Dick Cheney, National Security Wizard, Wins The War of Words With Biden


     


Biden is full of hot air. Joe Biden's mouth has been spewing the rhetoric of opportunism, truth bending, and flat out lies. This administration loves to use revisionist history in taking credit in both economic and foreign affairs. As you will see below, the video shows both Joe Biden and Barack Obama stating that they were adamantly against the surge. The other video shows Dick Cheney defendiing Bush policies on ABC's This Week. I am so sick of this me, me, me mentality where Biden, Obama, and the rest of their administration takes credit for policies that they clearly had nothing to do with, and in fact repudiated. Obama and Biden should both be praising and ashowing that they're proud of our brave soldiers overseas but instead they are looking to fulfill their self indulgences, personal gratification campaign, and furthering their political agendas. How utterly despicable! Biden should be displaying gratitude for the sacrifice that our troops made during the successful surge in Iraq. Yes, that is what turned around the war in Iraq. But, no, they can't give Bush one iota of credit of success for anything. MSM political pundits and the White House officials have misapplied Iraq success to the Obama administration when both the soldiers and Bush deserve the crdit for the successful surge in Iraq.
The Obama administration continues to play the Bush blame game. The Obama administration has issues with it needing a false sense of self gratifiation. They also continue to display a childish naivety in refusing to accept responsibility for both actions and inactions with relation to problems that have been both created and exacerbated by this administration. Cheney did an excellent job at pointing out the differences in the cases of the shoe bomber and the underwear bomber. The shoe bomber incident took place only a couple months after 9/11, when military tribunals were not already in place and Eric Holder's law firm continually represented the terrorists and challenged the legitimacy of military tribunals all the way up to the Supreme Court. But, nine years later the military tribunals are in place so it is only proper to try our enemy in front of a military commission. Dick Cheney explains how this administration has chosen in a nonsensical manner to limit the tools that they can use to keep us safe from another terrorist attack. Cheney tells us what he believes is necessary to keep this country safe instead of this adminstration's weak policies of accommodating and appeasing our enemies. In my opinion, Dick Cheney wins the war of words, and the national security debate hands down.






The Cowboy Way


King Obama sits on his throne in his sinister lair with his computer right by his side, amidst the mountainous terrain in Poland. Obama has capitulated to Russia and squelched the Missile Defense System that was promised to Poland. The only reason Obama would veer off in this drastic direction is that he has gone looney. Obama traded Russia gold, and the U.S. received mere peanuts in return. The snake(Obama) has made a back door deal with Putin and supposedly promises to create a better Defense Missile shield while stringing Poland along at the same time.

All of a sudden, Obama sees a bright orange light. Clear as day, Its a missile. The orange light gets much brighter, bigger, and even bigger. With his computer Obama fgures out the missile will hit Poland in about 6 hours. He says, AaaaHH!! Its coming at me!! OMG, meanwhile there's NO missile defense shield to protect him or the surrounding area. Well, gosh dangit, Maybe Bush was right afterall? The Missile Shield would have been a great idea!! Maybe, I could save Poland from a horrible disaster with my messianic powers? But, he thinks... I can't betray my fellow fascist, thuglike dictators- Putin, Ahmadinejad(will refer to him as Imad), and Chavez. They are my bros. What the heck has Poland done for me lately? Nothing. Poland has only sent soldiers into Iraq and Afghanistan and supported the Patriotic USA loving Bush. I can't be a part of any of that. I'll just leave Poland to deal with that drat missile.




King Obama fleets off in his commando type plane in warp speed to a far off hideaway place located in Iran, to meet his good budddies Imad, Putin, and Chavez. King Obama's good buddies lead him inside a cave, what is supposed to be a safe place for an extended stay for all of them. Obama says Gee, this kinda looks like the layout of Club Gitmo. A rock falls on his head, and as the iron bars come down, Imad says, The terrorists liked it so much we thought we'd replicate it specfically for YOU. King Obama says, What the hell? People call me the One. Some even call me the messiah. The door closes and through the little window, Obama's so called good buddies tell him, We knew that you were weak. We used you so that we could rule the World. We're much better manipulaters and liars then you are. Plus, that God complex irks us to no end. Imad, Chavez and Putin say, Your way too much of a Christian for us. Obama said, Oh! No! That Christian jargon was just an act and a complete cover up during the election, to get me elected. A says, Oh Well Shit happens. There are only enough riches in the World for us three amigos to sponge off of.

