Five for Friday, Vol. 24: Cheney Vision Edition
Sorry for the lack of posts. Work again becomes hectic.
So, lest we forget, here are my favorite quotes from the Vice President of the United States, Dick Cheney. In most cases, I think history has already judge most of this as BS.
1. "Simply stated, there is no doubt that Saddam Hussein now has weapons of mass destruction. There is no doubt he is amassing them to use against our friends, against our allies, and against us." - Speech to the VFW 103rd National Convention, Aug. 2002.
2. Pre-Iraq war: "...my belief is we will, in fact, be greeted as liberators." - "Meet the Press," March 16, 2003.
3. On the insurgency against US troops and the fledgling Iraqi government: "...I think they're in the last throes, if you will, of the insurgency." - CNN, Interview by Larry King, June 20, 2005.
4. "...and I thought that made good sense because you can get as accurate a story as possible from somebody who knew and understood hunting. ...And I thought that was the right call." Interview with Fox News' Brit Hume about the accidental shooting of a hunting companion. (now granted, his buddy who went to the paper said there was no drinking, not a bit. But ends up the VP told police he had a beer with lunch before the hunt.
5. Expressing the traditional Senate decorum: "Go f__ yourself." Reportedly said to Democratic Senator Pa Leahy on the floor of the U.S. Senate.
