| Cheney warns terrorism deadlier than Nazis |
| 2006-10-25 |
| Halliburton! In an interview with conservative pundit Sean Hannity, Cheney warned the improvements in technology means fewer people could cause more harm. "Sixty, 70, 80 years ago when we were worried about the Nazis, we were talking about a situation where -- obviously, deadly -- 50 million lives lost in World War II, but it took the work of vast armies to do that," Cheney said. "Now because of modern technology, it's a whole different ball game. And you can have deadly capability and not even represent a state now, but just a group of terrorists living hidden in a society someplace, in Europe or someplace else that's basically friendly to the United States, that nonetheless has evil intentions and is prepared to kill thousands or hundreds of thousands of people." Cheney said if a terrorist gets his hands on a nuclear weapon and explodes it in a major metropolitan area, "the casualties could rival all the losses we've had in 230 years of American history in our conflicts." On politics, Cheney called Illinois Sen. Barack Obama an attractive candidate but too green to take on the presidency, with only two years in the Senate under his belt. |

| #4 "cheap political ploys like this feeble attempt at tapping into WW II iconograpy." Either treat these "worse than the Nazis" scum with all out brutality or fold up the tent and get the hell out of the Iraqi cesspool. Let them have had it and tear themselves apart. |

| #3 #1 "I would say, if you want credibility, Mr. VP, then start to act like your words are meaningful." Here, here! More air power, more leveling of the cities and mosques where the Jihadi scum reside and to hell with world opinion. If you're not prepare to do this, then stop with the Nazi rhetoric and cheap political ploys liking this feeble attempt at tapping into WW II iconograpy. |

| #1 I would say, if you want credibility, Mr. VP, then start to act like your words are meaningful. We know the potential for small groups to do great damage is now fact. Why are the borders unguarded ? WMD's can be brought in freely. Anyone who is paying attention knows this. Why is this administration adamant about leaving our borders and ports unprotected ? Even worse, Border Patrol Agents, doing their duty, are prosecuted and convicted for long jail terms. This is total undermining of US national security. Border Patrol ought to have the capability to shoot on sight anyone illegally penetrating US territory. No questions asked. No arrest. No returns. Just dead corpses laying in the open. Within 3 days, this would be well known across the world. Only this kind of determined action, not the folly of fencing alone, can stop this madness. Other than hollow talk, what has this administration done ? |
