Cheney: Lieberman Loss ‘Disturbing,’ A Victory For Al-Qaeda
thinkprogress.org — Cheney told reporters yesterday, "The thing that ’s partly disturbing about it [Lieberman's loss] is the fact that, the standpoint of our adversaries, if you will, in this conflict, and the al Qaeda types, the they clearly are betting on the proposition that ultimately they can break the will of the American people."

When is Cheney going to understand that, in a democracy ...
"it is OK for people to disagree with you, it doesn't make them your enemy, this is the case even if they vote against you"
make him write it on the black board 100 times -
Where's Osama... Dick?
-
Considering how little the average American person knows about this conflict, I think information about our history with al Qaeda and Bin Laden is far more disturbing.

Typical rantings of a madman coming to terms with losing power.
-
to quote the jogger in new orleans, "***** you mr. cheney!"
i know that adds nothing to the discussion, but this guy sickens me. i guess that means i'm an al-qaeda sympathiser that hates freedom. -
All conjecture. Let me show you a site that says we never landed on the moon, and other sites that show aliens live among us.... just conjecture. But I will get dugg down anyway. Still conjecture....

What a scumbag
He can go to hell -
Once a dick always a dick!

People keep saying "At least Bush can't get elected again in 2008."
And then I remember Cheney. If the words "Cheney administration" are ever uttered by a press secretary I swear I will move within the month. The idea sends a shiver down my spine. It would make Bush look like Gandhi. -
the sleaziest part of this story is that Cheney made the comments with full knowlege the British were going to go public with the foiled terrorist plot soon after:

Disgraceful. -
By Democracy being successful and the people voting in who they want the terrorists are winning!

Step 1. As secretary of defense, recommend the military increase logistics services contracts. Step 2. Become CEO of the largest defense logistics services contractor - get stock options. Step 3. Become Vice President and help start a war. Step 4. PROFIT!

This is hilarious, the loudest bitching about L-mans defeat are the neocons. I can understand, he was a good pet and nobody likes breaking in a new one.
1. They see this as the Democrats focusing towards populist rather than liberalism and that's scary to the agenda.
2. They see a majority growing who no longer fall for the BS.
Cheney and Co are afraid and the worst part of that is wondering what they will do next to get the train back on the tracks..... -
When people vote and chose one candidate over another, that is the will of the people. Mr. Cheney, go ***** yourself.
-
I hate Dick Cheney
-
To Dick:
STFU. -
Do I get this right - if democracy still works in the US of A, that means Al Qaeda are winning???
WTF, Dick?
I have a better explanation why and how Al Qaeda are winning: http://www.zefrank.com/theshow/archives/2006/08/081006.html# -
If Cheney's against it, then it must be good for America! Hear that Lieberman? Stop playing around with this independent bid stuff... just listen to your inner Dick and run Republican. You know you want to. I hear there's an opening in Sugarland, since Delay ran away to Virginia.
-
The will of the American people isn't broken. It's just that the way the war is being fought is all wrong.
Imagine a bank on fire, and the fire chief is pointing the hoses at a pond and not the fire. Meanwhile the fire chief directs the firemen to run into the bank and take all the money for themselves while the fire burns the bank down. Are we just supposed to stand around watching, and pretending the fire is being put out?
It's time to elect people who know what the heck they're doing. I refuse to be scared into submission by this vice president who thinks the American people saying they want new leadership is helping the terrorists. What a load of crap. -
cheney is a communist =0
-
Stop misquoting + biased source
Dugg down as inaccurate -
i'm sure the estimated 320 billion dollars (that's the lowball estimate, mind you) that we've already wasted in the middle east and the hundreds of billions more dollars we are going to need to fix the mess that cheney wanted so desperately to make out there is great for america, then? just like leaving a major city in ruin for days before there was finally a federal response was great for america?
in cheney's mind, the only thing that's good for america is killing all the dark ones. -
I heard someone say that Cheney is George Bush's bulletproof jacket.
-
i love dick cheney
-
arg! doesn't anyone else here hope cheyney shoots himself in the face for saying such idiotic and fear-mongering comments?
***** you cheyney, you are a piece of **** -
What's sad is that the party of Truman would choose a millionaire corporate executive over the child of Polish immigrants.
-
Cheny cares about the will of the American people?
Was this before or after he raped and robbed us blind through Halliburton?
The real reason we haven't caught Bin Laden yet is because Cheney is actually Bin Laden in disguise... -
I think that Cheney and Co are actually happy Lieberman lost. Lieberman has pledged to run as an independent. If he does and gets even 10 or 15 percent it could be enough for the republican candidate to win. The republican machine will be hammering Lamont and cozying up to Lieberman and laughing all the way to their victory in Connecticut
-
Cheney needs to be brought up on war crimes charges, the sooner the better.
-
Lets set the record straight. There isn't enough money to pay for both the war and the welfare state. All the big institutions promoting the welfare state want to kill the war, and all the big commercial interests supporting the war want to kill the welfare state. Hence, the democratic party is getting ripped apart. (the republicans will catch hell too, but not as much)
IMHO, Most Americans are fed up about their finances, and that is spilling over into the war debate. IMHO, the democratic party is doomed, the Republican party will likely split into two parties to fill the void. -
Send the bastard to Gitmo along with the rest of the terrorists whether they are Islamists, Al Quedas, or Republicans.
-
This ***** needs to disappear.
Does anyone know the average lifespan for Pacemakers? -
He forgot to mention that al-cia-da loves The Bill of Rights.
-
I can not stand another second of this backwater yahoo's gung-ho america crap....
Does Cheney really think that anyone in Iraq knows who the hell Joe lieberman is??? -
Yah yah yah sure old man. Time for your pills.

