I think Cheney wants the same thing we want right now
A trial.

Its the only way I can explain his recent "No Apologies" tour.

The man wants to be put on trial. Its the only explanation I have for his tendency these days to appear on TV spouting his mouth off.

I firmly believe Dick Cheney wants to be arrested, put on trial, and he thinks he'll be acquitted.

He wants a big battle and something the base can rally around and a Dick Cheney trial would be in his benefit. Plus he thinks it would repair his legacy. He wants to use rules of evidence to bring out all kinds of documents that show the documented lies of this administration. He left a trail of papers to justify his actions and he wants to use them in a court of law.

Its my only explanation for his bat-shit insane behavior as of late. The thing is he's delusional. If he were put on trial, I'm pretty sure he'd be convicted.

w on the other hand has been in trouble his whole life. He knows the deal, hideout for a while till things quiet down.

1. Why is Cheney out and about so much lately? You think maybe
a bank has foreclosed on his underground bunker?

3. No the man has more money than he knows what to do with.
Haliburton did very well under his administration and I'm sure he was compensated.

This is about Cheney wanting to get approval from history.

4. He wants a terrorist attack so that he can be on record saying "I told u so"
The man is just plain evil.

5. i dont think so.
Edited on Sun May-10-09 08:27 PM by bullimiami
years of getting away with everything has convinced him he can act with impunity.

he admits to the crimes publicly knowing the results of the torture make no difference in his guilt.
he is daring anyone to do anything about it and he is sure they will not.

i tend to agree with him.

7. He's a true believer. Also aware of presidents not going after past one, so it is a dare
Seems we have to emphasize loudly how torture doesn't work, how timeline to wring link between Iraq-Al Qaeda (not in face of new enemy).

Ends justifies means crowd thinks necessary.
