Cheney returning to U.S. after talks with Saudis


By Patricia Zengerle 8 minutes ago

SHANNON (Reuters)- Vice President Dick Cheney met on Saturday with Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah, who expressed concern about the security situation in the Middle East, but neither side gave specifics about their discussions.

The two men were together for about three hours during Cheney's brief visit to the Saudi capital Riyadh.

Cheney made no comment after the meeting before boarding his plane and flying back to the United States, stopping over briefly in Ireland.

"They covered a range of regional issues," said Cheney's spokeswoman Lea Anne McBride. "It was a good visit with someone the vice president has known for going on 17 years and is a great friend and ally of the United States."

1. Gee, that was quick
that would indicate the answer was no.

3. The "no comment" response is a dead giveaway...
...I'm sure the trip will be very quickly forgotten. But hey, he got out of the bunker for a while and got to visit with his good friends, and nobody got shot in the face, so it wasn't a total waste of time. Unless you count the American taxpayers who funded the trip, of course.

22. cheney's stance--
what is it with the way he is standing in this picture? Not to be rude, but it looks as though he has a 'load in his pants', as the ole grammy was wont to say!

6. The treasonous....
...bastard on the left, Small Dick "Fucking" Cheney will be facing his own troubles very shortly. Afterall, if a sitting and really elected President can be deposed over a blowjob, I don't imagine that a pipsqueak, cowardly jerkoff like Dick "Shoots a Guy in the Face" Cheney stands a chance in hell of not coming under the righteous gavel of John Conyers.

Oh, by the way Dick, you missed a spot on the corner of your mouth. Just a little shmutz. You're welcome, Dick.

17. Exactly, I am thinking they might have had a little chat about
a major liberal American city meeting with an "accident" sometime in the near future. He seems even more vengeful and determined than W and it wouldn't surprise me at all if a "terra" discussion wasn't part of the visit.

They both have an interest in keeping the fear going and if Cheney could arrange to take over the government via martial law in the wake of another "attack" orchestrated by the Saudis, I believe he will.

Because, by God, at least the king isn't gay.

12. The scowl gets replaced with a smirk, in the presence oil wealth.
He's headed back to his underground Fortress Of Doom...to re-think this Iraq deal.

16. this is the only time i have seen this asshole truly smile
or what can be called a smile on his face. the rest of the times it's a sneer or smirk . but you can tell he isn't smiling or happy based on his eyes.

but the asshole sure seemed lit up while meeting all his business partners.

19. Cheney sees the handwriting on the wall
He went there to set up his retirement condo.

Deadheart Dick knows that he'll be considered a criminal by most of the world.
He also knows that there is no extradition treaty between Saudi Arabia and the U.S.

23. Neither of them are a friend or ally of US
These are sick humans that destroy the lives of millions for their own personal gain. I cannot think of anything constructive these people would discuss. They are fools squandering wealth.
