The "Dick" Cheney attacks Obama ahead of speech tonight...

[WI_DEM]

Dick Cheney "delivered a prebuttal of sorts" ahead of his nationally-televised statement tonight on combating the Islamic State, according to Business Insider.

Said Cheney: "In a few hours we'll hear what he has in mind for the terrorist onslaught currently in Iraq. We can hope for -- and we should look for -- signs of a forceful, bold, and immediate strategy to defeat ISIS. We can say already, however, that such a plan would mark an abrupt and dramatic departure from his rhetoric thus far."

He added that Obama was pursuing "utterly failed" policies that were "willfully blind" of what is needed to maintain U.S. security.

1. Meh. Sounds like he reads DU.

[still_one]

3. doesn't it though. more dire predictions from some of our associates how Obama will

Will get us into another war like he did Syria, Iran, and the Ukraine

Oh wait, didn't Syria remove all its chemical weapons, and we didn't put boots on the ground to do it.

Far as I know we haven't attacked Iran or Ukraine

Isn't it so much better to criticize the President before we hear what he speak s about?

[FSogol]

7. Exactly. What's Cheney's DU user name?

[fadedrose]

2. I wonder what Letterman will have to say about that

I notice when Obama is unfairly attacked, Dave sort of comes to his aid - like Chuck Todd and his Syria remark on Meet the Press . . .this past Monday nite....

Dave has always had negative stuff on about Cheney, especially that scream from the blond member of the band when Cheney is mentioned....this will give his writers a chance to get Cheney again....

Can't wait to see another monologue about that monstrous man......

On what program will Cheney make his statements?

[fadedrose]

18. Told you .....Letterman DID NOT disappoint...

He said, paraphrasing everything here.....

that he watched the President was on Fox tonight (Thursday) and Fox sure sticks things up his nose, this time about pandering to his supporters, and then Fox pandered to its audience....

Then he said that Cheney said they have to kill ISIS, and Dave suggested Cheney take them hunting with him....

And a wonderful short cartoon skit I should have taped, but it starred President Obama, John Boener, Hagel, I forget who else, and at the end of the credits, it said "brought to you by Geo Bush and Dick Cheney." He really enunciates "Dick" more clearly than any other words he says...

If you get a chance, play Thursday's monologue on CBS. I think Dave does Obama/Dem's more good than all the contributions they get from supporters....

Dave has totally mastered and captured the market on faking sincerity with that marvelous smile of his. I will miss him....

4. The sooner America shuts Cheney up permanently, the better. nt

[DetlefK]

5. The utterly failed policies of Obama that handed Iraq over to a shiite sectarian ruler?

[global1]

9. You Mean The Utterly Failed Policies That Bagged Us Bin Laden....

Now watch my drive.

[tularetom]

6. Which fox show was he on when he said this?

Just more verbal diarrhea from this worthless old POS.

Ignore him.

[libodem]

8. The Necromancer

It speaks.

[global1]

10. Maybe The President Can Commission Cheney To Take ISIL Hunting........

There's a joke in there about 'willfully blind' I think.

Put up or shut up Dick!!!!!

[AtomicKitten]

11. If the Obama Admin had done their job, Cheney would be a pariah.

It was incumbent upon the O Admin to prosecute Bush, Cheney, et. al. for war crimes. In my eyes, that was the president's biggest failure. It is surreal seeing that horrible excuse for a human being popping his head up and passing out war-according-to-him lessons. Feh.

[leftstreet]

12. Why isnt this fucker making his statements from a jail cell?

[951-Riverside]

13. If you can fool half of the fools most of the time...

This is how it works:

When a republican is in office: Most of the left is anti-war/anti-intervention and most of the right is pro-war.

When a democrat is in office: Most of the left is pro-war and most of the right is anti-war/anti-intervention.

During the Bush admin if you spoke out against the iraq war, you were labeled an anti american terrorist sympathizer and of course now that Obama is president and you speak out against war, you are an Obama hating right wing racist.

Neither of the knuckle dragging morons spewing this garbage actually stand for anything moral, to them its all about politics and nothing more.

14. Don't worry Dick ISIS is in its last throes.

[pansypoo53219]

15. since he + georgee fucked his all up by invading iWaq in the 1st place,

WHY SHOULD WE EVEN BE SEEING HIM RIGHT NOW??? why is the media even letting him say a fucking thing? oh yeah. ratings for the war pigs.

[libodem]

16. He has spies all over

The government is infested with plants right up through the alphabet agencies. Everyone is scared to death of him.

[treestar]

17. Sick and tired of their "bold," "decisive" and "forceful" BS

Enough with the macho posturing.
