheney, Bolton, Kristol, the Israeli’s and the rest of the neo-con cabal was lying to us for years about the Iranian nuke program. Like they lied about Iraqi nukes, chemical weapons, and the rest of the crap they sold the sheeple to get their illegal invasion of Iraq.
So can we expect a new drum beat for oil against the country which originated 15 of the 19, 9-11 high-jackers, and funded the in Laden network more then any other country?
Funds most of the madrasas network in Pakistan, which both Al Qaeda and the Taliban draw recruits from.
Has the most extreme fundamental sect of politically approved sect of Islam, Wahhabism. The sect of Islam which Bin Laden and the Taliban drew from in formulating their extreme violent sect.
Could we expect the reich wing to go batshit crazy over this,
We l-l-l-l-l, …… no not exactly.
Cause the oil+banking sect which was behind the original PNAC neo-con cabal has too many lucrative ties to the House of Saud.
Like, Prince Alwaleed bin Talal owning a large stake in Citigroup, who is currently requesting the US Government sell the shares the government got for saving Citigroup from bankruptcy.
Or the Carlyle Group, which both George H W Bush and Bin Laden family’s, (until after9-11) among several other interesting individuals, held stakes in that is.
Or Arbusto Energy
Arbusto Energy (sometimes referred to as Arbusto Oil) was a petroleum and energy company formed in Midland, Texas, in 1977, for former US President George W. Bush by a group of investors which included Dorothy Bush, Lewis Lehrman, William Henry Draper III, Bill Gammell, and James R. Bath. The company’s chief financial officer was K. Michael Conaway, now a United States Congressman from Texas.
It was later revealed that Bath made an investment of $50,000 while representing Salem bin Laden of the Saudi Binladin Group. This fact became controversial after the September 11, 2001 attacks due to Salem bin Laden being an older, half-brother of Osama bin Laden, who planned and financed the attacks. Upon Salem bin Laden’s death in a 1988 airplane crash, in Texas, his interest in Arbusto (along with other Binladin Group assets), passed to Khalid bin Mahfouz (a wealthy Saudi Arabian businessman residing in Ireland, who was accused of supporting al-Qaeda.)
As for the Israelis, they won’t complain, cause even though the Saudis mouth the words, they never took the actions Saddam or Iran has in supporting Hezbollah or the Palestinians. The reason is simple the House of Saud has as much to fear from the Arab street as Israel ever has. Al Qaeda’s primary mission is actually to over throw the House of Saud, and replace the pro-western government there with one based on strict sharia rule.
Al-Qaeda ideologues envision a complete break from the foreign influences in Muslim countries and the creation of a new Islamic caliphate.
Naw, I can’t see the reich wing neo-con screeching for a war against the Saudis, nor their lunatic fringe in the MSM to push for it, in fact I bet this doesn’t really register on the US Main Stream entertainment Media at all.
Not in their interest of stirring up the rabble rousers, nor in the interest of the moneyed players (on both sides of the ocean) who pull their strings.
PS: I bet you don’t even hear either dipshit; Sarah Palin or Michelle Bachmann mention it.
Americans are not stupid. We know a cover-up when we see it. Since the Oklahoma City bombing and 9/11/01, there have been many unanswered questions about these two atrocities and it appears the only answer the FBI and our government will give us is a couple of crumbs and call it good. Well, it’s not good enough. After 9/11/01, the American people demanded to know what actually hit the Pentagon on that fateful morning, because not only was the damage to the building suspect on what created it, but many people said they saw an all white government plane flying around before the Pentagon was hit. To quell the questions Americans were having, Donald Rumsfeld decided to release the “one and only tape” from the grounds of the Pentagon to show Americans that a commercial airliner did indeed hit the building that morning. Here’s the crumb he gave us to watch:
Eight seconds of video was released and all we see is something white hitting the building perfectly level feet off the ground. How the hell could non-experienced pilots bring a commercial airliner in like that? Was I the only one who thought the plane would be coming in at a 45 degree angle to hit the building? I mean, really, how would an inexperienced pilot be able to clear the trees and the cars in the parking lot and bring that plane in level a few feet off the ground? And why is the tape the Pentagon released edited? They say it’s because the camera took a picture seconds apart. Bullshit! Why the hell would the Pentagon (the most secure building in our nation for crying out loud!) have old security cameras on it’s property? Doesn’t make sense. The releasing of this video only added more questions to what actually happened that day.