We needed Lieberman to protect us from evil enemies we can't see or understand.

Let's just sit tight and let people suicide bomb us in our country. That sounds cool. We should play it safe. I mean, it isn't like the groups we are fighting believe in order through two means. 1)Convert everyone to Islam (you say whatever you want people probably wouldn't like that). 2)Kill those who oppose
I don't agree with everything the leaders of the US do, but c'mon guys, these people hate us for what we have. They believe we're devils because of who we are. Our ability to sit here and flame our leaders, to dicusss our differences. These people do not care who you are and what you think. If you aren't progressing the cause of radical Islam, then you have to be destroyed.
Take a minute, think about what you think a radical Islamic person would do if they were standing right next to you. What do you think they would be thinking? I'm not saying they would lunge out at you at that moment. I don't see these people trying to teach us their values. They evidently skipped that step. Maybe they just feel we have too many freedoms in our abilities to come to our own conclusions. I don't know. Just understand that there are some people trying to act in the best interest of those they govern. Do they ***** it up? Yep. Have they done some good? Yep. The arguing and descention that our national political parties are doing here is really encouraging to the people that hate us. They feel like as soon as someone else comes to power we're going to drop our endeavors and just go about our merry ways. We were doing that in 2001 as well. It could have been Gore for all I care. Probably would be the Republicans bitching all the time right now, making every statement without regard for the interest of safety but instead because it is counter to what those in power believe in and they just have to win the next election. This party system blows. One party says something, the other HAS to disagree as a whole, and if you don't, gl Joe. -
Because it is not in line with their religious beliefs, that's why. Look at Afghanistan pre and post Al Queda in power. They couldn't listen to music. We allow women to show their faces and speak their mind. There's a ton of other things, those just stick out as the most readable.
-
Al Queda should be Taliban, I didn't change my post in time
-
Granted this is from wikipedia, but this sort of sums up what I was trying to express,
"To Al-Qaida in particular, the world is viewed as a struggle between their Islamic ideology and a secular Western ideology"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Militant_Islam -
Irrespective of whether the actions of the Bush presidency ultimately prove to be beneficial or not, I think it's dangerous for everyone to have people in power who are seemingly so vehemently opposed to other views. It's one thing to have the courage of your convictions and to stand up for you beliefs but to be so totally closed to others and to attack them in such a way is just wrong. This sort of politics (which is not just restricted to the Republicans or even just America) seems to assume that there is 1 solution to problems - their solution. Anything else is branded as wrong, evil or even unpatriotic. Sadly, the current set of Republicans seem to be the prime proponents of this sort of behaviour.
I'm viewing this as a UK citizen it should be added. I don't want to get drawn into a political argument, frankly I think the political landscape as a whole is becoming morally bankrupt. -
another [elephant's] ass. a particularly mean one...
-
Story is inaccurate. When will you political ***** stop posting misleading ***** to Digg. If it's a Bush/Cheny, Clinton, or other political bashing article then state that from the begining. ***** tards.
-
I find it "disturbing" that the Vice President Of The United States even said this.
So I can't vote someone out of office if I disagree with them and feel that someone else could do a better job? I feel that I may be confused as to how I am supposed to think and react. -
"Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger."
-- Herman Goering -
He looks evil in that picture

stop whining, grow a sack.

GREAT LIES of Bush/Cheney that the mainstream media fails to identify:
* Lie: that the War in Iraq == the War on Terror. Wrong: the war in Iraq is the _distraction_ from the war against terrorists. Taking Saddam out for Cheney was more about getting billions in no-bid contracts for his company Halliburton.
* Lie: that wanting Bush & Cheney brought to justice for their criminal acts is either support for the terrorists or anti-American. The first thing I want to change Bush & Cheney with when they're arrested is gross criminal negligence and incompetence resulting in death (manslaughter) for every American and Iraqi civilian who have died in Iraq because of the war that was (1) without just cause, and (2) imcompetenly managed by the civilians directing the pentagon. The crime of killing Americans is the same reason I want to fight terrorists, and why I don't want massive distractions from fighting terrorism like Iraq.
There may be laws protecting the president from arrest, but I don't think they apply to the VP. Enough people show up in DC and mass citizens arrest Cheney he could be removed from power and tried pronto. -
Bottom line: Cheney is clearly concerned about the impact a growing anti-war movement will have on his career. He is concerned only about the success of his failing, and misguided, Iraq policy. He is grasping at straws and hoping Americans will fall for his argument once again.
-
Wow. You people boggle my mind. I've never seen more biased political left-wing ***** on one page before. The idea of thinking Dick Cheney is a monster is completely hilarious to me. He looks like my grandfather.
