Cheney Gets Bitch-Slapped… Metaphorically

Anyone following the news can see that Dick(head) Cheney doesn’t take kindly to any kind of investigation of the Bush Crime Family’s practices, or the Bush Administration’s practices as it’s more widely known.  But, it’s the terrorists that he’s really worried about.  It’s the terrorists that he keeps saying America was defended against by the Bush administration which President Obama is now ruining.  Cheney has said, basically, that Obama is making America less safe by not following the Bush administration guidelines on torture.  Guidelines, which even McCain has described as being illegal.

I think the interrogations were in violation of the Geneva Conventions and the Convention Against Torture that we ratified under President Reagan.

This is obvious.  In as much as torture has been defined, the use of “enhanced interrogations” or torture, is plainly within those defined instances of torture.  The argument, instead, hasn’t rested on its legality.  No, the GOP has been trying to convince America that torture was OK, nonetheless, because we needed it to protect our country.  Even with the CIA documents released which Cheney swore would relieve him of any blame of wrong doing and prove that torture gave us valuable information, the opposite was true because the documents didn’t show anything of the sort.

But, more important than what Cheney says was OK, since he says it was OK, is what was actually taking place.  National Security Adviser, Gen. Jim Jones (Ret.), that’s Marine General Jim Jones (Ret.), states that Obama is actually doing a better job of defending us against terrorism than Bush ever did.

“This type of radical fundamentalism or terrorism is a threat not only to the United States but to the global community,” Jones said. “The world is coming together on this matter now that President Obama has taken the leadership on it and is approaching it in a slightly different way – actually a radically different way – to discuss things with other rulers to enhance the working relationships with law enforcement agencies – both national and international.”

Jones said that “we are seeing results that indicate more captures, more deaths of radical leaders and a kind of a global coming-together by the fact that this is a threat to not only the United States but to the world at-large and the world is moving toward doing something about it.”

Yeah, so in your face Mr. Darth Cheney!  No, really guys, are we going to allow our public officials to break the law without any recourse?  The Right got so angry about a guy getting a little under-the-desk-action, but kill a few hundred thousand people in the name of Christ oil and you’re A-OK. (Yeah, that’s a few hundred THOUSAND, including Americans, Iraqis, and other Muslim people that our hired mercenaries decided to abduct.)

Now, all the little Murdoch goon-watchers (that includes all of the vast Ruport Murdoch media corporations: Wall Street Journal, Fox News, etc.) will continue to mimic the speaking box that is their news, for their certainly are no brains over at Fox, and instead of thinking about their actions maybe they’ll pray to their god/dog and ask for forgiveness.

Why does being white and born-again Christian allow other people to totally disregard any of your faults, present or past?  Is it that they aren’t responsible for their actions anymore?  It must be so nice to not take any responsibility for any of your wrong doings since you think some poor guy died for all of those sins two thousand years ago.  Hey, fun game you can play.  Count how many people were killed and how many were saved by Christianity.  Does it even break even?
