Greenwald: Cheney setting up Obama in anticipation of another terrorist attack
David Edwards and Muriel Kane
Published: Thursday February 5, 2009

In an interview with Politico published on Wednesday, former vice president Dick Cheney defended the Bush administration's use of torture and warrantless surveillance and suggested that unless the Obama administration maintains these policies, it risks a new "9/11-type event" that could "involve the deaths of perhaps hundreds of thousands of people."

"This argument is setting us up for the future," asserted MSNBC's Rachel Maddow on Wednesday evening. "If there is another attack, there's a reason to keep pushing this legacy ... so that there will be a political blowback against Barack Obama, so ... the country wouldn't rally around him they way they rallied around Bush and Cheney after 9/11."

1. If there is another attack

I will have a very difficult time believing it was not engineered by Bushco and I don't think I'll even have to put on a tinfoil hat this time.

3. Fair warning. If it happens, declare martial law and round up those Republicans

responsible. After all, the Patriot Act lets the sitting president do so.

5. perfect!

4. Considering 9/11 was LIHOP or MIHOP

we can assume that Cheney has some sort of action planned - these people will never give up and they have their tentacles in every corner of the government and military, probably just waiting for him to give the signal

6. Exactly!

Fuckers!

11. I am absolutely *sure* that cheney had something to do with 9/11.

I only hope that the truth about this foul, vile piece of crap comes out during my lifetime, if not his.

For over 200 years, the name "Benedict Arnold" has been synonomous with treason, with actively working against the interests of one's own country. I suggest we send Arnold into retirement and adopt the name "Dick Cheney" to represent treasonous, sociopathic words and policies. This sick creature represents the very worst that America is capable of producing.

He shot America in the face, and now he's waiting for us to apologize.

8. Almost sounds like he is hoping for an attack, doesn't it?

10. My first thought, too.

He can't be trusted...never could. I also fear he has enough contacts left that he could MIHOP.

Evil man.
