Huffington: Cheney's Lies Will Catch Up to Him

"For instance, it's not a very smart idea to go around saying that Richard Clarke missed the warning signs on bin Laden and 9/11 when there is email after email after email from the spring and summer of 2001 showing that it was actually Cheney and Bush who ignored the warning signs on bin Laden."

To wit, from "Cheney Blames Richard Clarke for 9/11: 'He Missed It'" at thinkprogress.org

When the moderator reminded Cheney that Clarke had repeatedly warned the administration about al Qaeda's determination to attack the U.S., Cheney snarkily replied, "That's not my recollection, but I haven't read his book."

In fact, it was Cheney who "missed" the warning signs, not Clarke. New York Times reporter Philip Shenon's book, "The Commission: The Uncensored History of the 9/11 Investigation," reprinted some of Clarke's emphatic e-mails warning the Bush administration of the al Qaeda threat throughout 2001:

"Bin Ladin Public Profile May Presage Attack" (May 3)

"Terrorist Groups Said Co-operating on US Hostage Plot" (May 23)

"Bin Ladin's Networks' Plans Advancing" (May 26)

"Bin Ladin Attacks May Be Imminent" (June 23)

"Bin Ladin and Associates Making Near-Term Threats" (June 25)

"Bin Ladin Planning High-Profile Attacks" (June 30)

"Planning for Bin Ladin Attacks Continues, Despite Delays" (July 2)

Similarly, Time Magazine reported in 2002 that Clarke had an extensive plan to "roll back" al Qaeda a plan that languished for months, ignored by senior Bush officials:

Clarke, using a Powerpoint presentation, outlined his thinking to Rice. In fact, the heading on Slide 14 of the Powerpoint presentation reads, "Response to al Qaeda: Roll back." The proposals Clarke developed in the winter of 2000-01 were not given another hearing by top decision makers until late April, and then spent another four months making their laborious way through the bureaucracy before they were readied for approval by President Bush.

Cheney needs to check his "recollections" before blaming former employees for the single most devestating attack in American history.

Here's what happens when you get caught fucking a goat;

Step 1: Deny that you were even in the same pasture as the goat.

Step 2: When it is found out you were in the same pasture as the goat, deny that you fucked the goat, you were only kissing it.

Step 3: Deny that you denied fucking the goat.

Step 4: Deny that you denied Denying.

Step 5: Hey look, Obama is a black man.

adrianna huffington my ass..

and your bullshit will catch up to you as well

and so if they are lies

TELL OBAMA TO RELEASE THE MEMOS AND WE can all see for oursleves and not be told something by some REDHEADED BIMBO who married into her money...

doc

ever one you come up with I can come up with another

clintons own man as well as the guy in one of those spots right now say otherwise

release the memos and let us see for ourselves..

Cheney's lies won't catch up to him because americans don't really care. They'll complain about it and it will be all over the interent and on a few tv shows but he'll still die a natural death and then some books will come out and trash his personal life and be a best seller-- bought by those who secretly oogle the front page of Enquirer everytime they are at the supermarket checkoutline.

It's nearly hysterical that when Cheney refers to an intelligence document that he says used the term "relationship" to describe bin Laden and Saddam.... turns out that the doc says "there was no relationship"... which makes Cheney technically correct.

Too bad Obama's won't.

"ever one you come up with I can come up with another"

Oh, I'm sure you can. A link would help, though, it being well established on the DR that anything you relate as something you've recently "seen," "heard," or "read" involving news is apt to be ever so slightly skewed; that is, reported by you, here, with wildly hilarious inaccuracy. But, please, go ahead and give up the link. Or just keep humming "Purple Haze."

Cheney's lies will catch up to him????

""adrianna huffington my ass..""

The 30% who still love Cheney will not be deterred by facts. Cheney can swear to God that 9-11 happened on Clinton's watch and that 30% will stand right behind him and cheer because facts don't matter. Never have, never will.

DICK CHENEY, is a fucking War criminal, hopefully before the year is out either the French or Spanish will bring charges against this FUCK an other members of the bush Administration for crimes against humanity. These fuck can run but they can't hid. History will not be as kind to these fucks as the mind dead idiots that constantly defend these fucking WAR CRIMINALS.