Fast forward to today and we’re now able to view the videotapes that were in and around the Oklahoma Federal building the day the bombing in 1995 happened. As usual, the FBI gave us crumbs. These videotapes are highly edited and as mentioned in this article over at Huffington Post, it’s what is not on these tapes that is causing Americans to have more questions about what really went on and who was behind the attack! Here’s some of the crumbs the FBI gave us recently….
The problem is….our government was involved in both of these attacks in one way or another. Dick Cheney on the morning of 9/11/01 created a Shadow Government and said that they (the Bush Regime) had to go to the ‘dark side’. Well, I believe this very violent Shadow Government has been in force for years behind the scenes. In fact, I believe that al-Qaida is the base (al-Qaida means “The Base”) of the Bush Family & Friends, Inc. and is their personal death squad to use to get whatever they want. It’s very interesting that the Bush Regime did away with the Able Danger investigation/program. Why? To this day, we don’t know a damn new thing about al-Qaida either. Again, why? Is it because the players of both are on the payrolls of very important known individuals? Hey, could be. Until proven otherwise, I will continue to believe we’ve been duped for years now.
(hat tip to Grant in Houston for providing the Huffington Post link with the Oklahoma City bombing videotape in it)
If George W Bush were willing to open up and admit his thoughts after leaving office, I have a sneaking suspicion that his answer to a question he was asked during his presidency, and failed miserably in his answer, would surpires many. I think his response would be completely different today.
In April 2004 a reporter asked the question;
In the last campaign, you were asked a question about the biggest mistake you’d made in your life and you used to like to joke that it was trading Sammy Sosa. You’ve looked back before 9/11 for what mistakes might have been made. After 9/11, what would your biggest mistake be, would you say? And what lessons have you learned from it?
His answer is memorable for it’s arrogance and clueless at the same time;
Hmmm. I wish you’d have given me this written question ahead of time so I could plan for it. I’m sure historians will look back and say, Gosh, he could have done it better this way or that way. You know, I just — I’m sure something will pop into my head here in the midst of this press conference with all the pressure of trying to come up with an answer, but it hadn’t yet.
Given his presidency is finished and beginning to be judged by history, something he claimed would result in his resurrection in the publics eyes, I would ask a slightly different version of the same question.
In the first campaign, you were asked a question about the biggest mistake you’d made in your life and you used to like to joke that it was trading Sammy Sosa. Now that you can reflect on your presidency, what mistakes might have been made. What would your biggest mistake in your presidency be, would you say?
I think if he is completely honest and candid, his answer would surprise many of us.
I for one do not think he would say;
The fact he totally missed the intell and warnings pre 9-11.
The failure to properly prosecute the Afghan operation and focusing on actually capturing Osama bin Laden.
His failure to properly access the intell and realities about the Iraqi situation pre-invasion.
The actions post invasion in Iraq which both allowed the insurrection to arise and bumbling mostly by Rumsfeld that fed it for years.
The total debacle of his and the government under him response to the worst natural disaster in our nations history, hurricane Katrina.
His numerous failures to actually follow the US Constitution and International law, ie allowing torture, wholesale unlawful spying on Americans.
Pushing the US military to the breaking point, and not addressing the stress and needs of uniformed military and veterans during wartime.
Nomination of Alberto Gonzales to any post.
The failure to properly enforce regulations and demand proper accounting standards before the worst recession post WW2.
No as important as each of those failures are, I think George W Bush regrets one decision he made even more then any of them.
I think that he just might consider his greatest mistake was actually made on July 25, 2000, when he asked Richard Bruce Cheney to be his running mate.
Once he asked Cheney to run with him, he seemed to hand much of the power and decision making power over to Cheney.
Cheney brought his PNAC team in to the bush administration with him, from Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, Perle, and Feith, at Defense, to Armitage, Cheney’s daughter and Bolton at State, to Libby and Addington, running his hit squad inside the VP office. These team Cheney players set the course for the first six years of Bush’s time in office and doomed Bush to a course for the failures he experienced in foreign policy.
