Rights Group Calls for Cheney Arrest-in Vancouver
- Thread starter Ocean Breeze
- Start date
I can understand why people might think that Cheney was the puppet master. George W Bush was definitely not a well spoken man and was often lampooned in the media for his verbal blunders. The ignorant and uneducated overlook his accomplishments which include graduating from Yale and qualifying to fly jet fighters. His intelligence is probably well above most people on this forum, last I checked we don't have any Prime Ministers or Presidents posting on CC.
But because he is not well spoken he is automatically considered a fool.
As to George Sr and his sins in Iraq. So often I hear people quoting UN mandates and how they were ignored. George Bush Sr had a mandate to kick Saddam out of Kuwait and that was it. Love him or hate him, he did what he was mandated by the United Nations to do What followed was a rather limp wristed Bill Clinton and the UN not enforcing the post Desert Storm surrender. The UN Inspectors were denied access to a number of sites and as a whole the UN was toyed with regularly by Hussein.
I did not support entering Iraq, especially during the opening months of Afghanistan where I believe we not only had the initiative, but the will to surround Al Queda and the Taliban and decimate them. Additionally, the United States had the support of most Countries and as a result of the Iraq war that good will and support was squandered foolishly. But one thing to remember is that Hussein was exactly a nice fellow. He used poison gas on the Kurds, slaughtered his own people and in the end got what he deserved.
"George Bush hates black people," said Kenye West at a Katrina fundraiser.
Katrina was no more George W Bush's fault than was 9/11, but there will always be people out there who will try to place the blame squarely on his shoulders.
This latest hoopla about arresting Cheney for torture is just the usual idiocy on the part of folks who see nothing outside their own little bubble headed reality. These same members will go on and on about 9/11 being a inside job. Think about that for a second.. So that they could make us all get in line and what? Be unemployed? Watch our own markets crash? Increase health care costs due toxic chemicals in the rubble. These same nit wits will ignore and even defend psychopaths like Mahmoud Ahmadinejad who hangs people based on sexuality and funds terrorism, because they are either too inept to see the stark contrast or refuse to see beyond their little obsessives.
Idiocy.
I've not heard many say Cheney was a puppet master. I have heard just a few. I've heard more say they were equally involved. I think both schools of thought are off base. It comes from them completely despising both of GW and Cheney IMO.
Obama blunders just as much. From saying there are 57 states, to "Corpse Man", to bumbling all over the place when a teleprompter fails or he doesn't have one in front of him. Do I think Biden is therefore in charge? Of course not. Obama is the President and he is in charge.
I wouldn't be surprised if years down the road between Bush and Obama, if Bush is regarded as the stronger man and better able to make decisions.
I just watched the NDP foreign affairs critic on CBC advocating Cheney's arrest.
He looked like an occupant of a psycho ward, waiting for his last dose of lithium to kick in.
Sooooooo. George Galloway, who gives money and support to our declared enemies is A-OK, but the former VP of our greatest ally and friend (to say nothing of the most powerful nation on earth) needs to be arrested.........
God help us if these guys ever get to gov't, which is (thankfully) not gonna happen.

Everybody goes quiet when reality of Libya is brought up but it's all good, they are reformed al Qaeda and have installed a clean type of Sharia law.
