Cheney Says Lieberman's Loss Helping Enemy

“If you aren’t with us, you are against us.” Dissent equals helping the enemy. The administration really hasn’t toned down their rhetoric, have they? Seems like it’s a little more hysterical tthan it was at the beginning of the “War On Terror.” Why don’t they just come out and say, “if you don’t support the administration you aren’t just unpatriotic, you’re actually working for the enemy”? This is what Cheney’s inferring.

The truth is, it’s Cheney that doesn’t understand what loyalty is.


Cheney: Lieberman Loss ‘Disturbing’ Because al Qaeda Is ‘Betting They Can Break The Will of The American People’

As the Mideast sits on the brink of regional war, Vice President Dick Cheney spent his time yesterday holding a teleconference to discuss the outcome of the Democratic Senate primary in Connecticut.

Cheney said that to “purge a man like Joe Lieberman” was “of concern, especially over the issue of Joe’s support with respect to national efforts in the global war on terror.” He explained:

“The thing that’s partly disturbing about it is the fact that, the standpoint of our adversaries, if you will, in this conflict, and the al Qaeda types, they clearly are betting on the proposition that ultimately they can break the will of the American people in terms of our ability to stay in the fight and complete the task.”