Within an hour Biden receives word from the secret service that Obama has disappeared from Poland. Then, a message comes through from Chavez, Putin, and Imad saying, we have your cowardly pussy of a President. We are holding him until you relinquish all rights to the fortune of America. Biden says, UH! We don't have fortune in America. Haven't you heard that there's a global recession that started with the U.S.? Putin, Chavez and Imad say, Is he really a man? He didn't put up a fight at all. Biden says, Of course, Last I checked, he was a man. Biden says, We need the One, We'll get call you back. Meanwhile all of the national security were in the process of trying to think of a plan to rescue King Obama. Biden says, How about Bush, Cheney, and Chuck Norris? Wicked Witch Pelosi says Hell No! They approve of the use of that enhanced interrogation technique crap. Biden, says, It might be torture, but it works. The Wicked witch Pelosi states, I won't be a part of this unethical business of rescuing the President. The wicked witch goes flying on her broom back to San Francisco.


Biden calls the cowboy trio and they are willing to use their tactics to rescue King Obama. A few CIA agents accompany Bush, Cheney, and Norris to Iran to rescue Obama. Chuck Norris uses his expertise in Karate to capture the Iranian guards. The CIA start the process of gaining intelligence information using a new and particularly vicious enhanced interrogation technique adapted from the works of the late Douglas Adams.






In record time, they find out the exact location of where King Obama is being held. The CIA agents, Bush, Cheney, and Norris are outside of the cave where Obama is being held. They all used lethal force against the guards. They finally figure out the combination to get inside the cave. They have found King Obama. King Obama asked, How did you find me? We used CIA agents to gather intelligence using EIT's. Obambi asks, How ethical is that? Then they think to themselves, with comments like that, should we leave him to fend for himself? Then the CIA, Cheney, Bush, Norris drag Obambi outside.






An hour later King Obama finally remembers to tell Biden that there there is a huge orange missile heading straight for Poland. What should we do? Bush said, Why not tell Biden to dispatch some F-22 stealth fighters to intercept the missile,and shoot it down? Obambi states, that sounds like a good idea.

Another hour later, Biden does just that. First, the military intercepts the missile and shoots it down. Then the military headed to Iran and they bomb, bomb Iran. They kill all three of the rogue brutal dictators Putin, Chavez , and Imad. And, King Obama is now safe and sound on his throne in Washington D.C. Thanks to the skilled CIA agents using EIT's, Chuck Norris's karate skills, and Bush and Cheney.

Hotel Gitmo: CIA Got It Right & Kept U.S. Safe

My good buddy Rush and I would like to inform you that there will soon be some vacancies at this first rate hotel due to previous occupants leaving. Rush and I would like to invite all of you to the primo vacation spot in the world.Our wonderful guest(detainees) have had the pleasure of experiencing this four star hotel. The spectacular accommodations included a skylight above them and two 17 watt fluoresent-tube light bulbs. And throughout all hours of the day they could listen to the fabulous music called white noise, at 79 decibels. Heck, the residents (detainees) even get a little water spashed on them to make sure that they are hydrated.



CLUB GITMO




Here is some of the fabulous
musical talent at Hotel Gitmo!!!




Eric Holder, one of Obama's Chicago TOP THUGS has just ordered a special investigation of our CIA AGENTS, and how they kept the United States safe for over eight years. These CIA agents were following and carrying out their orders for President Bush in response to the catastrophic terrorist attacks of September 11. Attorney General Eric Holder appointed John Durham, who is a career Justice Department prosecutor from Connecticut. These CIA agents are patriots serving our country and had a duty to protect us from another terrorist attack by gaining information. What the hell do these liberal pansies want us to do in order to thwart another terrorist attack? Libtards just want CIA agents to sit down peacefully with terrorists who are wiling to die for their cause. Liberals think that these terrorists who have been trained on how to kill, mutilate, behead and commit other horrific acts are just going to spill their guts about future attacks. These Chicago pussies have no clue what it takes to keep a country safe from terrorists. They just want to sing Kum Ba Yah and hold their hands and hope everything will turn out okay for U.S.


If I was in the CIA I would refuse to perform any interrogations at all unless I received a pardon from President Obama. This has immensely lowered the morale of our fine CIA agents who are supposed to be protecting us and gaining information to avert other terroristic threats, or attacks. Obama says he wants to move forward but he's not and by him ordering Eric Holder to conduct these CIA investigations proves that. He even said that he wanted these investigations to happen during the presidential campaign.He is trying to have it both ways which is really scummy in my book.


In a Washington Times article , Ben Conery stated regarding Eric Holder, "He made the decision over the opposition of CIA Director Leon E. Panetta and despite the often-stated wishes of President Obama to "look forward" and not become entangled in a debate over the past practices of the war on terror.


In a New York Times article, Scott Shane and Mark Mazetti wrote: "But the strong impression that emerges from the documents, many with long passages blacked out for secrecy, is by no means one of gung-ho operatives running wild. It is a portrait of overwhelming control exercised from C.I.A. headquarters and the Department of Justice — control Bush administration officials say was intended to ensure that the program was safe and legal."