AMERICA, has a short memory, 9/11 happened on the BUSH/CHENEY watch. They were warned about Ben Laden but chose to run thier government on the ABC principal....ANYTHING BUT CLINTON, this dislike of the Clintons blinded these fucks to a point that they refused to listen when warned about the terror treat until it was to late. These are FACTS, someone once said that any idiot is entitled to his or her opinion but not to thier own set of FACTS...

Aflakbibblebubbleskeedaddlekin s -

Point out one misstatement of fact in the piece -- not by Cheney (the article brims with them) but by the author.

DANNI....You are right that 30% would also be against anyone who Obama nominated for the Supreme Court, even if he Nominated Newt Gingrich, those Fucks would find a reason not to vote for him....The bottom line is with these fucks Partisanship come before Country, they preach Country first but never,never live that way....

DOC SARVIS...AFKABL2, just doesn't like facts getting in the way of a good story. FACTS, FACTS AFKABL2 DON'T HAVE TO SHOW YOU NO STINKING FACTS...He a Fucking Conservative Republican, FACTS don't matter...........

Still, Celisary, I'm constantly amazed how someone like him can post so much bullshit, get nailed -- when anyone actually bothers to grab the hammer and spike and do the job (as pointless as it is) -- and just keep going like the Energizer Bunny, completely ignorant of and blissfully uninterested in facts. Oh, right, no brains, just batteries. Eureka!

And with his new found penchant for upper case and foul epithets, he's starting to resemble Oozie more than ever.

Guess that shows what they say is true - that the older you get, the more childish you become.

SA - Probably also a function of having not very much to say, wallowing in self-pity, and being consumed by anger.

And with his new found penchant for upper case and foul epithets, he's starting to resemble Oozie more than ever.

What do you mean "newfound"? Celery's been doing the foul epithet/all caps thing since I've been an active member here which is over 2 years. He definitely gets the "most in need of a quaalude" award on the DR.

But unfortunately Ish Kabibble is the far more ubiquitous of the two, and therefore the worse offender, in my book.

Cheney is a war criminal. why hasnt he been charged yet?

"He definitely gets the "most in need of a quaalude" award on the DR."

Compared to AKFLABL2????

Ridiculous.

His nonsensical posts are bizarre and worth scrolling past.

MOST in need ha ha hah

Go crawl back under your rock, Ashkababble

Does that mean the truth about WTC 7 will come out?

Cheney's Lies WILL catch up with him?

Try "They already have".

His well orchestrated campaign of lies, propaganda and misinformation are well documented by now.

His latest hysterical, historical revisionism tour is just extra icing on his FAILcake.

At this point there are only really two types of folks left in America. Those who know Cheney lied and want him held accountable and those who know he lied but don't care, won't admit it or think those lies were somehow neccessary in order "to keep us safe!"

Be Well.

When Cheney finally croaks Huffington probably won't have a job. What else does she have to write about? Talk about obsessed.

But unfortunately Ish Kabibble is the far more ubiquitous of the two, and therefore the worse offender, in my book.

So you'd rather have a one big rock dropped on your head than lots of pebbles? A single does of H2S at 250 PPM rather than several at 5 PPM? One giant flash of of light to the eyes rather than several candles?

Celery is by far more offensive as in pure anger. BL2 (though admittedly more upiquitous) is just silly and inane. There is no way you can compare the two.

I'd much rather spend my time aroud a silly person than an irrationally and perpetually angry one.

But that's just me. Your milage may vary.

Celery is by far more offensive as in pure anger.

#28 | Posted by goatman

I would have agreed with that at one time. But if you've followed Ish recently, he's turned into one very angry old man. Like waaaay beyond hey you kids get off my lawn angry. And just because he throws in the occasional joke or anecdote, it doesn't really ameliorate his new-found hate.

Newfound hate isn't as bad as lifelong hate IMO.

"I'd much rather spend my time aroud a silly person than an irrationally and perpetually angry one."

So you wouldn't want to hang out with Dick Cheney I guess.

Oh yes. As in religion, new converts are generally much more zealous than the lifers.

Celisary v. AFK-BABBLER?

Well Celisary is angrier sure but he's also smarter, better informed and essentially far more correct in his arguments.

Babbler is not just silly, he's seriously stupid. He can't even half remember his Rush given talking points correctly and his stream of conciousness postage is oft time too painful to read due to sheer ill logic.

