I don't buy your number and nobody else does.

But Cheney's comments in particular made me both angry and happy.

Angry that he and Bush sacrificed 4478 Americans lives and 33169 wounded. So far over $805,000,000,000 spent to take out Saddam. The idea that anyone would ask Cheney, a guy who got everything wrong his opinion of how Barack Obama does his job is ridiculous. The more I see of that useless piece of crap the more enraged I get.

I am Happy he isn't in any power and that he is shown over and over again to be wrong. Barack Obama keeps proving them wrong and I don't think he needs to be judged by those who did everything wrong. Obama could take Cheney to school on how to get terrorists off the field.

Obama refuses to tout his successes, however, and so do his staunchest supporters- the Left.
And of course his Right-wing opponents aren't going to mention them.
And so the mainstream and moderate Republicans simply do not know.

This is a Libya, French and British success but it's also a US success. Coalitions work and we may well see more coalitions and "soft power" used in the future. I applaud the OA's handling of this mission and I applaud NATO for a job well done.We can debate the details of the tactics used but we cannot deny that Gaddafi "was" a menace to the world and together,we removed him from our midst. Let us rejoice in the fact that the tactics of terror will not be tolerated and a price is to be paid by all who prey upon innocent people.

Click on thelink I provided you. These folks did a good job while they were at it and the info that's there is accurate up to the time they stopped maintaining the site. You just hate the fact that your hero isn't as heroic as you thought. Yes, he was part of killing 3 big dogs, but he's still WAY behind the curve compard to his predecessor and the allies he helped bring to the fight.

Look FS, You can spend your time trying to undermine your President and minimize your nations efforts but the idea that you won't ever give the guy his due credit says a lot about you. This was a good thing for America in many ways. Not the least for our image. It was done with our active support and wouldn't have been accomplished without us. And BTW Obama did this one pretty much on his own as the leader of the U.S.. The right bitched the entire way. They are a drag on the man in whatever he does and the majority of Americans are recognizing it.
I am glad we helped get rid of this SOB and so are the families of Pan Am 103 so don't waste my time with trying to run the POTUS down. You don't like the guy and we get it. But the dislike seeps in to everything he does right or wrong. Some days you should just be proud of your country. Today is a good day for that.

It was a good thing and I said as much in my last post. What I'm addressing is your idea that he's doing a great job when the fact is that he he got couple of high profile guys and helped to get another. But that's all he's done in 3 years. That's NOT great. When we get well over 650 terrorists in 5 years, getting 3 in 3 years isn't something to brag about.

You can go on about 650 guys nobody ever heard of and nobody cares about. You can go on about Obama being a failure but only rightwingers buy it. You will never give the guy credit. I understand it is impossible for you at this point because you are vested in his Presidencies failure. You couldn't give him credit if he shot The dictator himself. You have become transparent.

Darth Cheney has a hard on for Hillary.........


He's so damn giddy with this administration's global police force he can't help himself......


~ Former Vice President Dick Cheney in an interview with ABC News' Jonathan Karl Wednesday offered glowing praise for the Secretary of State and 2008 presidential candidate, calling her a "pretty formidable individual" and suggested Clinton should challenge Barack Obama in 2012.
"I think she's probably the most competent person they've got ... in their cabinet. And frankly, I thought she was gonna win the nomination last time around," Cheney said. "Maybe if the Obama record is bad enough--and these days it's not very good, given the shape of the economy--maybe there will be enough ferment in the Democratic Party so that there will be a primary on their side."

He has been wrong on everything he has said for 10 years so I wouldn't know who would need his advice. When will his battery wear out?
