Cheney warns of 'single day of horror'

[mkregel]

Vice President Dick Cheney today said terrorists are "doing everything they can" to get weapons of mass destruction that could kill hundreds of thousands of Americans "in a single day of horror." His comments came in the latest in a series of speeches top administration officials are giving in hopes of curbing criticism over the U.S.-led war in Iraq.

I am getting a distinct "cry wolf" complex here...

[DeathvadeR]

1. ya I'm shakin in my boots.

Dick can suk my Dick, He has increased the chance of an attack happening 10 fold.

[mediaman007]

65. Just how does the rest of the World escape this terror without

Cheney at control. I don't see Norway, Switzerland or Canada arming themselves to the teeth. Why aren't they targets?

Why do we have to be so much safer than the rest of the World?

Everytime Bush* and Cheney open their mouths we become bigger targets. Go figure!

[magnolia]

74. LOL!

Makes me wish I had a dick...just to be able to say that!

[Minstrel Boy]

2. Is that a promise or a threat?

"The next attack is coming," said Cheney to his men.
"And if it doesn't, we can make one happen again.
Every war we've ever been in, was started with a lie,
And this war's good business, so today's the day for you to die."

David Rovics, "The Next Attack"

[tom_paine]

3. Veiled threat

Will LIHOP #2 be nuclear?

One wonders.

[alexwcovington]

8. No, no...

Nucular.

[havocmom]

53. Now that Calif has a Repbu governor

to appoint congressional reps should a tradgey befall congress, I worry about that becomig a MIHOP

[calimary]

86. COULD COULD COULD COULD COULD COULD COULD.

GEEZ am I sick of that. They COULD do this. They COULD do that. Yeah, and I suppose I COULD vote republican. But it ain't gonna happen in this lifetime for me, anyway.

Gee, dick, they COULD be on the moon enjoying the green cheese, too. We COULD be on the verge of invasion by tse-tse flies. Petroleum COULD start spewing out of the White House toilets. YOU COULD start telling the truth for a change. But none of that will happen, either.

[ozymandius]

95. For all we know any terrorist organization may have fissile material.

Looted from all those unprotected Iraqi nuclear energy plants. There are enough jugs of uranium slurry to make a hefty parcel of dirty bombs.

If one goes off - who do I blame? Bush and his incompetent crew, of course, for getting us into this mess.

[The Zanti Regent]

102. Karl is planning it right now

Wonder if it is going to involve California, to give Arnold an excuse for declaring Martial Law?

[Brucey]

4. We already had a single day of horror,

and I don't mean 9/11. I mean the day chimpy took office.

[goddess40]

14. I 2nd that thought

The worst day in American history

[SammyWinstonJack]

94. And every day since?

Every new day is a day of horror of some kind with this ugly evil bunch in charge.

[beanball]

98. I'll second that statement

"the day they stole our whitehouse"

[FlemingsGhost]

5. I'm not afraid.

It doesn't work anymore, Dick.

[Richardo]

6. That lying sack of shit:

"Another criticism we hear is that the United States, when its security is threatened, may not act without unanimous international consent. ...

When did I ever - EVER - hear anyone call for UNANIMOUS international consent. Show me the citation, DICK, or siddown and shaddup.

:grr:

[ReadTomPaine]

7. He's referring to last Tuesday's election, no doubt.

Perhaps he should have considered all of this before outing Valerie Plame.

[sallydallas124]

9. I worry about his sanity

Paranoia, panic - he really needs to get out of that bunker more often.

[soleft]

10. This is a bold face lie. Is this not a bold face lie.

"He also had an established relationship with al Qaeda, providing training to al Qaeda members in the areas of poisons, gases, making conventional bombs."


Weren't the training camps that were in Northern Iraq not within Hussen's control?

[hatrack]

28. Correct - they were in the Kurdish zone of control

And they were run by Ansar al-Islam, a terrorist organization which hated Saddam's guts - along with all the other people and nations they hated.

