Has anyone in the media pointed out the problem with Dick Cheney,

[Julien Sorel]

a guy who still thinks there are WMDs in Iraq, attacking anyone on the issue of national security? One would think that his credibility on the topic is in desperate need of burnishing, before he could be considered an effective attack dog.

This guy is widely seen to be the "mastermind" behind a foreign policy that led the U.S. to invade another nation on false pretenses, and a policy that has seen our credibility with our allies around the world erode to historic lows. It's like they are leading with their chin.

1. Considering his popularity, he should be made the poster boy...

for the "catastrophic success" in the White House. He's seriously paranoid and the majority of America realizes that. Which is why he is kept in his spdier hole so much of the time. I think he needs to be brought out into the light of day.

2. his sneer shows how he feels about peons

I love him! He is the true face of the GOP.

The more folks see of this slavedriver, the better.

Condi-- scowl
Cheney--sneer

3. I think he needs to be brought out into the light of day.

He needs to do time... along with the rest of the neocons.

They beat us with the national security club, over and over and over... I just heard Pat Buchannan lay it all out regarding the neocon takeover of our govt. He beat them up pretty good... I just may have to get his book... Where The Right Went Wrong. He seems to have a pretty good understanding of just what is taking place here.

Zell Miller is an asshole btw. Pardon my French.

A French investigation into $180 million in bribes paid by oil companies to government officials in Nigeria threatens to implicate US Vice President Richard Cheney, according to reports in the French and British press. The conservative French daily newspaper Le Figaro wrote last month that “the Paris court contemplates an eventual indictment of the present United States’ vice president, Richard Cheney, in his capacity as former CEO of Halliburton.”

Cheney's links to defense contractors and the intelligence community have made him suspect among human rights activists. Halliburton and Brown & Root have played a role in some of the world's most volatile trouble spots. These include Algeria, Angola, Bosnia, Burma, Croatia, Haiti, Kuwait, Nigeria, Russia, Rwanda, and Somalia.

It's no surprise that the Hoover Institute figures prominently in Bush's campaign team. George W. Bush's choice of Cheney as running-mate has already sounded international alarms, as journalists and non-governmental organizations begin to unravel the web oil-industry influence in Bush's campaign. (Those ties also extend to natural gas giant Enron. See Bush Gets Layed)

"I believe they are the ones that are pushing the privatization of the electric and oil industries in Mexico," Osorio told Corporate Watch, referring to US corporations. "With Fox as president it may be that we start moving in that direction. However, this is not something that Mexicans are likely to accept," adds Osorio.