But Cheney had a larger influence then just rigging the foreign policy views to match the PNAC delusions, he under cut Treas Sec O’Neill and Sec of State Powell, and was the prime mover in the Plame Affair black eye the Bush Administration suffered. This resulted in the major disasters for Bush by the end of his presidency;
Powell couldn’t stop the invasion and resulting fiasco in Iraq and O’Neill wasn’t allowed to point out how disastrous the policies Bush was perusing would end, like they did in our current recession. Cheney made sure of it. Cheney also was the prime architect of the efforts to under mine the US Constitution and laws to promote a view of the presidency which does not exist in either the founding fathers original ideal nor the document the wrote to found this nation. Cheney in the end setup Bush for the vast majority of the failures he experienced.
The only major failure Bush experienced which Cheney isn’t prominently featured in was Katrina.
Cheney came into office with a set of plans for the Middle East, and how power should be exercised by the executive branch, that Bush never discussed with the voting public. However until at least November 2006 Bush seemed to aqueous to the ideas of Cheney most of the time. By the time the results of those policies were obvious to most Americans, the Bush administration was resoundingly rejected both in the mid term elections of November 2006 and the presidential election of 2008. John McCain seemed to run from Bush/Cheney in 2008 even more then Gore ran from Clinton in 2000
I expect if one could actually sit down for a few beers with Bush, and he relaxed and got honest both with himself and the rest of us, he would admit his very first “presidential decision” was actually his worst;
IE, asking Dick Cheney to be his running mate.
Dick Cheney continues to shit on the 8-year memory of Americans and killed at least one American yesterday when he opened his asshole mouth….
(picture)
According to Dick Cheney yesterday not only was President Obama rude to make him wait by not adhering to the 5-minute-rule, but Cheney also wanted us to know that Americans have always valued torture and this means he can’t be a war criminal then, even though he ordered it. See? Yeah, yeah, Dickey thinks we Americans have always waterboarded, broken arms & legs, and put our children in small boxes with spiders, because this is what we value. We need protection from our children, our neighbors, our representatives…I mean, really, Cheney knows we’re scared, but thankfully, we value torture right Dick! Yeah, yeah, we value watching each other writhe in pain or become completely terrified to the point our brain changes. See? And we can thank the president of the Shadow Government for pointing this out yesterday!
“No moral value held dear by the American people obliges public servants ever to sacrifice innocent lives to spare a captured terrorist from unpleasant things”, said Dick Cheney while eating a kitten and his granddaughter’s leg at the podium.
Spit.
Is it just me or does anyone else feel like using our American values by clubbing Dickey and his daughter Liz to the brink of death and then waterboarding them once they come to? According to the Dickster, just me saying this makes me a great American because I value the use of torture instead of the successful techniques used by the FBI & local/state police! See? It’s the only way to get the Cheney’s to admit that they are all war criminals! Torture them now!
AS USUAL, PRESIDENT OBAMA SPOKE TRUTH TO POWER YESTERDAY ABOUT WHAT AMERICANS TRULY DO VALUE.
His words…
“Fidelity to our values is the reason why the United States of America grew from a small string of colonies under the writ of an empire to the strongest nation in the world.
It’s the reason why enemy soldiers have surrendered to us in battle, knowing they’d receive better treatment from America’s Armed Forces than from their own government.
It’s the reason why America has benefitted from strong alliances that amplified our power, and drawn a sharp, moral contrast with our adversaries.
It’s the reason why we’ve been able to overpower the iron fist of fascism and outlast the iron curtain of communism, and enlist free nations and free peoples everywhere in the common cause and common effort of liberty.
From Europe to the Pacific, we’ve been the nation that has shut down torture chambers and replaced tyranny with the rule of law. That is who we are. And where terrorists offer only the injustice of disorder and destruction, America must demonstrate that our values and our institutions are more resilient than a hateful ideology.”
Ummm, Mr. President? Please have your Justice Department investigate Dick Cheney and then have him arrested, okay? Americans value this. The End.

Spits of rage…
