Okay, I have held my powder on Cheney and 9/11...but enough is enough
With him all over the TV saying that Obama is putting us in danger, not heeding warnings and basically saying the Democrats are leading the country for an attack.

Just wait a minute Mister Cheney. On what watch did the 9/11 attacks take place. I CAN'T HEAR YOU Mister Cheney.. On what watch did the horrific attack of 9/11 happen on.

Who was warned about Osama Bin Laden and the Al Qaeda network and chose to ignore it. WHO WAS IT Mister Cheney.

Who went to Iraq, and chose not to hunt down the network that had targeted us?

The only time we were in danger was when you and your cohorts had control of the government.

3. And, the corporatemediawhores
let him get away with it. Do you think if we had a Free Press that 9/11 would not have been investigated to the nth degree?

Or if it happened on a Dem watch with the current WhorePress?

5. If that had been a Democrat, it would have been 24/7
investigate investigate investigate. Heck there is more juice about a comedienne's routine at a White House dinner than what the press looked at after 9/11

7. I Wish One Person In The Media Had The Balls To Say That To His Face
Too bad none of them do.

11. His head would explode, someone would put it on Youtube and it would be the top hitter.
They don't question him because they don't want Cheney yuck all over them. That plus no one is exactly sure if his hit squad is still in operation.

Sidebar: what kind of low-life zombie would be willing to kill for Dick Cheney?

13. They won't point it out because they're militant.
Edited on Mon May-11-09 08:53 PM by Gregorian
Dog bites man stories are so 20th century. A good Shock and Awe is the only thing that captivates fat blubbering Americans, as well as munition stocks.

I hate to generalize. Not all Americans are fat nor blubbering. God I really should just lock my door and go to Europe. Now I'm thinking out loud. Sorry.


By the way, I thanked you because it feels nice to know that there are others who share this land and who feel the same way. Caring and intelligent.

12. Cheney is taunting us, daring anyone to actually do something about his reign of terror.
And no, the Cheney gang did not chose to ignore the warnings.
They used a few well-known Saudis as patsies to be blamed for 9/11.

As long as enough people deny such well-established facts, the Cheney gang will act with impunity.

16. Thank you! I've been saying this for years - their job was
to keep us safe ON 9/11, not just afterward.

The right wing talking point is that they "didn't know too much about Al Qaeda before 9/11"...WHY NOT? Why weren't you all doing your jobs? Listening to the warnings? Ignoring PDBs?

I wish one journalist would have the guts to ask these questions.

It infuriates me that they get a pass for 9/11 - as if it was inevitable and nothing/no one could have stopped it.

Edited on Tue May-12-09 03:34 PM by Peacetrain
have contacted her Dad about the terrorist dangers??? What these people keeping things to themselves and not telling the incoming administration.

This is beginning to border on treason

EDIT to add:

I heard that on CNN, that she said someone should have contacted her Dad??

18. WTH is she talking about? I assume the incoming admin gets
their info from the NSA, State Dept, Pentagon, CIA, FBI, etc. Is she saying her dear old dad has additional information? And he's withholding?

I call bullshit. But if true, then it certainly is treason.

and Mr.Cheney since you have all of the detainees in Guantanamo for all of these years why haven't you found Bin Laden since torture works..Didn't they spill the beans when you tortured them?
