Ah, Cheney. Two weeks in and he wants to KEEP STRIKING fear on people...

You should thank him. If he wasn't squawking occasionally, you would have nothing to post about.

This article has made me facepalm so much.

Given how much I talk about anime here, I gotta say not only you're trolling, but you're also WRONG. :p

He's a former member of the Executive Branch, it is his job to run around and annoy people.

Citing intelligence reports, Cheney said 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.”
So almost 90% of the people you kept were not terrorists? Wow. It's pretty bad when you give information that defeats your own cause.

The anime stuff puts us to sleep. Face it, without Bush in office, it's just not as exciting...

He's Dick Cheney. His job is to die a slow, painful, inglorious death.

He's just grumpy that they made him move the torture chamber out of the white house.

And nobody's happier than me that you're not an otaku. Now will you actually post something that has any meaning to the thread at hand or will you admit you just came here to yank my chain in the hopes of adding something to your life that's not entirely unlike meaning?

He's a former member of His Own Branch, it is his job to run around and annoy people.

Fixed.

He's Dick Cheney. His job is to die a slow, painful, inglorious death.
From the moment that each person is born, they begin the process of dying a slow, painful, inglorious death. So he's got that covered pretty well.

It doesn't have to be slow, painful OR inglorious.

I find it interesting that Cheney should do the same thing that the Osama bin Laden videos do, warn of future terrorist attacks. It's like having twice the Osama bin Laden!

Citing intelligence reports, Cheney said 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.”

To be fair to Cheney, it said that 11 or 12 percent have gona back to being terrorists. For all we know the other 90% might have seen the error of their ways and given up terrorism.

In no way am I condoning terrorism or Cheney or Guantanamo Bay, I'm just pointing out the error in your logic.

By it's nature, life is pain. I suppose it doesn't have to be slow (one could always receive the benefit of SIDS), but in Cheney's case it has been quite slow and taken quite a while (he's even extended the process several times, just for your benefit). As far as inglorious? Well I can't think of a much more humiliating fate than to be locked inside a rotting hunk of meat for a century or so, too afraid to escape and gradually coming to love your own hideous existence.

If only. That guy (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ab6LWXeNDA) had style, man, and buckets of sex appeal. The only thing I've got buckets of are eels.

I find it interesting that Cheney should do the same thing that the Osama bin Laden videos do, warn of future terrorist attacks. It's like having twice the Osama bin Laden!

Cheney weighs about three times as much as Osama, so it's like 4x the Bin Laden.

To be fair to Cheney, it said that 11 or 12 percent have gona back to being terrorists. For all we know the other 90% might have seen the error of their ways and given up terrorism.

For all we know, the 11 or 12 percent could have never been terrorists, but are committing acts of terrorism now as revenge.

Cheney is a better shot, IMHO. Bin Laden totes that AKSU-74 around, and there's no indication that he's ever hit anything with it.

Cheney, on the other hand...

Not sure that counts, I doubt he was aiming at the guy he shot. Unless of course Cheney really thought that guy deserved to be shot, or was a quail.

I think he meant it.

And the Busheviks cry "terrorism" as usual. Seriously, Cheney needs to go on a hunting trip by himself.

But hey, if President Sauron is really a closet ebil mozlem trying to turn Real America™ into a Caliphate™, won't that actually discourage those ebil mozlemz from hitting the country?

To be fair, Cheney was squawking similar bullshit (Vote Republican or Terrorists Will Strike in America Again!!!) during Presidental elections. Whether it was against Kerry or Obama I forgot, but it reeks of the same pathetic demagoguery as Giuliani's "9/11!! 9/11!!" chants.

Psst... don't let facts ruin their moment. Every Real American™ knows all dark-skinned Muslims are telepathic drones linked to Bin Ladin and that only dark-skinned people harden towards a life of crime upon release from prison.
