1. By which he means demand American boots on the ground.

[valerief]

2. He's still picking at his PNAC scab. nt

[warrant46]

14. The Old Draft Dodger

Still wants your kids to fight and die for his dream of World Glory and massive profits for his handlers who run the War Machine

[valerief]

30. You've got me singing That Old Draft Dodger to this song now!

That old draft dodger has me in his spell
That old draft dodging that he weaves so well
Those icy fingers 'round that glass of wine
The same deferments that are his not mine
Etc, etc.

[warrant46]

42. +1

[Voice for Peace]

28. omigosh. perfect.

[Dopers_Greed]

3. He must need some Halliburton payouts

His body has become so evil, that even artificial hearts are dying inside of it. Gotta be expensive to keep replacing them.

[valerief]

31. He has more money than he knows what to do with, and he can Blackwater anyone

who doesn't do what he wants.

[lark]

4. More money, more money.

That's what Cheney is singing in this article. He's just salivating at the chance for Haliburton to rake in a ton of money so he can get his take.
That's all this is for him - personal enrichment and screw everyone else. He has no care for the country, our military personnel or anything other than enriching himself and the rest of the 1%. He's a traitor to this country.

19. cheney still lives

The battery operated war monger never changes -- he loves him some war -- especially when others suffer and die -- he makes money, so he's doing fine.
He would answer every problem with a bomb/invasion/destruction and death.

[upaloopa]

5. They are afraid to lose that oil

All that lying and killing to control oil in Iraq just to hand it over to terrorists? Oh no!

[bobthedrummer]

6. Cheney Watch.org link-our veterans are dying because of this war criminal-we are hated because we

haven't held him accountable.

7. GOP does everything behind closed doors. Because they lie, cheat and steal.

[benld74]

8. Says the Hawkish man with deferrments out his yahoo!!!

[WilliamPitt]

9. *ahem*

I hate to take a complex and potentially dangerous international situation and boil it down to nine words, but it can't be helped: If this asshole is for it, I'm against it.

Fucking cyborg shit-soul mass-murdering dumpster of fuck has gotten millions of people killed, maimed, displaced or bankrupted. If he thinks this is a good idea, it has to be a really, really bad idea. I know all about the Busted Watch Theory, but not with him. Never with him. If he's breathing, he's lying, and wrong.

[C Moon]

10. I'm glad he's old and has a history of heart disease.

[amandabeech]

15. Didn't he get a heart transplant?

If so, he'll be around for a few years longer.

Makes me ill.

[warrant46]

16. This War Criminal Scum has a New heart

He will outlive us all

[Iliyah]

11. War drums, beat beat beat

war drums drum drum, right before elections which is not making the GOP party very happy at this point.

Cheney also noted that Pres O took the eye off the ball against the terrorist, Isisl, meaning its his fault.

[the_sly_pig]

12. dick Cheney is disgusting.

He's a sociopath.

[freebrew]

13. Isn't he dead yet?

Why in the hell is anyone listening to this corrupt, crooked war criminal?

Fuck him and his secret government.

[yuiyoshida]

17. Dick's dream would be to be in a room

where they were all being water boarded.

[jmowreader]

18. 6,830 folded flags are ENOUGH, Dick!

2,344 US dead in the Afghanistan war, plus an untollable number of Afghani dead.

4,486 US dead in the Iraq war, plus an untollable number of Iraqi dead.

The sickest part: The exact people who are clamoring to send our brave American troops back to that hellhole to receive traumatic brain injuries, lose limbs, die, and bankrupt the country in the process - EXACTLY WHAT ISIS HAS STATED THEY ARE TRYING TO DO! - would jump on a live grenade to save six thousand fetuses. But we're talking about grown men and women with spouses, children, friends, puppy dogs and mortgages, so killing them en masse is perfectly fine.

Not even if the architects of the Iraq War and every Republican in Congress, along with their entire families, are willing to volunteer for combat duty should we think of going back there.

[maddiemom]

22. Exactly. Two thumbs up!

[dbackjon]

20. Dick - YOU FIRST

Take your daughter with you.

[logosoco]

21. I think dick cheney has caused enough death and environmental

damage in his time here enough for me to say Fuck you dick cheney. And anyone who listens to him as well.

(apologies to DUers who may be offended by this language, but this is exactly why those words exist, for people like cheney).

[Dollface]

23. If you vote Republican its because you don't know dick.

[onyourleft]

24. Indeed. No...

...surprises here.

[another_liberal]

25. What the hell!

Have they forgotten who he is? Why in the name of all pointless wastes of time would they consult with the foremost architect of the original Iraq disaster on how to deal with that pitiful country's current crisis?

Dick Cheney back in the high councils of our government, what a terrifying prospect!

[Veilex]

26. "Dick Cheney urges Republicans to take hardline military stance"

Of course he does... he stands to benefit from it.

[muntrv]

27. I urge Cheney and the House GOP to enlist.

[CanonRay]

29. Gee, who woulda thought Cheney would take a hard line, militaristic stance?

Huh....

[RoccoR5955]

32. I hope he is giving them one-way plane tickets

and one gun each. He can go himself, and take Dim Son with him.
Mission Accomplished!

[PADemD]

33. His name should always be Five-Deferment Dick Cheney.

[TwilightGardener]

34. There's no amount of other people's blood and money this fucking zombie ISN'T willing to

spend to enrich his cronies.

[TwilightGardener]

36. BTW: "We will, in fact, be greeted as liberators."

This quote needs to come up every time he spouts....every time...

[DontTreadOnMe]

35. The Sith Speaks!

The Dark Lord meets behind closed doors...

[tanyev]

37. Anybody who doesn't agree gets a free hunting trip.

[Feral Child]

38. Fucking Monster!

I guess he needs to steal another million or two to finance his canned hunting addiction.

[George II]

39. Ol' "mister five draft deferrments" never saw a potential war he didn't like....

....as long as he didn't have to go off to war himself.

[SoapBox]

40. Just fucking die already...

One of the greatest evils in the World...this creep.

[6000eliot]

41. Preferably, the one that benefits Haliburton the most.
