You Call THIS Ready Mr. Cheney?

❖ Ex-Vice President Dick “Dick” Cheney says, “We were always ready on 9/11″.

“When we were there, on our watch, we were always ready on 9/11, on the anniversary,” the former vice president added, not mentioning that nearly 3,000 people had died during the original 2001 attacks. “We always anticipated they were coming for us, especially in that part of the world.”

On Aug. 6, 2001, President George W. Bush received a classified review of the threats posed by Osama bin Laden and his terrorist network, Al Qaeda. That morning’s “presidential daily brief” — the top-secret document prepared by America’s intelligence agencies — featured the now-infamous heading: “Bin Laden Determined to Strike in U.S.” A few weeks later, on 9/11, Al Qaeda accomplished that goal.

Yup, you sure were prepared, Dickie boy. What an ass!

Thanks kpete, for the painful reminder of the stupidity of the Bush years. We need to remember!

We will never forget and we will never forgive!

LOVE to bitch-slap the dick-wad about 100 times while making him look at the posted picture - or better yet, make him read the Aug. 6 report aloud between slaps!

(EDIT) Some may be confused as to whom I am referring as the "dick-wad" - Bush or Cheney.
I'll leave it up to you - or, better yet, let's make it a group thing and do them both!

Ya, we were always ready! Well, except for that one time...

Public shaming isn't enough, but I'd be happy to start there.
