Cheney on Iraq and "what if"
by John in DC - 9/12/2006

From Hotline's blog:

Cheney on going to war with Iraq: "If on 9/11 they'd had a nuke instead of an airplane, you'd have been looking at a casualty toll that would rival all the deaths in all the wars fought by Americans in 230 years. That's the threat we have to deal with, and that drove our thinking in the aftermath of 9/11 and does today."

You know, I've often felt this way about my neighbor. If he had had a nuke instead of a really loud stereo, I'd be looking at millions of deaths instead of simply being woken up early this morning.

So, can I kill my neighbor?

1. and if

wishes were horses beggars would ride.

Meaningless bullshit from the meaningless bulshitter

[Canuckistanian]

16. And what if my grandmother had wheels?

She'd get better mileage, that's what.

Give it up Cheney. You're just digging yourself deeper.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

2. My next-door neighbor owns a chainsaw.

He could kill me with it if he wanted to. I guess I'd better kill him first.

[havocmom]

3. He would have been the reason they had one

Sell to any customer with the $$ and destroy the network used to monitor weapons material traffic by outing Ms Plame.

:grr:

[Bluebear]

4. If my waitress this morning served me a nuke instead of eggs....

...there would have been a brazillion deaths in New England. Should I have killed her?

[marmar]

5. Gawd I hate that man...

Every time he opens his mouth, new, even more epic bullshit flies out!

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

6. If it had been the lawyer shooting the gun...

[RufusEarl]

23. Best answer yet !

[truth2power]

37. This should get the award for the best post of the day!..

"If it had been the lawyer shooting the gun." :rofl:

[speedoo]

7. "If, in December, 2000, the SCOTUS had made the CORRECT decision...

Al Gore would have been President and THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN NO 9/11.

Cheney, you lying bastard, go to hell.

[Rex]

If if if if if lielielielielie

I'm so embarrassed and ashamed to say Cheney is the VP. All they do is lie and say 'if'.

Hey stupid Dickless Cheney, 'if' means you have no idea. Just like the 230 years part. Clueless and lost.

[whistle]

8. Cheney is now sending messages to the terrorists that signal

...what the next terror attack must consist of. All we need now Mr Vice President is the choice of locations in America where this should take place.

[dipsydoodle]

9. Expressed in that way

I don't believe his statement to be true.

"Deaths in all the wars fought by Americans in 230 years" would need to include the opponents many of whom were innocent victims. He's talking out of his A-hole as usual.

[OnceUponTimeOnTheNet]

10. Cheney talking about Nukes?!!!

my hair just stood on end.

[babylonsister]

11. Just correlate these asshats' performance with how they performed

during Katrina, and you'll know how full of b.s. he is. I surely don't feel safe at all with these dangerous people at the helm.

[zulchzulu]

12. Cheney WANTS another "Pearl Harbor" to save his sorry ass

How many levels of treason do we need from this twit before we carry out justice...

[European Socialist]

13. What if those Indians had a machine gun at Plymouth Rock?

[Bucky]

24. Exactly Cheney's point. Strong homeland security stops illegal invasions!

We've got to stop those religious fanatics from contaminating our soil like they did in the 17th century.

[Mz Pip]

14. And what if the moon

fell out of its orbit? Boy, we'd really be in trouble. :eyes:

Yes, in the world according to Cheney, you can turn your neighbor's house into a pile of kitty litter.

Talk about a Straw man.

Please, someone, get this guy on some meds. He's delusional and paranoid.

P.S. Dont tell him about the moon. He might want to do a pre-emptive strike.

Mz Pip
:dem:

[Skip Intro]

15. Hey Mr. Cheney, go fuck yourself.

Be scared. Don't question. Do as you're told. Be thankful.

Go fuck yourself, mr. cheney.

[Bucky]

17. Basically Cheney's right. And if they'd had exploding sewer gators...

...there wouldn't be a toilet left standing in America on 9/12! Think about that. They hate us for our, um, bowel movements.

[Anakin Skywalker]

Oooh I'm Really Scared, Little Dick!

A lot of "what-if" fantasy scenarios you have been coming up with in your senility, you old fart!

[napi21]

18. If they had had 4 nukes instead of 4 airplanes Mr. Cheney,

YOU wouldn't have ANY problem, BECAUSE YOU'D BE DEAD! H was in the WH that day, and the Pentagon is just down the road!

[HereSince1628]

19. But, you know what? They didn't. And the likelihood that they could have

had one is very very very low.

We have nothing to fear but fear itself. So Dicky, take the fake scare tactics and shove them into the barrel of your shotgun, shove it up your ass and give yourself a terror enema. You'll see the world much more clearly afterwards.

[Botany]

20. and if i knew my ex was going to become like she did

I wouldn't have married her.

Total garbage ..... from a man who voted to keep Mandela in jail.

[BattyDem]

21. If on 9/11 the government had done it's job ...

3,000 people would still be alive and the New York skyline wouldn't have a gaping hole in it!

[Tellurian]

22. Topics ;ike this must be the subject of dinner conversation

when Cheney is fine dining with his buddies at the local Steak and Brew.
I imagine he equates his ego to the killing power of a nuke!

These people are drunk with power and a danger to every living thing on earth..

[Generic Other]

25. And your point is Mr. Cheney? Didn't you fall asleep at the wheel?

Why weren't ya out there with your shotgun when we needed you. Schmuck.

[AntiFascist]

26. Coded message to their wingnut following....

next time we'll use nukes, then see what happens!

[SammyWinstonJack]

27. And if you and your puppet actually gave a crap about our safety

you would have paid attention to the 52 warnings and the Aug. 6th,'01 PDB and would have done whatever it took too prevent 9/11, or at least warn us that an attack was imminent, you major league a$$hole! See how that works?

[tabasco]

28. Who compromised our top spy operation to find contraband nuke material?

Traitorous Dick Cheney. :mad:

[bullwinkle428]

29. If the Queen had balls, she'd be King! Box-cutter to nuclear

weapon...that's such a simple jump. Why didn't they just stop at Walgreen's for some enriched uranium before they boarded the planes??? :sarcasm:

[Taxloss]

30. Wow, we're basing policy on counterfactuals now?

Cheney is really scraping the barrel here.

[Malikshah]

31. And if Cheney had a conscience, he'd turn himself in for trial.

STFU killer.

[Old and In the Way]

32. If on 9/11 they'd had a nuke instead of an airplane,

then you'd be responsible for your inattention to the threats and warnings prior to 9/11. That wopuld have made this administration accountable for 300,000 deaths instead of 3,000. I wonder if we would have had a real 9/11 investigation then?

[Downtown Hound]

33. Oh shut up Dick!

Your fear pandering is getting sooooo old. It's not working anymore. I'd tell you to take your sorry fat ass and go duck hunting, but I'm afraid of who you might hurt. If you had a nuke instead of a shotgun, well, I shudder to think.

[OnceUponTimeOnTheNet]

34. He sounds rather upset they didn't have a nuke

to use. hmmm.

[TheCowsCameHome]

35. What if his mother had pushed pappy Cheney off that night.

The world would have been a safer place today

[HeeBGBz]

36. Then Chainsaw Cheney could throw away the viagra

Cause nukes are oh so phallic.

[uppityperson]

38. No, kill the family down the block instead.

After all, you know that they have been looking to buy a stereo. Or maybe their relative was.

[lovuian]

39. Cheney pulls out the Nuke thinking thats going to scare us

even more... He's threatening and he's a psychopath
he would burn Rome and watch it burn while he fiddles...

[Imagevision]

40. If our government was doing their jobs perhaps 9-11 wouldn't have happened