Managers, doctors and lawyers not only set the program’s parameters but dictated every facet of a detainee’s daily routine, monitoring interrogations on an hour-by-hour basis.



"The interrogators’ objective," the background paper says, "is to transition the HVD to a point where he is participating in a predictable, reliable and sustainable manner." The policy was to use the "least coercive measure" to achieve the goal. The harsh treatment began with the "attention slap," and for three prisoners of the nearly 100 who passed through the program, the endpoint was waterboarding.
"Elaborate care went into figuring out the precise gradations of coercion," said David B. Rivkin Jr., a lawyer who served in the administrations of Ronald Reagan and George H. W. Bush. "Yes, it’s jarring. But it shows how both the lawyers and the nonlawyers tried to do the right thing."


Among the chilling details in the documents, titled "Khalid Sheikh Mohammad: Preeminent Source On Al-Qaeda" and "Detainee Reporting Pivotal for the War Against Al Qaeda":


• The identities of key participants in an al Qaeda program to develop the ability to mount anthrax attacks.


• The identities of about 70 people whom al Qaeda had "deemed suitable for Western attacks."

In a Fox News Poll, 94 % of Americans do not want an investigation to happen. So, What the hell happened to Obama's promise to listen to the American people? That went out the window, along with most of his other promises.


"Detainee reporting has helped thwart a number of Al-Qaeda plots to attack targets in the West and elsewhere," one of the reports said. That included plots to fly planes into buildings on the West Coast, setting off bombs in U.S. cities and planning to employ a network of Pakistanis to target gas stations, railroad tracks and the Brooklyn Bridge.



"These documents suggest that enhanced interrogation techniques prevented terrorist attacks and protected our country," said Tom Fitton, the president of Judicial Watch, which filed the request under the Freedom of Information Act.



The two CIA documents that were just recently released, have proven that indeed Dick Cheney was right all along regarding the effectivess of the enhanced interogation techniques.



The EIT's did WORK!!!! The high-amount of effectiveness that the enhanced interrogation techniques had led to an overwhelming domino effect of captures and information regarding future terrorist attacks.


Because of the Fact that Enhanced Interrogation Techniques
Worked Effectively, They Created a Domino Effect.


An article by Rowan Scarborough, in the Human Events Newspaper dissected the recently released CIA documents very well. Here are some facts that the article pointed out:



1) After being water-boarded, Abu Zubaydah started singing like a canary, and revealed the name of a high-value Al-Qaeda member named, Khalid Shaik Mohammed (KSM), as the mastermind of the 9/11 attacks.

2) KSM was captured. And, after being water-boarded he divulged high-value information ranging from how Al-Qaeda operated, ranging from the finances to recruitmant, revealed other attack plans, and the names of other terrorists who had not before been identified. KSM admitted to funneling money to Al-Qaeda operative Majid Khan.

3) The CIA captured Khan, and admitted giving the money to another operative named Zumbair. Zumbair admitted working with Hambali, an Al-Qaeda leader in South Africa who pulled off the horrific 2002 Bali, Indonesia bombings that killed 240 people.

4)Khan's information led to the capture of Hambali, who is now at Guantanomo Bay, Cuba. Then, Khan gave up the name of Hanbali's brother Rasmun Gunawan as his successor in Africa.


5) Gunawan was captured and ended up giving up mega doses of high-value information such as: He provided a vast array of mobs of terrorists to travel to Kurachi, Pakistan for training,and it was in their plans to send KSM to groom them to travel to the U.S. and unleash attacks. One attack envisioned by KSM as an encore to Sept. 11 was to hijack more aircraft and fly them into skyscrapers around the United States.



Other Plots Foiled:

1) KSM had recruited an Ohio truck driver named Iyman Faris-to kill Americans. He was arrested while it was in the planning stages. He was convicted and sentenced to 20 years in prison.

2) Khalid exposed yet another plot that he was conspiring with Sayf al Rahman Paracha to smuggle explosives into the U.S., to bomb buildings in New York City. Paracha was located and arrested before he could set off bombs, and is sitting in Guatanomo Bay, Cuba.

3) Bomb U.S. embassy in Pakistan

4) Truck- bomb the U.S. military base on the Horn of Africa and

5) to fly into airport terminals at Heathrow Airport.

According to the CIA Report titled, " Detainee Reporting Pivotal for the War Against Al-Qaeda", it concludes that "Detainee reporting has helped thwart a number of al Qaeda plots to attack targets in the West and elsewhere. Not only have detainees reported on potential targets and techniques that al Qaeda operational planners have considered but arrests also disrupted attack plans in progress."

Are the Enhanced Interrogation Techniques
the Reason Why We
Have Not
Been Attacked in Over Eight Years?