Spud'd much rather spend his time around someone who was angry and smart and well informed than someone who's cheerful and dumb and overburdened by simplistic talking points.

Maybe just Spud there.

Be Well.

"Oh yes. As in religion, new converts are generally much more zealous than the lifers."

Apostates are the worst. Take David Horowitz...please.

Well, I'm not going to defend BL2. In my eyes, he's just silly, some hatred, yes, but nothing like the raw, seething, rabid and frothing anger that I see in celery. Think about it. Have you ever seen a post of his that didn't scream and curse and spew epithets full of hate? I may have seen one or two, but that's it.

But as I said, that's me. You are certainly entitled to your opinion and I respect that, sanan.

The only argument Celery has is "quit watching FOX." FOX this and FOX that. Regardless of how retarded FOX is, that doesn't mean he is smarter, better informed and essentially far more correct in his arguments. Really if the guy could go one thread without going on about FOX.

Well Celisary is angrier sure but he's also smarter, better informed and essentially far more correct in his arguments.

???

He puts forth arguments? I've never seen one. The closest I've seen to that is him agreeing with someone. The rest is raw hatred. How deth can judge intelligence by screaming caps, excessive punctuation marks an an occaisional, "I agree with you Danni" is beyond me. Must be that blind partisian hack thing again.

Wow. What a surprise.

I just went to several day's worth of celery's pages. I guess deth thinks screaming hate is an intelligent thing to do. I've no other explanation for his claims upthread.

NEWS FLASH: North Korea to launch new missle; Left Wing Media still asking of Cheney's whereabouts on 911.

NEWS FLASH: Great Britain govermnet collapses; Left Wing Media asking questions about Haliburton.

Sorry, bucko, but the thousands upon thousands of dead and maimed just won't allow you to ignore the tar baby with which your masters got ensnared.

Is still funny to watch those that Cheney continues to fool.

In a pathetic way of course.

Can we piss on Cheney's head yet?

The strangest piece of all of this is that there are people who still will try to say that Cheney didn't lie.

His numerous flip-flops are on video all over the place and we even have some of his biggest defenders here. I have to wonder why?

Does Cheney have a shotgun aimed at your face as you type the rubbish that passes for his 'defense'?

We tried during the Sixties when we had to fight people like you to get our Civil Rights when we had to fight people like you to allow us to vote

I am for civil rights. Have always said so. So why woud you fight people who were for civil rights?

Here's another chance to prove to us you are a liar, celery. LOL Break your promise again, OK?

Sudan offered to arrest Bin Ladin in 1996 ...Bill Clinton turned them down even though he was on the FBI's most wanted list. I get so tired of Libs trying to pin all the 911 crap on Bush. I guess Franklin Roosevelt is a fuck up too he let the Japanese attack pearl harbor when he had warning from Churchill. Side note...Cheney is openly for gay marriage now I thought the libs would start to cut him slack for this lol I guess there is still a lil flavor left in the bash bush/cheney gum.

Of course no one could make this comment on your HuffPo site Arianna because you "Censor & Delete" everything that isn't in line with your (disguised) right wing politics!!!

That Cheney should be tried & waterboard is indisputable...any other deflection is just that ~ a deflection.

Cheney's lack of credibility.

When Arianna Huffington speaks you know people listen. She commands all the respect of a Socialite turned Socialist. Now she's the self appointed gatekeeper of the land of leftist history and she's scared that mean old Dick Cheney is going to be vindicated in spite of everything the left did to paint him as a villain. Boo hooo.

The worst thing that can be said about Cheney is he was over protective of the United States and it's people. The left must be painfully aware that the 'Cheney invaded Iraq so that Haliburton stock would go up' storyline hasn't worked for some time, Huffy is in a lather because she really fears the truth.

Arianna Huffington, how funny. She sounds like Cruela DeVille, but she's rich so the liberals grovel at her feat. Socialists are the most wretched materialists, they want everything they can grab and tell the people they are stealing it from it's 'reform'.

"The worst thing that can be said about Cheney is he was over protective of the United States and it's people."

I don't find that charge minor at all. Many despots and dictators have used that very reasoning to abuse their power.

And Goaty, you're doing a good job at proving Celsary's point about why he gets so frustrated and resorts to yelling and cursing. The technique of directing and deflecting the argument to minor details and semantics that have no real relation to the point being debated is one of the Right's major tools.