[Caution]

11. As so well pointed out by Michael Moore (and me in many previous posts)

You are more likely to die of the following than a terrorist attack:
1.) Cancer
2.) AIDS
3.) Heart Disease
4.) Car Accident
5.) Gun Accident
6.) Lightning
7.) Suicide

When it is more likely that a terrorist will kill me than me killing me, then...maybe I'll start to be scared by terrorists. Until then, I'll just be frightened by the loss of civil liberties, the jailing of our population and the death of our democracy.

[Chovexani]

76. Interesting factoid

Last year, more Americans died in freak elevator accidents than from terrorism. So said Mike on Bill Maher's show a few weeks ago.

Psst, Limp Dick, it doesn't work anymore. K?

[Lydia Leftcoast]

93. And in the week after 9/11

an acquaintance of mine, healthy and athletic, died of a blood clot after routine knee surgery.

That put it all into perspective. While I don't care to die in a terrorist attack, there are so many other ways to die, and one thing you learn as you grow older is that anything can happen to anyone, so I'm not going to let fear of terrorism (or the fear of crime) turn me stupid.

[gulliver]

12. Yep. And Cheney brought that day closer.

He and the Bushies have made America more vulnerable and more hated while committing the majority of our Army to occupy a country that was no threat. We have around 135,000 troops in Iraq doing nothing but trying to make Iraq secure. We are spending $160 billion that could have gone to world-wide and homeland anti-terrorist infrastructure.

Cheney is an ass. He fought yesterday's type of war against yesterday's enemy. Osama Bin Laden et al are today's threat, and that threat is now far stronger than when the Bushies took over the White House.

[Nottingham]

13. That sounds like a Threat! Would Cheney attack US citizens

to maintain his power


YOU BET! :bounce:

[smallprint]

15. A 'single day of horror'?

Relax, he's just talking about the day that Ben and J-Lo's new movie comes out.

:evilgrin:

[VolcanoJen]

16. Gosh, I hope the smoking gun won't be a mushroom cloud, Dick.

<<< yawn >>>

Just like Michael Moore says... there is no terrorist threat.

Nice try, Unka Dick, but I'm not going to live my life in fear so that you can continue your unmandated power grab.

[benfranklin1776]

33. Precisely. Playing the fear card relentlessly.

Its the only one left in their empty deck. Actually thanks to Dickies relentless pursuit of PNAC we have spawned a brand spanking new terror breeding ground in Iraq which did not exist before. Thus Dickie and the boys have created that precise type of "gathering threat" which he is beating the drums of panic over. Sorry Dickie it won't work this time. People are waking up to the true ambitions of you and your cronies.

[VolcanoJen]

38. I thought Clark did an excellent job of pointing this out last night.

He didn't seem to get any press for it, or many kudos from DUers, but when he insisted that the policies of the Bush Administration have caused Iran and North Korea to ramp up their nuclear programs, he was spot on.

We've really, really got to carry this message to the voters. Bush's policies have damaged national security. We're less safe now than we were on September 10th, 2001. This is a key argument to counter their constant fear-mongering, and I think it would behoove us if our candidates really started stressing this.

[benfranklin1776]

45. Exactly right.

As Clark and others have noted, far from making us safer they have instead produced the contrary result. Triggering a new nuclear arms race by countries who don't want to be preemptively attacked, providing a fertile recruitment tool for new fanatics with an unnecessary and costly war and worst of all alienating our long standing allies and the people's of the world whose cooperation is indispensable in thwarting the crime of terrorism.

[TreasonousBastard]

17. Screw Cheney!

OK, then, Fuck Cheney.

They have to keep up the fear. It's the only thing keeping them alive.

Personally, I worry a lot more about the U-turns on Route 22. Real scary at times.

[bushisanidiot]

18. Dick, Rove, Woflwitz, Rummy Are Conjuring Up Another 9/11 Scare Tactic For

AWOL's '04 campaign. This is getting old.

