Our adversaries — our Democratic adversaries

Enemies of the Republic, enemies of Freedom, enemies of all Mankind is more like it.

I have no aspirations for further office.

Damn you, Dick Cheney. I'd like to see some liberal heads explode, but I guess he has earned a right to sit it out.

“Here’s a guy without much experience, who campaigned against much of what we put in place ... and who now travels around the world apologizing,” Cheney said. “I think our adversaries — especially when that’s preceded by a deep bow ... — see that as a sign of weakness.”

“One of their top people will be given the opportunity — courtesy of the United States government and the Obama administration — to have a platform from which they can espouse this hateful ideology that they adhere to,” he said. “I think it’s likely to give encouragement — aid and comfort — to the enemy.”

In other words idiots....you elected the enemy.

Obama is a small p kinda guy. The lion’s share of his experience adds up to far left Acorn-type community organizing. Can’t get any smaller than that in mentality and knowledge.

That guy with his back to the camera has no business being in the presence of the two patriots and he’s even touching the sleeve of one of them.

Clearly someone who snuck in.

Cheney is unloading on 0bama and it’s what needs to be said. Radicals are leading this country to destruction and his words are going to hit hard because the Demonrats are proving they are the true ‘wingnuts’.

[The White House also has said that Obama will outline a general time frame for the United States to begin withdrawing from Afghanistan.]

That is just dumb! “Hey, Taliban, we are sending in 30,000 more troops, but you don’t worry, we’ll have them all out of there in a year.”

Yes, brilliant for Dick Cheney’s timing on the eve of BHO’s b.s. announcement using the USMA as a backdrop. Someone said that is not presidential and that a POTUS should be making this kind of announcement from the Oval Office.

(Hey, onyx! Long time, no see)

"Those folks ... begin to look for ways to accommodate their enemies,” Cheney said."

"“I begin to get nervous when I see the commander in chief making decisions apparently for what I would describe as small ‘p’ political reasons, where he’s trying to balance off different competing groups in society,” Cheney said."

Well said, quotes of the week. But... I think Cheney should have been a little more telling of measures taken to stop Obama instead of just going on to talk about further elections.

I guess that Obama is immune because Obama has succeeded only in playing the race card.

Is “projecting” synonymous with “personifying” now?

OMG These quotes are keepers! I’m posting them on my Facebook page.

Aid and comfort to the enemy -- that is some very strong language. Thank you Vice President Cheney. Needed to be said and the timing is right on!

Yeah, but he ain’t runnin’.
Cheney is RETIRED. I think it took the Bush family considerable effort just to bring him on board for VP...

Cheney was asked if he thinks the Bush administration bears any responsibility for the disintegration of Afghanistan because of the attention and resources that were diverted to Iraq. “I basically don’t,” he replied without elaborating.

You gotta love Dick Cheney.

I'd vote for a Cheney/Palin ticket in 2012. :)

Agree with all. Dick Cheney is a HERO. THANK you, Mr. Vice President!

President Obama is politically correctness personified. Why is everyone so unhappy?

When you sell your views and actions to the whims of disparate constituencies, such as those that make up the unhinged Left, you're blown around, twisting in the wind, as was the speck in "Horton Hears a Who".

Such is the antithesis of integrity.

People aren’t anywhere near as stupid as 0bama thinks.

What happened to pro-American Vietnamese after we abandoned them is a lesson not lost on the Afghanis.

What happened in Cambodia after we left the area is a lesson not lost on the Iranians and Pakistanis.
