Dick Cheney rips Obama for defense cuts: “He would much rather spend the money on food stamps"
“Absolutely dangerous,” Cheney told Fox News host Sean Hannity. “I, obviously, have not been a strong supporter of Barack Obama but this really is over the top. It does enormous long-term damage to our military.”
“They’re basically making the decision, the Obama administration, that they no longer want to be dominant on the seas and the skies and in space,” the former vice president added. “This notion that we no longer want to have a force that’s capable of any sustained occupation of a foreign territory, that’s a basic fundamental decision that drives — supposedly justifies this. But lots of times, you don’t get to make that choice. Circumstances will make that choice for you.”
Cheney said that his “old friends” in the Middle East had told him that they no longer trusted the United States to use military power when it was necessary.
“I think the whole thing is not driven by any change in world circumstances, it’s driven by budget considerations,” he insisted. “He would much rather spend the money on food stamps than he would on a strong military or support for our troops.”

...would rather spend taxpayer dollars on caring for American citizens less fortunate than most instead of spending taxpayer dollars to wreak havoc, destruction, and death around the world on the whim of corporations of Haliburton.
Yep...that's our tyrant.
FOODSTAMPS. How terrible.
It just goes to show that Cheney is still a heartless old bastard. Now if he could only be convinced of war crimes, life would be swell.
whenever I see Cheney...
Mine eyes have seen the orgy of the launching of the Sword;
He is searching out the hoardings where the stranger's wealth is stored;
He hath loosed his fateful lightnings, and with woe and death has scored;
His lust is marching on.
I have seen him in the watch-fires of a hundred circling camps;
They have builded him an altar in the Eastern dews and damps;
I have read his doomful mission by the dim and flaring lamps—
His night is marching on.
I have read his bandit gospel writ in burnished rows of steel:
"As ye deal with my pretensions, so with you my wrath shall deal;
Let the faithless son of Freedom crush the patriot with his heel;
Lo, Greed is marching on!"
We have legalized the strumpet and are guarding her retreat;*
Greed is seeking out commercial souls before his judgement seat;
O, be swift, ye clods, to answer him! be jubilant my feet!
Our god is marching on!
In a sordid slime harmonious Greed was born in yonder ditch,
With a longing in his bosom—and for others' goods an itch.
As Christ died to make men holy, let men die to make us rich—
Our god is marching on.

I wonder why?
serve in a war he supported".
Just one more snivelling coward in a party absolutely bursting at the seams with them...
I would much rather the heart that is beating in your chest had gone to someone WORTHY...not you.
You, who bought your way to the top of the list with blood money.
Rot in hell...you evil, fucking maggot.
BTW nice job supporting the troops w/your unneeded war in Iraq, Dick.
4,000 + dead, 30,000 to 50,0000 wounded or PTSD or long term
illnesses, and God only knows how many dead and wounded Iraqis.
who even cares what that war criminal thinks! 
Sincerely
