Deadeye Dick still mouthing off

You’d think members of the Bush administration would have something better to do now that their eight-year stint is up…like maybe find jobs. Seems that most of the members of the administration are having a hard time finding gainful employment these days (oh, like about 70% of them according to CNN). It’s hard to figure out if it’s actually the economy or the stench of the Bush years still hanging on them all.

One guy clearly has too much time on his hands. Dick Cheney is still opening his big yap. Seems that Mr. Cheney has brought his eight years of experience to bear on Barack Obama’s terrorism policies and has pronounced that some of the decisions he’s made have made Americans “less safe.” What exactly does that mean? And how safe were we when George Bush drove the car? Not very.

I say that because the reality is that the worst terrorist attack in American history, and the only one that has happened on American soil, happened on George Bush’s watch. Yes, sadly, it did. And the Bush administration had plenty of warning prior to the attack and the warnings were well documented.

So, when Dick Cheney and the rest of the lawless cowboys from the most perverse administration in American history tell you that they “kept you safe,” you should just flat out laugh in their collective faces. What they should be saying to you is, “Well, yes, the worst terrorist attack in American history happened while we were in power and, yes, 3,000+ people died, but we didn’t let it happen again the whole time were ran the government.”

Let’s also remember that our exalted leader, George W. Bush, went on national television and vowed to bring Osama Bin Laden to justice. He swore he’d get him “dead or alive.”  Just six weeks later, the same president told the media that getting Bin Laden wasn’t that important. And eight years later, Osama Bin Laden is still at large, and we’ll probably hear from him again sometime in the future. You can bet that Deadeye Dick will be there to say, “I told you so,” and focus the blame on President Obama’s errant policies.

Instead, let’s put the blame where it belongs: On the Bush administration for ignoring the warnings to begin with, and then for not even having a plan to capture Osama Bin Laden (this has been confirmed by former members of the administration).

Since he’s such a selfless public servant and is so concerned with America’s safety, maybe Dick Cheney could perform one more selfless task for the country. During the 2008 presidential campaign, Senator McCain revealed that he knows where Bin Laden is hiding out. Maybe Deadeye Dick could find out from McCain how to contact Bin Laden so he can invite him to go hunting. It may be the only way we ever get him.

By the way, if you can put aside some good natured liberal joking at the beginning of this link, you will find an assessment of our safety by an expert on the subject:
