Students Walk out on Dick Cheney, Calling Him ‘War Criminal’ (VIDEO)

http://samuel-warde.com/2014/03/students-walk-dick-cheney-war-criminal/

Video footage shows students walking out on Dick Cheney while he was speaking at American University. The students were protesting his foreign policy, and calling him a “War criminal” as they left the arena.

As reported by American University’s The Eagle, the former vice-president denied allegations that he was a war criminal saying that “the accusation are not true.”

Cheney had previously denied using torture in a pre-talk interview with ATV, the student-run television station at American University, saying: “Some people called it torture. It wasn’t torture.”

it always has been, you just had the definition redesigned to fit your conscience. You are a fucking war criminal and an embarrassment to the country. May you live long enough to go to trial. May your children be paupers as you lose your ill gotten blood money.

being a war criminal. I guess he has to out of self- preservation. There are few places in the world and nowhere in Europe that he can travel without the threat of being arrested as a war criminal.

wanted a bigger ego so he slaughtered a few hundred thousand while many of us watched in horror.

And god help the wounded left behind, both here and there.

Never forget what he did.
