Never Feel Secure When Cheney Is Missing

Many have wondered where Dickhead Cheney has been, since he has been out of the spotlight the past few weeks. Well here is one thing he has been up to. From the The Washington Post.... Vice President Cheney met Thursday evening with three senior Republican members of the Senate Armed Services Committee to press the administration's case that legislation on these matters would usurp the president's authority and -- in the words of a White House official -- interfere with his ability "to protect Americans effectively from terrorist attack." And apparently this isn't the first time he has attempted to influence decisions made by Republican Senators who dare to think for themselves. It was the second time that Cheney has met with Senate members to tamp down what the White House views as an incipient Republican rebellion. The lawmakers have publicly expressed frustration about what they consider to be the administration's failure to hold any senior military officials responsible for notorious detainee abuse in Iraq and the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Can someone please explain to me how protecting prisoners from abuse and holding military superiors accountable takes away protection from the American people? Furthermore, the administration also.... bluntly warned in a statement sent to Capitol Hill on Thursday that President Bush's advisers would urge him to veto the $442 billion defense bill "if legislation is presented that would restrict the President's authority to protect Americans effectively from terrorist attack and bring terrorists to justice." If this restricts King George's authority GOOD. He is too damn stupid and incompetent to have this unlimited authority, and Dickhead Cheney is too damn dangerous to be allowed to pull the puppet strings. MORE....
