ELIZABETH Cheney Threatens ‘Military Action’ Against Iran
http://thinkprogress.org/2008/06/09/liz-cheney-iran/

The Washington Post notes today that Liz Cheney, daughter of Vice President Cheney and a former State Department official, is “unhappy with key elements of U.S. Mideast policy.” “e have been less effective and less successful…when we have been unfortunately not so bold,” she said of the Bush administration in remarks to AIPAC last week.

Liz Cheney encouraged the U.S. to draw more “red lines” in the Middle East, adopting an even harder-line than the Bush administration on key policies. When it came to Iran, however, Liz Cheney, seemed to be in full agreement with at least one administration official: her father. In her remarks, Cheney said the “time for diplomacy” with Iran is “rapidly coming to an end“:

Over the years, she said, there has been “no shortage of efforts to talk to them” — but to no avail: “We don’t have the luxury to have the debate we have been having about should we talk, should we not talk. The time for diplomacy here is rapidly coming to an end.“

4. No No No
not for a gazillion dollars. Let them go fuck themselves which apparently they've been doing for ages since he said they're Cheneys on both sides of his family.

2. The number one reason
putting impeachment on the table is important.

If they are not threatened with consequences for their actions there will be no end to this shit.

for the fifth time, Dick knew he would always be able to count on her.

13. Well, on Liz Cheney's nod alone we could probably just bomb Iran, but
I won't feel completely solid on it until we consult Karen Hughes.

I think getting the valued input and analysis of people who are superficially or ostensibly connected to government work on matters of international security in which lives are at stake is absolutely crucial.

Also let's pick the brains of Tricia Nixon, Richard Petty, and Phyllis Schlafly before laying waste to an entire culture.

23. Wow! Green IS her favorite color.
LMFAO, if it weren't so tragic.

BBC uncovers lost Iraq ($23) billions ("largest war profiteering in history")

Hey, underpants! If you like British filmmaking, you'll likely enjoy "The Bank Job." Great story in which the royals get some big exposure.

22. LIz
"The time for diplomacy here is rapidly coming to an
end.“ How can this be the case?? I thought the Bush policy was
NOT to talk to our enemies. If this is the case how could ANY
diplomacy have taken place. You got some 'splainin' to do,
Liz.
