Cheney is inciting terrorism.. and the media is helping him.
"Anything that happens now is Obama's fault" is the push... Isn't that a bald faced, direct invitation to every single nutcase in the world?

24. In my experience, life is much better with MSM turned off
I don't miss it at all. My stomach is not in knots. I sleep well. I love my dogs and neighbors.

I seriously recommend it. Especially Fox and MSNBC.

5. Brewer was just talking to a guy from Politico who interviewed
cheeney and they played some clips of cheeney one of which said that "this time the terrorists won't be carrying a ticket or a box cutter, they'll have a nuclear or biological agent." I'm paraphrasing but that's the gist of it.

11. Then They Got It When He And Silverspoon Were In Charge
If it's "anything" then they would have had to be acquiring those weapons while Bush & Cheney were in charge. So, by definition, it will be their fault.

6. Here's the source:
Edited on Wed Feb-04-09 10:23 AM by Subdivisions
http://www.politico.com/


Former Vice President Dick Cheney warned that there is a “high probability” that terrorists will attempt a catastrophic nuclear or biological attack in coming years, and said he fears the Obama administration’s policies will make it more likely the attempt will succeed.

In an interview Tuesday with Politico, Cheney unyieldingly defended the Bush administration’s support for the Guantanamo Bay prison and coercive interrogation of terrorism suspects.

And he asserted that President Obama will either backtrack on his stated intentions to end those policies or put the country at risk in ways more severe than most Americans—and, he charged, many members of Obama’s own team — understand.

“When we get people who are more concerned about reading the rights to an Al Qaeda terrorist than they are with protecting the United States against people who are absolutely committed to do anything they can to kill Americans, then I worry,” Cheney said.

33. I imagine he is correct
And I imagine that the money they stole from us will fund the aggressors and the nuclear missile that "accidentally" went missing from the Air Force will play a role too.

8. The Best Defense Is An Offense - Rove & Cheney Must Be Getting Worried.....
I'm thinking that this bastard is squirming because he knows that the Obama Admininstration is going to probe into BushCo's actions over the last 8 years. So he is throwing crap out there in order to try and diffuse that. I heard the same tease on MSNBC and that's the first thing that came to mind.

They need to put these war criminals away. That's the only way we'll put a stop to this crazy talk.

I've heard nothing about it. I googled it and came up with nothing but weather forecasts and city statistics.

26. Thanks!
interesting reading if anything. I really can't conjecture on exactly the connections between all of these deaths, but it is fun (and a little disheartening) to read DU members belittle each other for even considering "conspiracy theories".

Thanks again for the links.

29. You're welcome. The reason we have conspiracy theories is because
we have had so many conspiracies throughout human history. In fact, we a nasty little creature when it comes to power and money.

You know what one victim of the most famous conspiracy in history said? "Et tu, Brute?"

As long as humans are alive and screwing up the planet, we'll have conspiracies and conspiracy theories. You just got to pick and chose what you believe.

Yeah, this particular instance is something. Try to figure the odds on that many people with such close connection biting the dust in such a short time. The math on that would be something.

30. and yet we still have those who refuse to believe
that our government wouldn't possibly kill its own citizens for the benefit of their own goals. I'm not saying that this is the case concerning the deaths of those at Minot, but you are right it does raise eyebrows.... at least for me.

21. Yes, we definitely need to reduce the terrorist threat.
So, lets start by holding war criminals/war profiteers accountable for being asleep at the wheel leading up to 9/11.

32. Is he still in his wheelchair?
Doesn't sound like the evil fuck is in any pain, which truly makes me question my faith. IF there was a God, Dick Cheney would have festering painful pustules all over his body and would writher in pain for the rest of his doomed days and the fact that he isn't, means God doesn't answer all (my) prayers.

He and his "base" should be arrested, they are a grave threat to public safety.
