Dear Dick, If you wanted to run against President Obama, you should have run last year.

Why Dick gets such a free pass on so many issues is beyond me.

How many roadside bombs did his policies stop? How much did you learn about Madrid, London, Mumbai, or Algeria?

Are you just going to get away with the 'we made the country safe' b.s. for the rest of your life, but the words Halliburton will never pass your lips?

1. Good point.

But I think he prefers to be a "behind the scenes" actor, in an "undisclosed location". Torturers usually shun the light of day.

2. This way he can criticize Obama all he wants, but nobody will ever be able to say Obama defeated him

3. Hey, making vague predictions is fun!

Since Cheney hasn't specified when or how things will go wrong "because Obama's not tough enough," when something, anything, does go wrong, the talking heads on Fox can say "Dick Cheney predicted this would happen." Of course, he's predicted nothing of the sort; it's on a par with Nostradamus supposedly predicting 9/11:

At forty-five degrees the sky will burn
Fire to approach the great new city

The Greek for "new city" is nea polis, whence is derived the name of Naples. Downtown Naples is about six miles from the crater of Vesuvius. Nostradamus was predicting Vesuvius, which had become quiescent in the late 1200s, would erupt again at some point. But since he didn't specify when
Similarly, predicting that "something will go wrong" is too general to be of use. Of course something will go wrong, whether or not Obama is "tough enough." Let's not forget that the Bush administration's approach to North Korea hasn't caused it to halt, let alone abandon its nuclear weapons program.

4. Dick Cheney is a waste of oxygen

Who should do us all a favor and fuck off.

5. The best part of waking up!

Nothing like Cheney hatred to start your day!
