Dear Dick Cheney: Please slither back into the ground and stay. Thanks in advance, signed Humanity





If former Vice President Dick Cheney was at the helm when Osama bin Laden was killed, some things would have been done differently.

In a Thursday radio interview with conservative host Hugh Hewitt, Cheney was asked whether he would have advised president Barack Obama to "allow the victory dance that occurred and the operational details to come out." Cheney's answer amounted to no.

“You don’t go out and broadcast the fact that you’ve got the guy," Cheney said. "You want to take that intelligence and be able to exploit it over the next few nights, and wrap up large parts of the network. … They were in such a hurry to go out … and announce victory, that I’m convinced that they probably did not get maximum damage out of the intel that they had captured.”

Back in May 2011 at the time of the capture, Cheney credited the Obama administration for its sound judgment in carrying out the mission. But on Thursday, he also appeared to suggest that the president and his staff never really credited the Bush administration for its part in the puzzle. ......................(more)

I guess it's better to make a fuckup look like an accomplishment.

It was one of the most disgusting, obsequious, bootlicking, sycophantic two-way tongue baths I've ever had the displeasure of listening to.

Consider this my public service for the day to DU - going to that cess-pool for the transcript!

"RUSH: Well, you're also missed, if I can say that. I know I speak for millions in this audience. You are profoundly appreciated, and you took all the arrows as pioneers do. You took hit after hit, and you remained who you are, and you remained focused, and there's such an immense amount of respect and love for you out there, and your perseverance here and your devotion to service. You and Rumsfeld both, I mean, you've given your lives to your country. You've taken all kinds of slings and arrows for it, and I just want you to know that I am at the top of the list among people who have a great sense of appreciation for what you've done.

CHENEY: Well, thanks a lot, Rush. That means the world coming from you.

RUSH: Well, I'm flattered, but really it's an honor to have been able to know you and get to know your family and your friends, and we wish you the best, Mr. Vice President. Keep on.

CHENEY: All right, Rush. Good luck.

RUSH: Vice President Cheney, who is going hunting this weekend in the wilds of Wyoming, with live ammo. He's actually gonna take a real gun and actually go real hunting. I thought you leftists would like to hear that."
