<snip>

Q We deeply appreciate your steadfastness in emphasizing the importance of this war on terrorism to our public.

THE VICE PRESIDENT: Well, it's just vital that people not forget 9/11. And the thing that happened on 9/11 is we began -- we adopted a whole new strategy and treated these terrorist attacks as, in effect, part of a war against the United States, which clearly they are. And it is a global problem. We've got people now, some in the Congress suggesting we shouldn't call it the global war on terror. Well, I don't know what else you'd call it. It's clearly global.

We had -- just this week there were attacks in Algeria and Morocco by al Qaeda, bombings that were aimed at killing innocent civilians. It is a global conflict, by anybody's measure. And it is clearly against some of the world's worst offenders, and Iraq is very much a part of that. It is, right now, the central front on that global conflict.

1. What's this 9-11 thing he's talking about? I can't seem to recall

Must be all that librul media!

[C_U_L8R]

I hear they have tasty microwave burritos

wash em down with slurpee

oh headache

[jedr]

11. , I thank him for reminding me; almost completely forgot about it

:sarcasm:

[rfranklin]

2. Dick Qaeda speaks...

You Cheney are the top terrorist on the planet right now.

[City Lights]

8. "Dick Qaeda"

:rofl:

[bananarepublican]

32. Cheney should be put on live TV, hooked up to a polygraph, and then....

... asked some pertinent questions about his role before during and after 'The New Pearl Harbor'!

[Junkdrawer]

3. I agree, but not for the same reasons as Cheney...

Too many unanswered questions....

Too many bizarre coincindences....

Too many obvious motives unquestioned...

[Blashyrkh]

31. Indeed.

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

4. Vital for WHOM???

I haven't forgotten it- I also haven't forgotten that Osama is a Saudi, and that Saddam never EVER had anything to do with 9/11, and that the "leaders" of my nation have illegally attacked an innocent soverign nation by using its memory as an excuse.

Nope, I haven't forgotten for a moment what this is all about.

[partylessinOhio]

5. It is only vital that we continue to question the truth about 9/11

because we still don't have it.

[ORDagnabbit]

6. we dont and we will pin your neo-con asses for letting it happen one of these days!

[Mz Pip]

7. Tell those terrorists

to read the memo. They all should be in Iraq. Cheney says so. We're fighting them there so they don't have to fight them in Morocco, Algeria.

When will they read their emails?

Mz Pip
:dem:

[seemslikeadream]

9. Don't worry

I won't

[Jack Sprat]

10. 9/11 will always be remembered as THE alibi

used by the Bush/Cheney administration for waging a war of aggression against Iraq to gain control of their government and privatize their oil instead of: A great tragedy for those killed in a terrorist attack in NYC, their families, and the residents of that great city.

Hello Darth Cheney: Why didn't you attack Saudi Arabia instead of Iraq?

[TheCowsCameHome]

12. If I call 911 will the police come and put Dick in jail?

If so, I'll call twice.

[City Lights]

13. So he's a professional scab picker now.

Gawd forbid the nation's wound should heal. Keep picking, Dick of Death.

[Disturbed]

14. It is disgusting that this Vampire has any creditbilty with

anyone on this planet.

[truth2power]

36. That's it in a nutshell..

A REAL leader would be helping the nation to heal. Going on 6 years now, and they're still ramping up the anger and fear. Enough already!

He should STFU! He couldn't lead a one car parade. Worthless POS! :evilfrown:

[KansDem]

15. I'll remember Bush sat and did nothing after being told we were under attack...

That I'll never forget...

[indepat]

16. It's important people not forget the catastrophic security failures on 9-11 and the

actions and deportment of certain elected and appointed officials at the very head of government on that day.

[slowry]

17. .

[maxsolomon]

18. i'll never forget you assmunch

i'll never forget how * ran & hid all day.

i'll never forget how my boss told us to get back to work.

i'll never forget how you & * reacted out of fear & played directly into OBL's hands.

i'll never forget being told i was a traitor for doubting your stupid, obvious lies.

i'll never forget how you botched an opportunity to respond to Al Queda's hatred with love - the one weapon they could not have planned for.

i'll never forget you, *, fox news, and RW hate radio into scaring my parents into voting for you twice.

i'll never forget how many iraqis we've killed, how many we've displaced, all because of *'s fear & psychological issues.

you're a despicable human being, and i pity your grandchild having to grow up with your shadow looming over their lives.

[mcscajun]

19. I will never forget 9/11, or the incompetent assholes that brought us to it.

OR that they used it almost immediately to start stripping us of our freedoms and going after the wrong target in a war, Bush's War, built entirely on LIES.

