Cheney on attacking Iraq: “Damn right I Would.”

Posted on February 7th, 2008 by vicezilla

What could more chilling than a leader of your country who relishes war? How about two leaders then?

Vice President Dick “I’d do it again” Cheney claimed just that during his speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference today.
“The President has made the right decisions for the right reasons and he always reflected the values of the American people,” Cheney declared, “Would I support those same decisions today? You’re damn right I would.”

More than half his speech was devoted to Conservative rhetoric about national security and terrorism, which seemed to whip the crowd into a frenzy. Sadly, the loudest cheers came when he discussed the interrogation of detainees in Guantanamo Bay.

“We have gathered a wealth of information that has foiled attacks against the United States. Information that has saved thousands of lives,” he said, before adding, “We do not torture. It is against our laws and our values.”

It’s obvious that these same people who cheered, screamed, and yelled “We love you,” are the same people who unconditionally, without question bought Bush and Cheney’s slick spin campaign that brought this country to war in the first place. Now they are cheering the spin about “we do not torture. It is against our laws and values!”

It’s time to wake up people! The United States has used, and possibly still is using torture against terror suspects. The CIA admitted to the use of waterboarding, which is torture as defined under international law.

Oh that’s right, I keep forgetting that Bush and Cheney think they are above ALL laws! Isn’t that the mind set that got this country into the present mess in the first place?
