Cheney Lauds Obama Security Team

In an exclusive interview with ABC News, a reflective Vice President Dick Cheney praised President-elect Barack Obama’s national security team and admitted he’s changed during his time in office.
In his first exit interview and first television interview since the November election, Cheney said the 9-11 terrorist attacks most certainly became “a prime motivation,” critically shaping his actions in the years that followed.
“Have I changed?” Cheney asked. “Well, not in the sense that I’ve gone through some fundamental psychological transition here, but I have been, since that day, focused very much on what we needed to do to defend the nation, and I think the policies we’ve recommended, the programs that we’ve undertaken, have been good programs. I think those have been sound decisions, and if that’s what they mean by saying I’ve changed, I’m guilty.”

With 35 days left in office, the vice president also weighed in on those who will take the place of the Bush administration, assessing Obama’s picks to spearhead national security.
“I must say, I think it’s a pretty good team,” Cheney said. “I’m not close to Barack Obama, obviously, nor do I identify with him politically. He’s a liberal. I’m a conservative.”
“But I think the idea of keeping Gates at Defense is excellent. I think Jim Jones will be very, very effective as the national security adviser.”
Cheney likewise weighed in on Sen. Hillary Clinton, who Obama has tapped to be the next secretary of state.
“While I would not have hired Sen. Clinton, I think she’s tough,” the vice president added. “She’s smart, she works very hard and she may turn out to be just what President Obama needs.”

“He’s a liberal. I’m a conservative.”
Once again, reinforce the false paradigm.

That fat piece of sh** should be prosecuted for war crimes and mass murder. Dick Cheney
is pure evil. Where was he during 911…oh yea, in the bunker at the white house running the
show. Georgie boy out of the way, with the first graders.

“I’m guilty.”
Yes DICK, you are definately guilty, of treason, murder, abuse of power, etc….
So now that he admits guilt, can we do something about him please?

Do we need any more indication that they (politicians and controlled media) are all playing with the same playbook?
An enemy of the state who should be tried for high treason is complementing his successors.
And, his successors accept the “compliment”.
It will soon be time to act.

Dick is an asshole. He has continually neglected his responsibilities as Vice President for 8 years, so he could orchestrate global chaos and treat American servicemen like garbage. PLEASE! SOMEONE THROW A SHOE AT THIS RETARD!!!

I thank you, Mr. cheney, for the great job that you and Mr. Bush have done in the face of the appeasers and pacifists. You have kept us safe, and for that even the wackos who post on this site should be grateful to you. Once again, thank you and God bless America!

Hey Draconius, go suck his blood.
You are thanking Cheney for keeping us safe.
In case you have had your head in the sand the last seven years, the only thing we need protection from is him and the rest of the scum responsible for the false flag operations both past and future.
You are an A*S.

Who gives a f*ck what the murdering thief Darth Cheney has to say.
The first thing I did upon seeing the headline was to laugh and think of Saddam in the South Park movie singing “I can change, I can change. I don’t have to be a dirty little bastard.”

Defend the nation from WHAT? Mexico and Canada? No one is going to attack our country! We have more than enough nuclear weapons and Navy and Air Force junk.
‘…good programs. I think those have been sound decisions, and if that’s what they mean by saying I’ve changed, I’m guilty.”’
Yes, I think you are guilty too. You are guilty of torture policies if not actually directing them (Abu Gharib), murder (you intentionally murdered Saddam’s sons who could have been captured), and the war-crime of waterboarding those detainees at Gitmo.

he’ll be out of office soon and then mabye we can prosecute him civily and before you say he’ll only get a slap on the wrist, all him and his spineless yes-men need is ONE DAY in their own broken prison system and they will die.

If Mr. Shock treatment, woman abuser himself lauds anything you do, you just KNOW you’re sittin at Satan’s right hand.

Hey Draco? How about the thousands murdered on 911? Should they thank him for helping coordinate the attacks? God doesn’t favor any one country. In fact Daniel 2:44 prophesies that he will destroy ALL the world’s failed attempts to govern and set up his own.
How much do they pay you an hour to sell out goodness and disseminate your propaganda?
