I’ve never understood all the absolute vitriolic hate for Dick Cheney. As vice-presidents go he wasn’t any worse than any of the other, and better than several. Agnew, and Gore come to mind. He was definitely smarter than Dan Quayle.
That and the Harry Reid would block it anyway. Even if the Republicans take the senate back by a large enough margin in 2014, the time it would take for the proceedings it’s not worth it for two year.
The Islamic State extremist group (Isis) has taken control of a vast former chemical weapons facility north-west of Baghdad, where 2,500 degraded chemical rockets filled decades ago with deadly nerve agent sarin or their remnants were stored along with other chemical warfare agents, Iraq has said in a letter circulated at the United Nations.
The US played down the threat from the takeover, saying there were no intact chemical weapons and it would be very difficult to use the material for military purposes.
Churchill was an all about winning, total war kind of guy. Using poison gas, starvation blockades, bombing civilians…..

ISIS certainly found the WMDs, so BS.

The WMDs however where there. The good shit was moved to Syria and the current administration has every incentive to minimize what is there now. Our intelligence isn’t that bad, I’m sorry but the CIA, NSA, MI6, GCHQ, and Mossad aren’t all that incompetent.

According to George Bush, there were no WMD. Is he a liar?

“According to George Bush, there were no WMD. Is he a liar?”
Yes, the problem is we don’t know when he was doing it, or not.

Huh?
I was kind of responding to only the comment I quoted, I’m not any of those other guys…I think you’ve got me confused.
In what election for what position? I’ve voted Democrat, Republican, Libertarian, Constitution, and Independent. What does what party I voted for have to do with the price of falafel in Riyadh.
Why wouldn’t they bash Cheney and Bush it’s the only way they can make Biden and Obama look good. I would shutter to think what the world would look like today had Obama been at the helm when 9/11 happened.
Bush (43) and Cheney were great conservative leaders in a liberal world . That pretty well sums it up. Cheney , with his direct style never made many friends but everyone respected him. I sure miss them.
Cheney is a lying sos, who lied and covered up evidence to get us into a war to funnel hundreds of billions of dollars into the pocket of Halliburton. Who promptly moved their headquarters to Dubai, so the American people could not see the war profits they made. Bush was the dupe who let him do it.
It would be so cool to replace “Hail to the Chief” with the Darth Vader theme music for State of the Union speeches…and to watch Vader choke out reporters from the podium while telling them, “I find your lack of faith disturbing”…and to see him “negotiate” with Congress at the point of a light saber…OK, I’m convinced- Darth Vader has my vote.
Not only would Congress have to pass a budget, AND LIVE WITHIN IT, I assure you the government would run much more efficiently under Lord Vader’s reign.
The real question here is why does Princess Leia score two points below her fellow Rebel heroes? Sexism? Or are some conflating her with her portrayer, and upset over the whole Paul Simon situation?

“In fact while Clinton has a major leg up on her “Republican” and Democratic rivals heading into the 2016 election cycle, …”
Make that a BIG, FAT, leg.
Piano leg!
We already had Darth as a VP. He used the name Dick.

Biden is the reason impeachment of Obama has no legs.

Loose association…

Well he and Bush did start a war by lying about WMD killing 5,000 of our troops and tortured prisoners we held. Other than that a great guy.

Who gives a rats flying rear end if we tortured a few terrorist or terrorist sympathizers. They go around cutting heads off for Allah’s sake.

Bonus points: When Saddam was actually gassing people, we blamed Iran.
Double Bonus Points: When Saddam was actually gassing people , he was one of *our* guys.
Didn’t Churchill gas Iraqis in the 30s? Iraqi Kurds, same as Saddam? Or did Winnie just propose or support it?
TBG thinks it was circa WWI.
Hell, everyone was using poison gas back then.
The US was still willing to use poison gas in WWII, if the Nazis did it first…. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_raid_on_Bari

Obviously, you don’t know Dick.

You must have voted Republican
In what election for what position? I’ve voted Democrat, Republican, Libertarian, Constitution, and Independent. What does what party I voted for have to do with the price of falafel in Riyadh.
If you voted for Bush, that explains everything.
Why wouldn’t they bash Cheney and Bush it’s the only way they can make Biden and Obama look good. I would shutter to think what the world would look like today had Obama been at the helm when 9/11 happened.
Now, as straw men go, that’s a pretty good one.
Bush (43) and Cheney were great conservative leaders in a liberal world . That pretty well sums it up. Cheney , with his direct style never made many friends but everyone respected him. I sure miss them.
” I sure miss them.”
Cheney is actually in favor of gay marriage – buy him a ring and pop the question . . .
Cheney is a lying sos, who lied and covered up evidence to get us into a war to funnel hundreds of billions of dollars into the pocket of Halliburton. Who promptly moved their headquarters to Dubai, so the American people could not see the war profits they made. Bush was the dupe who let him do it.
Nah- Cheney is more of a Grand Moff Tarkin. Besides, when Lord Vader decides to shoot one of his friends in the head, it’s no accident…
It would be so cool to replace “Hail to the Chief” with the Darth Vader theme music for State of the Union speeches…and to watch Vader choke out reporters from the podium while telling them, “I find your lack of faith disturbing”…and to see him “negotiate” with Congress at the point of a light saber…OK, I’m convinced- Darth Vader has my vote.

Star Wars: The most overrated movie of all time.
I doubt that young people now could even understand Star Wars.
In Star Wars, it’s the bad guys who send robots to kill people in their homelands.
The nations aligned with Vader thought they were the good guys.
PRO TIP:
Everyone thinks that they (themselves) are the good guys.
Except the Republicans.
Just so long as it isn’t a republican I could care less who gets elected.
This shows how knowledgeable the American Public really is. Hillary and Bill are nothing more than folks that live off of the public’s ignorance.
Well obviously Darth Vader would be popular after the Obama administration ignored the petition to build a Death Star.
Or allowed Solo to land on his planet.
The real question here is why does Princess Leia score two points below her fellow Rebel heroes? Sexism? Or are some conflating her with her portrayer, and upset over the whole Paul Simon situation?
