Dick Cheney was probably one of the most powerful and influential vice presidents in our nation's history ... Our conference attendees will benefit from the wisdom of Cheney's experience as the leader of a modern political movement, a successful businessman and a leading expert on America's future role ...
I think that what President Bush used to do is do it without the cameras ... And I don't understand sort of showing up with the White House Press Pool with photographers and asking family members if you can take pictures.
I'm sure most local Republicans, like me, will welcome Dick Cheney enthusiastically to the Bakersfield Business Conference ... Like Ronald Reagan, he's a steadfast proponent of smaller government, less expensive government and less intrusive government - that's what most Americans want. And, like Reagan...

In his closing statement at Scooter Libby's trial, Special Counsel Fitzgerald said a cloud remained over the vice-president. Mr. Cheney's near total amnesia regarding his role in this monumental Washington scandal - resulting in the conviction of his top aide - shows why.
cannot specifically recall having a conversation with Scooter Libby during which Libby advised the Vice President that he wanted to share the key judgments of the NIE with Judith Miller. Although the Vice President cannot recall having such a conversation, if one did occur, he would have advised Libby o...
Kay Bailey Hutchison's campaign hopes the endorsement of former Vice President Dick Cheney will help woo conservatives in the GOP base that will be key to winning the Republican nomination for governor. Cheney will endorse Hutchison at a Houston fundraiser on Nov. 17
The Taliban is out of business, permanently.
Charles Krauthammer says, 'The principled argument needs to be made that while government can and should debate and criticize opposition voices, the current White House goes beyond that. It wants to delegitimize any significant dissent.' Where was he when the Nixon and Bush-Cheney administrations were c...
Amateur Hour out at the CIA
Former Vice-President Dick Cheney will throw his support behind U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison’s campaign for governor. The Hutchison campaign confirmed Wednesday that Cheney will endorse the Texas Republican’s March primary challenge of Gov. Rick Perry at a fundraiser next month.
In handling press inquiries regarding Joe Wilson, it is conceivable that he tasked Scooter Libby with this responsibility.
If Dick Cheney can support marriage, so can every senator. So can every Democrat, Republican, Liberal Conservative ... Equality should know no bounds, and we must not rest until we have marriage in all fifty of these United States.
It's time for President Obama to do what it takes to win a war he has repeatedly and rightly called a war of necessity
This is Bush/Cheney policy. … I’ve been one of the leading critics pointing out all the failures, the incompetencies ... I am just bewildered as to how this president and this vice president continue to isolate themselves from different point of views. He’s [President Bush has] got three more years in o...
The White House must stop dithering while America's armed forces are in danger ... It's time for President Obama to do what it takes to win a war he has repeatedly and rightly called a war of necessity.
And also, it allows the administration to talk about the situation they inherited, and the neglect of the Bush-Cheney years. And that neglect is something not just Democrats talk about, but the generals who are fighting this war and trying to win it, talk about that same neglect. So in some ways, Dick C...
President Obama now seems afraid to make a decision…
Since taking office, Obama has justifiably noted over and over that he’s been cleaning up the mess left behind by Bush and Cheney
The president’s chief of staff claimed that the Bush administration hadn’t asked any tough questions about Afghanistan, and he complained that the Obama administration had to start from scratch to put together a strategy
Did you miss Dick Cheney’s campaign to paint the New York Times as an enemy of the state?
In the fall of 2008, fully aware of the need to meet new challenges being posed by the Taliban, we dug into every aspect of Afghanistan policy, assembling a team that repeatedly went into the country, reviewing options and recommendations, and briefing President-elect Obama’s team ... They asked us not ...
This should not be a partisan issue ... After all, if Dick Cheney can support marriage, so can every senator, so can every Democrat, Republican, liberal, conservative. Equality should know no bounds, and we must not rest until we have marriage in all 50 of these United States.
We did try other means and techniques to elicit information from Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and other al-Qaida operatives ... only turning to enhanced techniques when we failed to produce the actionable intelligence we knew they were withholding.
