"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. "

It appears that cheney, and I expect bush and others from this group, will not go away and continue to stoke fear among us.

Isn't it odd that Cheney fears Obama's policies will make it more likely that a nuclear or biological attack will succeed when it was his administration that pushed for the Dubai ports deal which would have placed the security of our ports into the hands of a middle eastern country.

Personally I think that if an attack does occur, it will have less to do with Obama's policies and more to do with how the Bush administration stoked the fires of Muslim hatred for the US with its actions over the last eight years.

Lets all pray that an attack like this does not occur for once it does, it will matter very little who's fault it is, WWIII will begin.

Bush was only in 8 months when that happened. It was the result of 8 years of Clinton dumbing down and raping the intelligence community that left the door open for 9/11. Not 'Bush policies'. The threat was always there.

Bush and Cheney created the threat to America in the last 8 years.

Uh ... no. America, our allies, and our interests were repeatedly hit prior to Bush43 taking office. USS Cole. The Marine Baracks. The Embassy bombings. The first World Trade Center attack. The plan by radical Islamics to dump 12 airliners in the Pacific Ocean. etc etc etc

VERY GOOD POINT. Considering that Bush43 and his administration were supposed to be tough on security - they weren't. The Dubai Ports deal and our wide open borders prove that.


My question - WHY is Cheney speaking up? He is out of office. He has nothing to do with anything anymore - supposedly. Is he just yammering because he can't get used to retirement or does he still have some kind of power base in DC and this is part of some shadowy tactic?

As was previously said - Even Joe Biden can see the writing on the wall with an upcoming attack. It's pretty damn obvious.

My favorite quote from Cheney on this is:

“The United States needs to be not so much loved as it needs to be respected. Sometimes, that requires us to take actions that generate controversy. I’m not at all sure that that’s what the Obama adminstration believes.”


It is a keen insight to just how delusional / or full of cow crap the man is.

Loved or respected, huh Dick? Well sadly we are now neither thanks to your wonderful neo-con ideology and political machinations.

The idea that 'controversial' actions will lead to us being respected is pure BS. Our renditions, gitmo-prison, abu gahrab, and the like have all made us look like barbaric nut cases, controversial they may have been, winning us respect they did not.

My personal opinion is that
Che4ney, Rumsfeld, and Pearl were some of the last ranks of the true neo-con army and this is a last desperate gasp, or shall we call it a death rattle from a failed and dying ideology

Flyers have you forgotten Bush was repeatedly warned and ignored it?

Bush briefed on hijacking threat before September 11 (CNN 2002)

The White House had (at least ) 28 Advanced Intelligence Warnings Prior to 9/11

Hmm, so the dumbed down Clinton administration was able to detect the threat and the form it owuld come in yet they are the ones responsible?

Please, the length some go to to avoid having to accept uncomfortable truths is just ridiculous.

Bush was warned repeatedly and ignored it, lied about it, and then used the aftermath to further his political/economic agenda. Don't try to pass of Bush's legacy of failure on Clinton.

No evidence???


It marks the first time the White House has acknowledged there was a warning of a potential hijacking linked to bin Laden prior to the terrorist attacks in New York and Washington.

Wooooah, what? Let me get this straight, Bush is to blame for everything and the previous 8 years of Clinton had nothing to do with it? I'm afraid you need to brush up on your history. It was Clinton's policy of fighting a war with legal actions was part of the failure. The second failure was Clinton removing troops from Somalia, which led to the "Paper Tiger" declaration from Osama. It was Clinton who failed to do anything about Osama's build up. How you can blame all that on Bush is a mystery to me.
