Cheney Releases Terrorists: Criticizes Obama For Attacks They Mastermind

[bridgit]

Just at the finish of the year, Dick Cheney puts in for the Chutzpah of the Year award:

As I’ve watched the events of the last few days it is clear once again that President Obama is trying to pretend we are not at war. He seems to think if he closes Guantanamo and releases the hard-core al Qaeda trained terrorists still there, we won’t be at war.

As for who released the "hard-core al Qaeda trained terrorists" behind this particular terrorist attack, Dick Cheney has nothing to say. Let's remind him:

Two of the four leaders allegedly behind the al Qaeda plot to blow up a Northwest Airlines passenger jet over Detroit were released by the U.S. from the Guantanamo prison in November 2007, according to American officials and Department of Defense documents.

Speaking for me only. See also Steve Benen ("Dick Cheney is a coward and a disgrace.")

2. No wonder nobody in the Obama admin seriously considers Cheney's opinions

The man's (Cheney) done more damage to our national security than Khalid Sheik Mohammad!

3. Why the hell were THESE guys let out and put in an ART THERAPY program?

What was in the Bush people's minds?

Sure we wanted innocent people let out but not terrorist leaders!

I have a feeling that there was some evil behind the scenes political trading going on for the Bushies to do this.