I will never forget the images, the loss, the victims.

How can I? The last time I saw the towers was on my way to work on 9/11/2001, and they looked much like this, but seen from the NJ side and a bit farther away:

I got turned around and fled for home, and arrived just in time to see, on television, the North Tower's collapse.

I will never, ever forget.

Bas-TARDS!!! :grr:

[bdamomma]

41. the day the PNAC agenda took place, and we have been going

downhill ever since. I truly believe that this despicable regime we have did this. They have no remorse and no compassion for the American people. From Katrina (as far as rebuilding and supporting the people of New Orleans) Iraq and Afghanistan, they just don't care.

[Bluebear]

20. 9/11? Oh yeah, that just totally slipped my mind.

:eyes:

[AzDar]

21. ..." ' Cause if they do, we may have to order another...quaaaack."

[Ezlivin]

22. "And the thing that happened on 9/11 is we began..."

Yes, Dick? Go on...

We know you began something on 9/11, all right.

You began removing the rights afforded us by the Constitution.

You began spying on Americans.

You began using lying as a public policy.

I can't wait until you begin your lengthy prison sentence.

[gratuitous]

23. Yes, don't forget 9/11, people

Remember how scared and confused you were? Remember the feelings of panic and hopelessness as the towers came down that awful morning? Remember your helpless tears? Because that's the feeling that Cheney and Bush and the rest of their crooked cabal want you to keep uppermost in your mind forever. A scared populace is one that can be fleeced. If you're confused and feeling helpless, that makes you easy pickings for a bunch of conmen. Go back to that feeling, because it makes it so much easier for them to get away with whatever they want to.

Sorry Crash Cart. We haven't been scared for a long time. Mostly we're pretty angry. And tired. And unlike you, who have profited so handsomely from this war without risking anything, we're grieving our losses of troops and treasure. In a just world, you'd meet Mussolini's fate.

25. Well, then! Let's send troops to Algeria and Morocco! WHAT A MORON.

[sakabatou]

26. And don't forget POLAND.

[nadinbrzezinski]

27. My god for once I agree with the VEEP

but I am sure my reasons to remember 9.11 are not quite what he wants me to remember it for... something about sheer incompetence and we have really not looked under every rock as to WHY it happened.

You sure you want me to remember it and ahem, ask questions?

[Warren DeMontague]

28. I think the LAST thing "some in congress" need to worry about is the NAME to give your clusterfuck.

How's this for a name, Dick? "Osama Bin Laden"

And where the fuck is he?

[marmar]

29. To quote Obi-Wan Kenobi:

"He's more machine now than man."


What a Dickhead!

[magellan]

30. It wasn't "some people in Congress" who said it shouldn't be called the WOT, Dick

Publicly, it was your good bud (ha ha) Rumsfeld who started referring to it as "the global struggle against violent extremism" back in July 2005.

And then your boss (ha ha) Bush** said "The United States of America is engaged in a war against an extremist group of folks" in August 2006.

And let's not forget, Dick, that it was again your boss (ha ha) Bush** who started the renaming ball rolling by saying in 2004: "We actually misnamed the war on terror. It ought to be the Struggle Against Ideological Extremists Who Do Not Believe in Free Societies Who Happen to Use Terror as a Weapon to Try to Shake the Conscience of the Free World."

The rest of what you have to say is just more fear-mongering hooey, Dick, so I'll leave it at that.

[bananarepublican]

33. As Borat would say, "... I fully support USA's war of terror."!!! Think about it. n/t

[and-justice-for-all]

34. How can I forget 9/11....

...But I think someone needs to kindly remind his dumbass(well, he knows) that Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11 and that he and his pet have actually shielded the country that the terrosist actually came from, SAUDI ARABIA. 15 of the 19 were in fact Saudi.

Dont hear much about Saudi do we?? Hmmm, its not cowinky-dink either.

35. Shiny, the 9-11 Pony!

Yes folks, you thought that horse was dead, but nooooo. Uncle Dickey isn't done beating him just yet! Come see Shiny! The 9-11 Pony:

37. That was a Question?

:eyes:

[bdamomma]

38. this jerk has got to go, spewing up propaganda every chance

he gets. He has no credibility is correct. What a vile evil man.

[maine_raptor]

39. I remember September 11, 2001.

I also remember December 12, 2000.

[Canuckistanian]

40. "Bin Laden determined to strike in US" I remember that, too.

You might not want us to remember TOO many things, Dick.
