Cheney's a Dick
There's only one response, really, to the soon-to-be-felon's Dick Cheney's whining and carping yesterday about those who are calling out his deceptions and lies about the Iraq war. He called us, "dishonest and reprehensible."
Oh really, Dick? Well, I have to concede: if there's anyone who'd know dishonest and reprehensible when he saw it, it's Dick Cheney.
For example, Dick Cheney continued to draw a false and specious connection between Saddam Hussein, al Qaida, and September 11 -- long after intelligence analysts and the government's own Bush-appointed committee had concluded decisively that there was "no credible evidence" of such a connection.
Details that Cheney cited to make the case that the Iraqi dictator had ties to Al Qaeda have been dismissed by the CIA as having no basis, according to analysts and officials. Even before the war in Iraq, most Bush officials did not explicitly state that Iraq had a part in the attack on the United States two years ago. But Cheney left that possibility wide open in a nationally televised interview two days ago, claiming that the administration is learning "more and more" about connections between Al Qaeda and Iraq before the Sept. 11 attacks. The statement surprised some analysts and officials who have reviewed intelligence reports from Iraq.
Along with the contention that Saddam Hussein was stockpiling weapons of mass destruction, President Bush, Vice President Cheney and other top administration officials have often asserted that there were extensive ties between Hussein's government and Osama bin Laden's terrorist network; earlier this year, Cheney said evidence of a link was "overwhelming." But the report of the commission's staff, based on its access to all relevant classified information, said that there had been contacts between Iraq and al Qaeda but no cooperation. In yesterday's hearing of the panel, formally known as the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, a senior FBI official and a senior CIA analyst concurred with the finding.
As recently as Monday [June 14, 2004], Cheney said in a speech that Hussein "had long-established ties with al Qaeda."
That's not me being opportunistic, you Dick. That's just repeating your own deliberately deceptive, knowingly false statements. And that's just for starters, you traitorous, evil son of a bitch. Dishonest and reprehensible? Yes sir, Mr. Cheney: you're quite intimately familiar with what dishonest and reprehensible looks like. And I can only hope that for the sake of our country, you're soon intimately familiar with what the inside of a federal prison looks like. (Maybe we can send the evil, lying son of a bitch to Guantanamo, where he can argue in favor of his own torture.)

A close source says that working in Gauntanamo is an "eye opening" experience.
Props once again to all men and women currently serving men who have abused their power and privilege.