<yawn>

[lightbulb]

67. They will make damn sure there is another day of horror

The trend of Bush's approval ratings becomes so clear when graphed out:



Look what happens whenever a massive amount of blood is spilled. September 11, followed by the invasion of Iraq... If the pattern remains consistent it will spike again just before the election. Don't you think the PNAC cabal will do anything in their power to keep the pattern on track?

Dick is just giving us a heads up. Thanks, Dick!

[Wickerman]

19. This irresponsible fear-mongering has to stop

I can't believe there is no one who will call out this administration out on their blantant fear-mongering. Ok, its not fair to say that no one is doing so, but they really need to be shamed into stopping this bullshit. And while we're at it, we might count the ways in which, in a very short period of time, the ineptness of this administration has exponentially increased the numbers of Al Queda and other terrorist organizations that would liek to blot the US of the map. Oh, and how about how our arrogance and seemingly unwilliginess to provide security in Iraq allowed all those WMD to run off in the hands of terrorists?

[stevedeshazer]

32. I'm starting to like their strategy.

As mkregel alluded to in the initial post, there's an element of crying wolf here.

This whole new propaganda blitz to "re-sell" the war to the American public resonates with fewer people every day.

I say we're better off every day in the thirteen months leading up to the election that they keep up this line of BS because by October, 2004 not many will believe this anymore, unless Cheney carries out his threat.

[Wickerman]

61. Agreed, this is becoming the piss ant who cried wolf

but never forget they have the tool to make it all believeable - and they are not only afraid to use it - they are such socio-paths that they are itching to. LIHOP/MIHOP

[ReadTomPaine]

20. Wow hot button topic here, look at the timestamp on all these posts.

[VolcanoJen]

23. We're so damned tired of playing White House "Fear Factor."

It's indeed a hot-button topic, and one I hope the Dem Candidates will seize.

If we don't turn the tide of fear, but quick, the Administration will continue to attempt to run on this issue in '04.

did you forget about the leak yet? Good, says Cheney...


100 posts for ME!

[calimary]

87. Congrats, Maine-i-acs!

Welcome to DU - you're off to a great start, and your point is MOST astute. But to answer the question - NO, WE DID NOT FORGET ABOUT THE LEAK! My congressman certainly hasn't. And if he tried (which he won't - he's Henry Waxman) I wouldn't let him, because I call that office just about every day.

24. BE SCARED! (wild hand gesture) BE SCARED!

25. I feel compelled to repeat - Why did he out Valerie Plame, then?

[gasperc]

26. Yeah, and having 1/3 of our Army trapped in Iraq ain't gonna stop it

YOU STUPID JACKASS, let's have some real efforts against terrorism that will inspect shipping traffic, better screen passengers non-invasively, protect our civil rights, abolish the chemical waepons of all nations.

Cheney, fuck you, you ignorant wingnut gasbag

[arcane1]

27. if true, then outing a CIA agent is even MORE STUPID!!!

these guys are too much, where is Alan Funt? I KNOW I'm on candid camera!!

[Mandate My Ass]

31. Whew, and I thought I was in the Twilight Zone

I'm so relieved to hear it's just Candid Camera. :D

Dick is a putz.

[arcane1]

60. I certainly hope so...

otherwise I'm gonna need Rush's connections just to deal with these lunatics :silly:

[ixion]

29. cheney's resolution: kill thousands of innocent civillians

invade soverign nations, destroy international cooperation and turn the US into a Rouge nation...this guy needs to be locked up, IMO. :grr:

[Sperk]

30. I know I sound like a broken record, just like them, but I'll say

it again. Yes, there will be another attack. My guess, Hawaii, ship ablaze. "Remeber Pearl Harbor!" They have to equate this "war on terror" to WWII, a war everyone thought was worth fighting. World symapthy again (they think), no more questions (they think), scandals gone (they think), UN troops offered (they think), Smirky back at 89% approval (they think).
Think again assholes.
:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

[gauguin57]

37. uh ... don't forget

what happened after the Cheney and the other PNAC boys predicted in their report that U.S. control of the Middle East would come about slowly, unless there were "some catastrophic and catalyzing event, like a new Pearl Harbor."

