Vice-President Cheney, the self-proclaimed Darth Vader, is
currently defending the legal and extra-legal means employed by the Bush
administration to gather information from terrorists real or imagined. While the
left and their assorted allies in the 'old' media are trying to push the criminalization
of the Gitmo activities, without drawing Speaker Pelosi into it, the Vice-President
has single-handedly gone on the offensive to protect his reputation and the
reputation of the Bush administration. If ever there was a man that the elitist
media talking heads needed to avoid it would be Richard Cheney. The unique situation
with Vice-President Cheney is that he isn't interested in politics or being elected or
getting good poll numbers. He is only interested in one thing. The safety of the
United States from enemies within and without is the primary and overriding
concern and goal of the Vice-President and his staff and counsels. If, and that is a
BIG if, Mr. Cheney and his staff bended or flexed or manipulated the letter or
intent of the law to properly or improperly determine information that involved
terrorist attacks upon America, then he will be judged by history for being one of
the few men in our history that put the good of his country over the needs of his
political career. Thank you Vice-President Cheney for staying on message.
