Cheney, speaking to reporters during a trip to the Middle East and Asia, said: "The president and I believe very deeply that there is a hell of a threat," adding this obliged them to "do everything in our power to defeat the terrorists."

"And I don't think that there is anything improper or inappropriate in that and my guess is that the vast majority of the American people support that, support what we're doing, believe we ought to be doing it," he said.

"So there's a backlash pending, I think the backlash is going to be against those who are suggesting somehow we shouldn't take these steps in order to defend the country," he said, speaking on a plane to Oman from Pakistan.

There's only, like, 100 million of us. Maybe he can have us renditioned to Uzbekistan.

5. Heck Fick, Go Duck Yourself

[Just Me]

6. Cheney, the backlash is going to be against YOU & yours.

Your abuses and exploitation have pissed off the American people.

You deserve to be behind bars for the rest of your short life.

[eShirl]

11. Asshole. n/t

[Walt Starr]

12. TRANSLATION: Wjho do you think we were spying on? You Democrats!!!

We've got the goods and it'd be a shame if it just happened to leak out!

[EFerrari]

14. A pretty overt threat against his political enemies

I agree. There is a hell of a threat and it's coming from the Vice pResident.

This is one dangerous mofo.

[Sydnie]

And the Insurgency is in their last throes too, right Dick?

I don't believe ONE WORD that comes out of that cesspool he calls a mouth.

[Mad_Dem_X]

15. You're right, Dickie--

but it's a backlash against you and your corrupt cronies. We're gonna backlash you right across the ass! LOL!

[htuttle]

16. His terrorist threats don't scare me anymore than Osama's did

I've gone through more risks just living in the Corporate/Industrial Thunderdome for the last 4 decades than any kook in Afghanistan or fat cat in Washington DC can threaten me with. Hell with them. The only thing we have to fear is fear itself, or so I've heard...

[sweetheart]

19. love that image

"corporate/industrial thunderdome for 4 decades" that pretty much sums it.

These jokers need to do some face-time with their customers...

He is the world's fear salesman, the devil's agent 666 and a load of
christians are just really not getting what camp they're living in.

[Dora]

17. Does he even THINK about how SENSELESS that SOUNDS?

Or has his bloodthirst rendered him sloppy?

[liberal N proud]

18. What pray tell me could be the backlash?

They will invite Bin Laden to preform another attack on American soil

[Crunchy Frog]

20. Are they threatening us with another terrorist attack

if we continue to question their policies?

[IndyOp]

25. Avian flu with accompanying martial law? Or bombs?

Which would be more effective on the sheeple? :shrug:

[Nay]

29. Or anthrax or tularemia? Effing asshole. Bite me, Dick.

[Joe for Clark]

21. There is probably a backlash coming alright - just not in the

direction he thinks.

One thing for sure about Cheney - he hasn't been right yet about anything important.

[dogfacedboy]

22. STFU, Cheney. Just STFU. n/t

[Loonman]

23. That evil, decrepit cyborg fuck don't scare me!

He terrifies me.

[in_cog_ni_to]

24. another MIHOP....we know what you mean you son-of-a-bitch!

Your sheeple may be IGNORANT assholes, but we aren't!:grr:

[hwmnbn]

26. Fuck him, we know where he lives........nt

[SillyGoose]

27. He can shove his backlash where the sun don't shine.

There's a backlash coming alright and its going to smack him right in his sneering face.