And then we had 9/11.

So, when Unka Dick talks about a "day of horror," I do get nervous. He and the rest of the PNAC boys, so safely ensconced in the White House, are some scary dudes.

[Saudade]

34. Dick "Head" Cheney

For all their idiotic "macho" talk, the Bush Administration is hell-bent on turning America into a nation of quivering, spineless poltroons who run and hide under the bed ("duct tape") as soon as one of their ridiculous fear-mongers mumbles the magical and meaningless word "terrorist."

I find it incredibly insulting and degrading.

Why don't Americans have enough pride to reject this nonsense?

[Room101]

35. Trying to scare consent into the populace

Don’t pay attention to our countless lies and corruption; you might die a sudden death from terrorists. LOOK the other way.

COLD WAR anybody?

[Drifter]

36. Is Dick doing a John Edwards ...

or what ever that fakes name is that talks to dead people (Crossing Over ?).

Is he going to come out every day and warn us that the Evil DUers are planning the next attack, so that when anything happens, they can yell "SEE, SEE, WE TOLD YOU THEY WOULD ATTACK US".

"Even a blind Chicken gets a kernel of corn every once in a while" - Lyle Lovett, when ask how he was able to land Julia Roberts.

Cheers

[hatrack]

39. In a sick sort of way, this is good news

ChimpCo has already made it clear that the "War On Terror" is going to be the centerpiece of the 2004 strategy. Why? Simple - it's all they've got, and to date, they haven't got much.

Meanwhile, as the general public's skin thickens against the constant drumbeat of "TERRA TERRA TERRA TERRA TERRA" (as demonstrated in Dickie-Boy's speech today, ChimpCo will be forced to up the ante, as they lie and lie and lie again about 9/11, Iraq, Al Qaeda and Osama. Their boys will cry "wolf!" and no one is going to give a tin shit.

Of course, their "I misspokes" will turn up the following day on Page A-22, but in continuing these bald-faced lies, they're leaving baseball bats lying around for any Democratic candidate with guts to pick up for a good old-fashioned rhetorical head-beating.

In the absence of a living, breathing Osama (unlikely) or a sudden flower-flinging festival in Iraq (due to occur at about the same time Britney Spears converts to Islam), lies and plenty of them are all they have left. And, uh, Dick? NO ONE CARES ABOUT YOU OR YOUR REPEATED, RIDICULOUS LIES!

[ReadTomPaine]

43. Tuesday's election has shown one other important asset they have..

Would osama be behind it? People would believe so automatically. And why have we not captured osama yet? And why did we curtail that effort to attack a country that was not a threat to us?

Yep, I think even the sheeple would be asking those questions. And I believe these thugs know that another attack would destroy them, so that's not the plan. The plan is just to keep us too scared to question the pigs. And I think that line has been forever crossed.

[SammyWinstonJack]

96. Nailed it!

Been thinking the same thing. Another attack on this Country would sink Bush*. People would blame him for not catching OsamabinHussein. They just need to scare scare and scare again to deflect the public away from the mess they have gotten themselves and us in.

Somebody screwed up the ability of the CIA to track dangerous materials.
Somebody lied and won't stop lying about the reason Iraq got invaded.
Somebody stands to make more $$ from war and stock options.
Somebody left the Iraqi nuke plants open to theft
Somebody has a history o doing anything to serve his own greed.

Somebody threatening something nasty to save his own evil hide?

