Here is Dick Cheney’s awesome interview with Chris Wallace this past Sunday. It’s his best one yet:
Cheney Reveals Frustration With Bush In Upcoming Book
Former Vice-President Dick Cheney is notoriously tight-lipped. We know from years of reporting that he often prefers to listen rather than speak. As a result, when he does speak people tend to listen.
According to The Washington Post, Cheney will be doing quite a bit of speaking in his upcoming memoirs.
In his first few months after leaving office, former vice president Richard B. Cheney threw himself into public combat against the "far left" agenda of the new commander in chief. More private reflections, as his memoir takes shape in slashing longhand on legal pads, have opened a second front against Cheney’s White House partner of eight years, George W. Bush.
Cheney’s disappointment with the former president surfaced recently in one of the informal conversations he is holding to discuss the book with authors, diplomats, policy experts and past colleagues. By habit, he listens more than he talks, but Cheney broke form when asked about his regrets.
"In the second term, he felt Bush was moving away from him," said a participant in the recent gathering, describing Cheney’s reply. "He said Bush was shackled by the public reaction and the criticism he took. Bush was more malleable to that. The implication was that Bush had gone soft on him, or rather Bush had hardened against Cheney’s advice. He’d showed an independence that Cheney didn’t see coming. It was clear that Cheney’s doctrine was cast-iron strength at all times — never apologize, never explain — and Bush moved toward the conciliatory."
The two men maintain respectful ties, speaking on the telephone now and then, though aides to both said they were never quite friends. But there is a sting in Cheney’s critique, because he views concessions to public sentiment as moral weakness. After years of praising Bush as a man of resolve, Cheney now intimates that the former president turned out to be more like an ordinary politician in the end.
Time Magazine reported last month on Cheney’s anger over President Bush’s refusal to grant Scooter Libby a full pardon. Cheney claims he will detail the heated exchanges he had with Bush on that issue in his book.
If the above quotes are any indication, his book should prove a fascinating read. I always take heat when I say this, but I think Dick Cheney was a great Vice President — maybe one of the greatest.
I do think he bears a significant portion of the blame for Iraq turning into the disaster it did, and the history books will rightly reflect that.
Besides Iraq, I think his steely resolve on national security issues and total disregard for his own popularity were a great asset to the Bush presidency and to our country as a whole.

Dick Cheney Delivers Blistering Speech On National Security
Dick Cheney gave an incredible speech today just moments after Barack Obama bloviated about America’s moral bearings, blah, blah, blah.
Cheney’s speech, delivered to the American Enterprise Institute, was his most complete and blistering critique of Obama’s national security policies to date.
He called out the charlatans in congress who backed the successful enhanced interrogation program in private, but now feign outrage in public and call for show trials.
Cheney reiterated the point he’s made so many times recently, that Obama’s flawed left-wing approach to fighting the war on terror is making the country less safe.
Here’s a little taste of what the former vice president had to say. I’ll post the complete speech as soon as it’s up.
Cheney Officially Asks For Release Of Two Classified Documents
It looks like the Obama administrations attempt to smear the Bush administration by releasing the “torture” memos has taken on a life its own.
After telling Sean Hannity that he intends to push for declassification of documents showing what was gained from enhanced interrogation — has done just that.
Dick Cheney personally filled out forms in his own hand and submitted it the National Archives’ Presidential Libraries requesting that two specific documents be declassified.
The forms have since been forwarded to the CIA for processing.
This is starting to get good.

Dick Cheney Moving To Declassify Reports Showing Success Of Interrogation Program
Former Vice President Dick Cheney will appear on “Hannity” tonight where he is expected to tell Sean the following:
“One of the things that I find a little bit disturbing about this recent disclosure is they put out the legal memos, the memos that the CIA got from the Office of Legal Counsel, but they didn’t put out the memos that showed the success of the effort. And there are reports that show specifically what we gained as a result of this activity. They have not been declassified.”
“I formally asked that they be declassified now. I haven’t announced this up until now, I haven’t talked about it, but I know specifically of reports that I read, that I saw that lay out what we learned through the interrogation process and what the consequences were for the country.”
“And I’ve now formally asked the CIA to take steps to declassify those memos so we can lay them out there and the American people have a chance to see what we obtained and what we learned and how good the intelligence was, as well as to see this debate over the legal opinions.”
This is just too awesome. The Obama administration released those documents in an attempt to further discredit and smear the Bush administration at the expense of our national security. It’s gonna be a beautiful day for America when the “torture” cry-babies are exposed as the left-wing pussies they are. Everyone involved in the interrogation programs says it was a success, now it’s time to lay it out.

Video: Dick Cheney Interview On CNN’s ‘State Of The Union’
If you want to make liberals literally foam at the mouth with rage just trot out Dick Cheney to speak about anything. Personally, I like hearing from Dick Cheney. He’s an old battle ax that has seen more and done more than Barack Obama could ever hope to. He also doesn’t give a damn what anybody thinks about him and says what’s on his mind — which is usually the opposite of what the Obama media wants to hear.
Cheney Concerned About Obama’s Approach To Fighting Terror
Former vice-president Dick Cheney is speaking out forcefully against Obama’s soft approach to national security. He says closing Gitmo is foolish and warns that a WMD attack on America is highly probable if our intelligence agencies lose the tools that have kept us safe for seven years.
“When we get people who are more concerned about reading the rights to an Al Qaeda terrorist than they are with protecting the United States against people who are absolutely committed to do anything they can to kill Americans, then I worry,” Cheney said.
Protecting the country’s security is “a tough, mean, dirty, nasty business,” he said. “These are evil people. And we’re not going to win this fight by turning the other cheek.”
Cheney was interviewed by Politico for nearly 90 minutes and the resulting article makes for a fascinating read. I think the former VP is right on the money with his observations about the Obama administration. The fact is, whether you approve of them or not, the Bush/Cheney policies have kept us safe for more than seven years. Rolling back a system that’s working to a system that has failed in the past is not only absurd — it’s dangerous.
All this nonsense about “restoring America’s image in the world” is a bunch of liberal, peacenik, pinko crap. The only people who care about that shit are left-wing apologists who think we can make friends with the terrorists if we just try.
We are at war with radical f*cking Islam and our enemies play for keeps. This is no joke and it looks like a lot more Americans are gonna have to die before we realize this.

Cheney: Waterboarding ‘Remarkably Successful’
Here’s a little news snack that’s sure to have lefty bloggers and pinkos seeing red:
We were fortunate as a country to have a hardliner like Cheney around after 9/11. Rather than bow to the ACLU he did what was necessary to protect this country. The loony left doesn’t care about keeping this country safe. They’re more interested in the comfort and well being of our enemies.
