Liz Cheney suggests Obama 'siding with terrorists'
Source: CNNPolitics.com

Posted: 04:35 PM ET

From CNN Ticker Producer Alexander Mooney

(CNN) — Liz Cheney is picking up where her father left off when it comes to taking aim at the Obama administration, saying Tuesday the new commander-in-chief appears to be siding with terrorists.

In an interview on Fox News, the daughter of Vice President Dick Cheney sharply criticized the new administration for agreeing to release photographs depicting alleged abuses at U.S. prisons in Iraq and Afghanistan during the Bush administration.

"I think it is really appalling that the administration is taking this step," she said in the interview. "Clearly what they are doing is releasing images that show American military men and woman in a very negative light."

"I have heard from families of service members from families of 9/11 victims this question about when did it become so fashionable for us to side, really, with the terrorists," she continued. "You know, President Obama has a lot of rhetoric about support for American military families, support for our men and women who are fighting for us overseas. But if he really cares about them, then he wouldn't be making such an effort to release photos that show them in a negative light."

1. Cheney and the Bushies sided with terrorists and their funders and protected their interests
Edited on Tue May-12-09 04:00 PM by blm
against John Kerry's investigation of BCCI that uncovered the illegal operations Poppy Bush was running that included moneylaundering, drugrunning and armsdealing......funding global terror networks and then protecting them was a standard practice for Poppy Bush and his cronies.

Oh yeah....Cheney attacked Kerry in the press at the time, calling him a 'conspiracy theory nut'. Who was siding with terrorists and obstructing the BCCI investigation at every opportunity?

3. blah, blah, blah - trying to use 9/11 & the military as human shields in defense of torture
Sorry, Liz, not working. You pro-torture cretins can't hide the fact you are sadists.

4. Liz Cheney heard from nobody but her Daddy. "Stick up for me, please. SOMEone needs to."
Someone. Anyone.

Anyone? Buehler? Anyone?

5. I just want to know how much Lizzie knows.
Did she get the classified briefings, or did daddy tell her what was in them? She's out there running her mouth about a lot of things, and she knows they didn't torture? How?

give her a microphone, and talk to her like she's a credible person.

Edited on Tue May-12-09 05:05 PM by eppur_se_muova
how does being the *daughter* of the most secretive VPire in US history qualify Liz as an expert? If DDDDDick told her anything about what he was doing, I would think he would be violating national security guidelines by doing so. DDDDDick's not the type to leak security to just anybody ... :sarcasm: only the selected few.

18. These people are a threat to our Republic.
Seriously. This ugliness has been festering since Nixon. I don't fear any terrorists. They won't destroy American. People like the Cheney's will, if they're allowed to. I think they should be tried for Treason and War Crimes, I really do.

24. Worse ... his daughter.
I wonder if she'd debate Amy Carter. Oops, I mean Eleanor Mondale. Now, there's a national figure in Liz Cheney's league.

Since when does being "America's First Daughter" (well ... second, maybe) qualify one as an expert on national policy?

25. Actually, she is qualified...
She was the "Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of State For Near Eastern Affairs."

Doesn't mean she's right, of course...

27. Principal? Deputy? Assistant? So her boss's boss was unavailable?
Or her boss's boss's boss ? :shrug:

It's like having University administration policy defended by an undergraduate teaching assistant.

Liz Cheney was one of only four people who vetted VP candidates for DDDDDick's "panel" -- the other three being DDDDDick himself, wife Lynne, and his attorney, David Addington (who became Counsel to the OVP, natch, thus effectively hiring himself). DDDDDick seems to have quite a penchant for trusting only family or closest cronies, regardless of official lines of authority or security clearances.

35. Look, I was just commenting...
... on people saying that her only qualification was that she's Cheney's daughter.
She worked for the federal government.

Yes, she's evil!
Don't take it out on me...

40. Sorry, didn't mean it as criticism of you -- I know she did hold an official position ...
but it smells like a patronage job, if anything.

Lack of sufficiently subtle smilies to sub for facial/body language ...

And in any other pseudo-fascist plutocracy, she would be. Her daddy just happens to think he runs this one.

Yes, it's the PHOTOS...not the actions.

38.  What a slimy family of snakes the cheneys are. It won't show troops in a negative light, liz,
it will show their former commander in chief, your dad, and puppet bush, in a negative light.

You and your scummy kind don't get to hide behind the men and women who have actually worn the uniform, and throw mud at your political enemies anymore, you sack of shit. That time is gone. You and your dad aren't good enough to polish their boots.

You and your dad have been hocked up like a giant loogey from the airways of the American people, and spat back into the gutter from whence you came.