Blast From the Past: Previous Articles of Mine

A very good blogging buddy named Bunni brought to my attention that she hadn't seen one of my earlier postings. Since most of my blog followers have not seen some of the articles that I posted earlier on this blog, or on my Town Hall blog, which is where I first started blogging, I have decided to give some links to blog articles that I posted previously.

A /t goes out to Bunni for inspiring my idea to post some of my past articles.
Please check out her blog, Amusing Bunni's Musings

Regarding National Security:Obama Blames and Cheney Fires Back

While President Obama claims that he wants to move forward and look to the future he is continually focusing on the past and playing the blame game. Obama has an obsession of pointing out how he wants to distance and differentiate himself from Bush administration policies. At every possible chance Pres.Obama criticizes the Bush administration and loves making a theatrical scene while promoting himself at the same time. Today, Dick Cheney took the opportunity to defend the Bush administration foreign policy decisions. Cheney even had the courage to challenge President Obama on much of his foreign policy rhetoric and claimed that Obama is putting politics before national security.

Cheney gave a very moving speech with an account of where he was and how he was touched and changed on September 11,2001. Cheney expressed how he and others' in the Bush administration realized that they had an obligation to protect Americans and prevent another terrorist attack from happening on U.S. soil again.
Cheney said:
"Part of our responsibility, as we saw it, was not to forget the terrible harm that had been done to America … and not to let 9/11 become the prelude to something much bigger and far worse.That attack itself was, of course, the most devastating strike in a series of terrorist plots carried out against Americans at home and abroad...and then the hijackings of 9/11, and all the grief and loss we suffered on that day.
Nine-eleven caused everyone to take a serious second look at threats that had been gathering for a while, and enemies whose plans were getting bolder and more sophisticated. Throughout the 90s, America had responded to these attacks, if at all, on an ad hoc basis. The first attack on the World Trade Center was treated as a law enforcement problem, with everything handled after the fact - crime scene, arrests, indictments, convictions, prison sentences, case closed.That's how it seemed from a law enforcement perspective, at least - but for the terrorists the case was not closed. For them, it was another offensive strike in their ongoing war against the United States. And it turned their minds to even harder strikes with higher casualties. Nine-eleven made necessary a shift of policy, aimed at a clear strategic threat - what the Congress called "an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States." From that moment forward, instead of merely preparing to round up the suspects and count up the victims after the next attack, we were determined to prevent attacks in the first place."

As many Americans look back and ponder which of the Bush foreign policies including enhanced interrogation techniques worked or didn't work, whether they were justified or not, and whether any of these techniques constitute torture or not; we as Americans while in deep thought must remember the great threat Americans faced on Sept.11,2001.

I believe unless a person has actually has been in President Bush's shoes, or Cheney's shoes in having to deal with the aftermath of 9/11, in which these two officials knew that they had to protect Americans from another terrorist attack, a person would not know for sure exactly how they would have reacted being given the chance to be in that same exact situation. I believe No person has the right to judge the Bush administration in that regard. Even President Obama was not acting there as commander-in-chief on that tragic day, so how can he really know how he would have reacted had it actually been him who was commander-in-chief on that tragic day?

What gives a person the moral authority to judge others' when we have no idea what the "true" intentions of our commander-in-Chief consisted of after 9/11 happened? I believe Bush's interests were in acting for the good of the country in order to keep us safe from another terrorist attack. So, I believe we should give him the benefit of the doubt instead of judging him and others in the Bush administration harshly.

Yesterday, Obama said that the United States reacted out of fear. I know for me, when 9/11 happened that brought fear to the forefront. Were you afraid after 9/11 happened? I think fear in that circumstance was the most natural response a person could have had. As a United States citizen I feared that another attack would happen on U.S. soil. In reaction to this real, imminent and grave threat against the United States the Bush administration felt the need to stop the terrorists over in the mideast before the terrorists entered the United States.

For a President who wants to distance himself as much as possible from the previous administration, Obama, contrary to his mantra, has adopted many of Bush's foreign policy positions. He has adopted re-instating military tribunals, The Patriot Act, Wire Tapping, Iraq and Guantanomo just to name a few. I encourage you to read an article By Charles Krauthammer which includes more information on this topic.
President Obama even reserves the right to use or request the use of these enhaned interrogation techniques when necessary for the safety of our country. If he truly categorically rejects the use of enhanced interrogation techniques and believes that the Bush administration was taking the low road than why is he reserving the right to make use of these very same techniques?

I think that former President Bush and his administration deserve the benefit of the doubt in that they loved the United States so much as to want to do everything necessary to prevent another terrorist attack. That is exactly what happened for the past 7 or so years. I just am thankful that President Obama is adopting many of the same policies of the Bush administration. I say to everyone, let us hope and pray that all things necessary are enacted from henceforth in order to prevent another future terrorist attack.
