Former Vice President Dick Cheney canceled a Canadian speaking appearance because of security concerns sparked by demonstrations during a visit he made to Vancouver last fall.
"After speaking with their security advisers, they changed their mind on coming to the event," Ruppert said. He said they had "decided it was better for their personal safety they stay out of Canada."

Wow, my sister in law was sent to Afghanistan - wish I could have said my concerns for her safety should make her stay out!
The dictionary needs to change the spelling of coward to CHENEY.
This man has had so many "terrorists" killed, yet he fears them still and stays within his box. I have never killed a "terrorist", yet I still have no fear of them. Well, you made your bed Mr. Cheney, enjoy!

The question is - has he killed more terrorists or Americans? I guess the Canadians know the answer and that is why he fears them.

1. Their bacon is round.
2. Celine Dion lives there.
3. They're too polite. What are they hiding?

I never liked or respected the Bush administration, so am quite fine with the outcome, but what upsets me more about this story was that some of my fellow Canadians were actually willing to spend honest-to-God real money to hear him speak!
For crying outl oud VPotus the position is meaningless in this country The Potus calls the shots.
Cheney says leaving Saddam in power after Gulf war was a mistake. PNAC begins planning specifics, such as "shock and awe" tactic.
Cheney's Iraq-War clique all belonged to PNAC or IASPS. IASPS advocated regime change to increase Israeli security, while PNAC focused on our Middle East allies but named only Israel. Although the public evidence from these groups indicates that helping Israel was by far the most important reason for the war, Cheney's oil industry connections and a very explicit statement by Kissinger, as well as common sense, indicate that oil must have also been a central concern.
Cheney also addressed the discrepancies between his and Bush's memoirs in the retelling of certain events. In his book, Bush describes sending his advisors out of the room when making the ultimate decision to invade Iraq in the wake of 9/11, while Cheney writes that Bush privately asked him what to do after dismissing the rest of his advisors.
"I can't make that case,'' Cheney said about whether he ultimately pushed Bush into war with Iraq. "We needed to take the action that we did.''
