Cheney hits Obama on national security as campaigns pause to mark Sept. 11..

Source: NEW YORK DAILY NEWS


Dick Cheney went on the offensive against President Obama in a statement to a conservative news site as both political campaigns paused to remember the victims of the Sept. 11 terror attacks.

The former vice president released a statement to The Daily Caller late Monday that criticized the president over GOP allegations that he has skipped daily intelligence briefings and took undue credit for Osama bin Laden's death.

"If President Obama were participating in his intelligence briefings on a regular basis then perhaps he would understand why people are so offended at his efforts to take sole credit for the killing of Osama bin Laden," Cheney told the site in an email through a spokeswoman.

"Those who deserve the credit are the men and women in our military and intelligence communities who worked for many years to track him down,” he added. “They are the ones who deserve the thanks of a grateful nation."...

12. He might not have the energy left to do that.

Not because of his age though or his heath, rather he might still be to tired from fucking over the entire nation when he was VP.

2. Wow.

Ignore the briefing that predicted the attack and then blame someone else for wrapping part of it up.

Lotta nerve.

3. And Cheney and Bush deserve credit for ignoring raging warning signs

of what became the worst terrorist assault on US soil.

FOAD already.

4. I think in Cheney's mind...

He's the "hero," the knight in shining armor who saved the country after 9-11.

Even though he and his goons fucked it ENTIRELY up.

Obama got the guy behind 9-11, and Cheney just can't stand having his fantasy punctured.

5. Now he can return to that undisclosed location.

Still playing politics with the tragedy and its aftermath and denying his administration's responsibility for the attack, Cheney desecrates the memory of the victims of 9-11.

6. Go Cheney yourself, last person in the US who should even mention the military

I wonder how much he's put in the bank over the last decade just from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan?

Perhaps even the architect of 911. Worst American ever.

11. Oh THAT'S rich - coming from the man who undoubtedly knew far more

about what the terrorists were planning than just about anybody else in DC.

Hey, Darth, YOU didn't keep us safe. Obama has. GFY.

Hard to believe he actually thinks he's taken seriously.

14. Little Dick

I have to laugh at this ass-clown.
Poor little Dick. He wants so badly to blame and/or shift the focus of his colossus clusterfuck that became 9/11 (and Afghanistan and Iraq) that he has to come out of his cave to spit a little venom.
It's too bad he and his "boss" didn't do their jobs a little better, prepare a little better or listen a little better in their briefings and at least George wouldn't have had to sit there scared out of his tiny mind for a few minutes before the Secret Service whisked him to safety so he could spend the day playing Def-Con 1 flitting from base to base across the Midwest while Dick hunkered in a "secret location".
Accuse Mr. Obama of taking too much credit for the killing of Bin Laden? Has he forgotten Saddam Hussein's gun that George used to present like a talisman? If Dick and George had captured or killed Bin Laden they would have either paraded him through the streets of NYC in chains or served his head up on a platter on national TV like Salome and Herod with John the Baptist.

19. Cheney on the loose again and, lo and behold...

...the U.S. suffers another attack--U.S. ambassador and other embassy staff killed by a rocket attack in Libya--as if to confirm Cheney's truly mind-bending assertion that Obama isn't paying attention.

Hm-m. When Cheney starts jibbering about "terrorism," look out!

25. Yeah, OK, except, yaknow, when the Bush admin ignored intelligence...

...and allowed two buildings to come crashing down, killing thousands.

It got so bad that one CIA official suggested that the staff "put in for a transfer so that somebody else would be responsible when the attack took place." Yes, really. That bad.

If it wasn't for this LIHOP then 9/11 may not have even happened.
