Cheney makes fun of Jesus and Obama
Cheney told the Politico newspaper that the US would not "win this fight by turning the other cheek."
My cousin wrote an excellent post on this. Excerpts:
"[Cheney] told Politico today that he was fairly certain that by closing Guantanamo and rejecting the use of torture on terrorism suspects that the Obama Administration is bringing on a probable attack of nuclear or biological weapons. He said that protecting the nation's security is "a tough, mean, dirty, nasty, business."
. . . When the United States is tough, mean, dirty, and nasty, we should expect the exact same thing to come back to us. This is why Mr. Cheney has been so wrong the past 8 years. The ill will that has been fostered by this kind of foreign policy cannot be measured. I respect the fact that we have not been attacked since 9/11. I think that is an achievement that should be acknowledged, and for which I am grateful. However, the golden rule applies to much broader, and gravely important applications.
. . . Someday that nastiness is going to come back ten fold. I venture to guess that our dirtiness will be much more to blame in the event of an attack than our refusal to torture suspects."
