Sad...!

What a sad end! Cheney with a Chinese-made lapel, eyeglasses
made in Italy, and a brain from Nazi Germany!
Polls show he is one of the most unpopular people in US history.

The most powerful (and most hated) VP in US history couldn't hold himself back for more than two weeks after he was shown the door. He came out spewing his venom... AGAIN!

Here is some of what he told Politico in a 90-minute interview yesterday, Tuesday:

- There is a “high probability” that terrorists will attempt a catastrophic nuclear or biological attack in coming years.

- The Obama administration’s policies will make it more likely the attempt will succeed.

- “When we get people who are more concerned about reading the rights to an Al Qaeda terrorist than they are with protecting the United States against people who are absolutely committed to do anything they can to kill Americans, then I worry”

- “These (terrorists) are evil people. And we’re not going to win this fight by turning the other cheek.”

- At least 61 of the inmates who were released from Guantanamo during the Bush administration—“that’s about 11 or 12 percent”—have “gone back into the business of being terrorists.”

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

- “If it hadn’t been for what we did—with respect to the terrorist surveillance program, or enhanced interrogation techniques for high-value detainees, the Patriot Act, and so forth—then we would have been attacked again.”

- “The ultimate threat to the country” is “a 9/11-type event where the terrorists are armed with something much more dangerous than an airline ticket and a box cutter – a nuclear weapon or a biological agent of some kind” that is deployed in the middle of an American city.

- “That’s the one that would involve the deaths of perhaps hundreds of thousands of people, and the one you have to spend a hell of a lot of time guarding against.”

- “I think there’s a high probability of such an attempt. Whether or not they can pull it off depends whether or not we keep in place policies that have allowed us to defeat all further attempts, since 9/11, to launch mass-casualty attacks against the United States.”

- He fears the people populating Obama’s ranks put too much faith in negotiation, persuasion, and good intentions. “I think there are some who probably actually believe that if we just go talk nice to these folks, everything’s going to be okay.”

- On what he dubbed as “The trillion-dollar so-called stimulus bill”: “It looks to me like there’s a lot of stuff in there that has nothing to do with stimulus – it’s a sort of a wish list of a lot of my congressional Democratic friends.”

- The potential consequences of $1 trillion in deficit stimulus spending: “It’s huge, obviously – potentially huge. You worry about what ultimately happens to inflation. You worry about what’s going to happen to the ability of the government to borrow money. … I’m nervous.”

- On whether the Bush administration should have done more about the economy: “We did worry about it, to some extent. … I don’t think anybody actually foresaw something of this size and dimension occurring. It’s also global. We only control part of the world economy – a very important part.”

- On the chance of progress in the Israeli-Palestinian peace process in the foreseeable future: “I think it’s unlikely.”

Pfffeeeew! Glad there's a term limit for the US executive branch!!!