58. I heard Cheney's speech this

morning, and he said the same pile of shit about taking the war on terror to Iraq so we wouldn't have to fight it over here. Clap! Clap! Clap! Standing ovation. Then 4 guys got up to take questions. First question was "Where is Saddam". Answer: Nobody knows. Nothing new here.

GEEZ, EP, WHAT A FUCKING SET-UP!!! What galls me is it is SO TRANSPARENT!

75. This is Cheney's wet dream. Let's hope he doesn't turn it into reality.

But I seriously doubt that another 9/11 equals astronomical numbers for *. If that kind of attack happens again I believe even their conservative base will turn on these criminals for self-preservation.

101. Always that terrible possiblity...

[Jose Diablo]

77. And Cheney is helping it happen

By outing Valerie Plame and her network of undercover assets.

[karlschneider]

78. As much as I despise the piece of shit (and everyone in his cabal of evil)

he is probably right. There are plenty of people on the left as well as the wrong ("right") who have admitted the liklihood of some kind of further 'terrorist' attack. Gary Hart has made that claim and he's no wingnut.

Now, whether or not it would occur via LIHOP, MIHOP or simply "out of the blue" probably wouldn't matter (unless one of the first 2 scenarios could be proven) - the upshot is of course what ultimately matters, and I cannot predict what it would be. Many people would 'blame' Shrubco in any case for not preventing it. Given the short shrift given to "homeland security" (what a fukin' joke) it could be a logical conclusion, depending on the nature of the incident.

Few people on the planet are ignorant of how vulnerable our ports and adjacent cities are. Millions of containers arrive every year, a tiny percentage are examined. The border with Canada is over 4000 miles long and impossible to monitor...the southern one is almost as porous in many places and of course there are people ALREADY here who are potential
perpetrators.

But of course it could have a galvanizing effect on Shrub's pResidency. He can say "we told you so." How much the ultimate failure to derail the plot will negatively affect him is a future I can't predict.

Chimpy said "I have no idea" the other day; a moment of rare if unintentional candor. At this point I can only say "neither do I"

I am disappointed, I didn't think the fear factor for the administration would start until Aug. of next year, just before the 9/11 anniversary. The good news, the presidential debate is causing them to spin their way out of control! GO DEMS!

[bpilgrim]

92. then why did they OUT wilson's WIFE - the CIA OPERATIVE working on WMD?

TREASON

The agent in question, Valerie Plame, has been a CIA operative for almost 20 years, recruiting and running undercover agents overseas to gather intelligence on the spread of weapons of mass destruction. That is a critically important line of work, so important that certain nations have even been known to go to war over WMD.

So how did Plame become the target of "two senior administration officials," who exposed her identity to columnist Bob Novak and other Washington reporters?

http://www.ajc.com/opinion/content/opinion/1003/10cia.html;COXnetJSessionID=1Hml9LUd4VA6cRGYTAhB45hq7lGIoV4HeEnWIG8VX1v5FPyRk9Cx!-279304938?urac=n&urvf=10658381171260.618449565474919

Did senior Bush officials blow the cover of a US intelligence officer working covertly in a field of vital importance to national security--and break the law--in order to strike at a Bush administration critic and intimidate others?

It sure looks that way, if conservative journalist Bob Novak can be trusted.

99. WAIT PEOPLE! Don't you know?!?!?!

We must be afraid! We must be VERY afraid so we won't think about the crime of outing a CIA operative that could possibly make the BushCo house of cards come tumbling down!!! Pay Attention!!!! We must not worry over the current administration's crimes, and must focus on the possible demise of our own desparate lives. We MUST continue to subject ourselves to being held hostage to fear!!!!!!!

</sarcasm>

When in the hell is the media going to openly criticize that what was stated in October of last year, what was stated in Bush's speeches from February - March of this year are words that these thugs need to be accountable for in the actions taken that were illegal!! Liars! All of them!

Also, this article, as many of the media whores are still doing, references and uses inferences to associate terrorists, Sept.11 and Iraq as being all one package deal.
