Cheney: the terrorists want to involve themselves in our electoral process

http://www.upi.com/SecurityTerrorism/view.php?StoryID=20061020-125437-2462r

<snip>

On Oct. 17, Cheney told Limbaugh: "I was reading something today that a writer -- I don't remember who -- was speculating on increased terrorist attacks in Iraq attempting to demoralize the American people as we get up to the election. And when I read that, it made sense to me. And I interpreted this as that the terrorists are actually involved and want to involve themselves in our electoral process, which must mean they want a change."

3. same old bullshit...if so and so wins, the terrorists have won
just more fear-mongering

and as Bush has been busy saying "terrorist attacks in Iraq attempting to demoralize the American people " in one form or another, Cheney must have been reading the weekly talking point paper.

4. Cheney and your little Dog too
That means things will be more peaceful when BushCo is ousted. Does this sound like a good thing?

7. Then it's a damn shame Dick that you haven't found Bin Laden so he
couldn't involve himself in the electoral process. It's a damn shame Dick that your crazy plan to invade Iraq multiplied the terrorists numbers so large that they could have any effect on our electoral process. It's also a damn shame Dick that you think so little of the American voters that you think they would be so shallow and so easily influenced by propaganda just because that's how you won your elections. Burn in hell you bastard.

8. Dear Mr. Cheney,
I don't give a rat's ass what the terrorists think and I will not be maniputlated by what you say they think.

I may be demoralized but it's by your policies more than it is by fear do another attack.

9. Moran. Voting rethug would mean you are letting the terrorists
decide your vote, too, with that reasoning.

Please, I have a mind of my own, what the "terrorists" do has no effect - he's just insulted 99% of the voters.

15. I think the "writer" Cheney refers to is a writer who was quoting Cheney.
Cheney said it, someone quoted him in an article, then Cheney repeated it to Limbo.

I might be wrong, but I think I'm right about this.

16. So, the USS Cole was an attempt to influence the 2000 election?
Makes sense to me ... the terrorists got their recruitment poster out of the asshole who took office 1/20/2001 ...

18. That would be Adnan Khashoggi of Iran Contra fame....
....And even though Mr.Khashoggi has wielded so much
influence in Washington,D.C.and is connected to both the Bushes and the bin Ladens including as an arms merchant for Iran-Contra,Ollie North,etc. of the 1980's, he reverts back to what he and so many of the ruling class or international con artists,arms merchants or carpetbaggers see as class privilege,the defrauding of the peasants with penny stocks with perhaps a little money laundering in the confusion of penny shares changing hands.

Just as he profitted from all his cheap or free Barrick Gold shares and just as Pappa George Herbert Walker Bush who literally gave an estimated 10 billion dollar U.S. gold mine to Barrick Gold for ten thousand dollars profitted in some ways...

And just as George W.Bush benefitted from his Saudi friends in high places,including Adnan Khashoggi and the bin Ladens,when he needed investors in Harken Energy which is no doubt why he was given a
position at Harken in the first place.Promise of an oil drilling concession in the Persian Gulf arranged by his Saudi connections no doubt aided in promoting or 'pumping' up the price of Harken Energy followed by the inevitable insider dumping of shares on investors. Anyway it was at least the first 'clean' money seeing as how the SEC looked the other way,that W Bush probably ever made in his life. ............

Election.com should be examined for the invisible hand of the Saudi financier and CIA “fixer.”

News reports stated Election.com was owned by an offshore Saudi front company in Bermuda consisting of five unnamed Saudi billionaires, until scrutiny forced a sale to Accenture, the remnants of the disgraced and disbanded Arthur Anderson, the accounting firm which made Enron possible.

From a recent Federal lawsuit involving Khashoggi: “Ultimate Holdings Ltd., a Bermuda investment company owned by Adnan Khashoggi, the company's largest shareholder.”

Election.com was also involved in the U.S.’s big democracy push into Eastern Europe…in Estonia, just a stolen vote’s throw away from the Ukraine.............
