Dick Cheney's Campaign Of Treason Is Unraveling

Dick Cheney's Campaign Of Treason Is Unraveling

Since at least last May, I have been unveiling the efforts of extremist right-wing politicians and pundits to signal our enemies in Al Qaeda that now is the time to strike (See: The Republican Advance Team For Terrorism http://www.newscorpse.com/ncWP/?p=1278 ). They have been waving their arms excitedly and shouting to anyone who will listen that America is less safe and, therefore, vulnerable. They have been partnering with their pals in the press to make sure that the message gets out. And they know full well that the enemy is paying attention...

...Dick Cheney is the de facto leader of this forward brigade. He outlined the theme over five years ago when he said:

"Terrorist attacks are not caused by the use of strength; they are invited by the perception of weakness."

And ever since Barack Obama took up residence at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Cheney and his comrades have endeavored to produce the very perception of weakness about which he pretended warn. The question is, how does announcing to the terrorists that our nation is weaker make us safer? Are they just pasting a big bulls eye on America and hoping for an "I told you so" moment? I desperately hope that that's not the case, but there aren't many other plausible explanations.

Finally, some in the media are beginning to recognize the danger into which Cheney et al are leading us:

Keith Olbermann: "We are at war," Dick Cheney came down from Mt. Megalomaina to announce, "and when President Obama pretends we are not it makes us less safe." If Mr. Cheney believes we are at war, then he, as the most recent former occupant of the vice-presidency is under the strictest obligations to put aside his case of terminal partisanship and rally to the support of his president at a time of war. Instead his remarks not only give encouragement to the enemies of this country, they give them an exact measure as to how successful they have been in damaging our freedoms.

Jonathan Alter: The problem I think we have now is sort of crystallized by former Vice-President Cheney's role in this debate. I think that he has actually gotten to a place where he is actually emboldening the terrorists.

It's about time that these traitors are called to account for their actions. If they believe that our country is at risk, they should consult privately with the administration and/or national security officials to alleviate that risk. They could work behind the scenes to close any security gaps and contribute to enhancing our safety without alerting the enemy to our shortcomings. They certainly should not be coaching the opposing team from the sidelines...

bushcheney were hoping for a terrorist attack early in their term so they could begin their reign of terror and fear and fake patriotism. Now they (cheney at least) are hoping for another attack so he can say I told you so. Sick, hateful motherfuckers.

It's his only chance for putting his ilk back in charge.

looks like obama is trying pretty hard not to get re-elected on his own.

Alter seems to be the only person saying this. It should be reported in every outlet (aside from Fox, of course) repeatedly. Let him be put on the defensive and explain how his actions haven't increased our risk for being attacked. He is a detestable boil on the ass of our nation.

KO has always known it was there.

Then he can be "persuaded" to modify his rhetoric.

Several pointers from TahitiNut a couple of years ago: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=364x3111280

If they didnt outright participate in 9-11 attacks..they let it happen at the least.
I want a trial and an investagation of 9-11 and I want Obama to do his job and uphold the damned laws and restore the Constitution!

him.

If you knew that your fingerprints were on a number of memos and other activities that would eventually bubble to the surface what better way to create an obsticle to prosecution than to make it look like the new Administration was taking on a purely partisan tact?

Pretty clever if you think about it.

It's about time.
