[SIZE=2]Arrest Cheney for Terrorist Threats?[/SIZE]

USA Today article Some see Cheney's terror remark as 'fear strategy' By Martin Kasindorf, USA TODAY Vice President Cheney was not campaigning Wednesday, but his suggestion a day earlier that electing John Kerry would risk a "devastating" terrorist attack kept agitating the political arena. Democrats denounced Cheney's statement as part of a "fear strategy" and sought to capitalize on it to attack President Bush and raise money. Republicans interpreted the remark to try to make it sound less partisan. Cheney said Tuesday in Des Moines that if voters make the "wrong choice" Nov. 2, "the danger is that we'll get hit again, and we'll be hit in a way that will be devastating from the standpoint of the United States."

Sounds to me like he has prior knowledge, who has Dick been hangin with?
This sounds like an outright terrorist threat to me....If you dont vote for us your dead. You will be hit in a devastating way. However if you vote Republican, they can call off the attacks. Cheney is famous for doing business with the so-called "Axis of Evil" member Iran. GW Bush was forewarned of 911 and did nothing to prevent it, he did make sure he was far away from all the action, so if Cheney threatens us with disaster maybe we should all just hurry out and register Republican. Nah, just kidding. Its sad though, that they would stoop to scare tactics. What do you expect from these gangsters though?

These criminals cant woo voters with convincing speeches that deal with the issues and concerns of the masses. They cater to the mega rich and play on the fears of the weak for support. IMO.

Obviously Cheney's remark was just (inflammatory) political rhetoric.

In my opinion, starting a thread to suggest the possibility that Cheney might be arrested for a terrorist threat is also (equally inflammatory) political rhetoric. Such an exaggeration strains credulity.

Why not call the statement for what it is-- an overblown political scare tactic. I think many of our Republican friends might agree.

We have come a long way since FDR galvanized the republic with the admonition: "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself." These days, if the terrorists seek to cultivate fear, Cheney & Bush are doing that job for them. We are constantly reminded by the current administration that "evil thugs" are plotting to "destroy our way of life."

Katar,

Yeah I agree with you. But people have been paid visits from the government for far less.

Arrest Cheney for terrorist threats ?
Kids.

This is all about politics, where the word "mercy" is not being recognized or listed into its "menu", but money.

In this NWO these guys are using the same tactics as Saddam Hussein to get re-elected. Terror. Supposedly, (they would have us believe, after all the other excuses turned to crap) it is for this reason that we bombed the sh!t out of Baghdad and crushed her children under the pre-emptive boots of Empire. Supposedly this type of dictatorship will get the USA bombed and trampled and occupied by some benevolent foreign power, who only wants to liberate us. Who wants to give us fair and free elections.

Cheney hates us for our freedoms, thats why he pushed through, with stealth and guile, the Patriot Act. Under not only the mere threat of anthrax attacks, the Dems were forced to sign into law, this terrorist crime against all Americans.
Since we have not arrested anyone for these terrorist attacks that means we are harboring terrorists. This gives those in office the power to attack "We the People" even though all of the anthrax attacks were blatant attacks on the left side of the aisle. The motive is there and the modus operandi, these guys have no problem killing innocents for profit and power.

9/11 is NOT something I believe should be this blatantly abused for political gain.

Still, Cheny has as much right to free speech as any of the rest of us. His statemnt was legal and within his rights. Arresting him is ridiculous.

However it is a shameful and irresponsible statement. Perhaps the most shameful statement I have ever heard of in American politics. He did neither himself nor President Bush any favors with this.

Here is another example of how Cheney could have called off a terrorist attack, but didnt, because the attack would bring certain and desired results.

From infowars.com

Wargames Now that we have established how NORAD were confused, delayed and distracted by the numerous wargames, the next question to ask is who if anyone was aware of which planes were 'real world' and which planes were 'exercise'? The answer to this question will provide us with the name of the individual who ran the operatonal execution of the 9/11 attack. Dick Cheney. Cheney was initially taken by the secret service to an underground bunker in the White House called the Presidential Emergency Operations Center. From there, according to CNN, Cheney directed the US government's response to the unfolding attack. Secretary of Transportation Norman Mineta was in the Presidential Emergency Operating Center with Vice President Cheney as Flight 77 approached Washington, D.C. On May 23, 2003 in front of the 9/11 Commission, Secretary Mineta testified: "During the time that the airplane was coming in to the Pentagon, there was a young man who would come in and say to the Vice President, "The plane is 50 miles out." "The plane is 30 miles out." And when it got down to "the plane is 10 miles out," the young man also said to the Vice President, "Do the orders still stand?" And the Vice President turned and whipped his neck around and said, "Of course the orders still stand. Have you heard anything to the contrary?" As the plane in question hit the Pentagon, what else can we conclude but that the 'order' was not to shoot down the aircraft and to let it find its target. Mineta stated that he did not know what the 'order' was because he wasn't there when it was made. After the Pentagon was hit, Cheney was transfered to another bunker in what the Philadelphia Daily News describes as 'the underground Pentagon'.

Gore: Cheney 'Wrong Choice' Remark Sleazy By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NY Times Published: September 9, 2004 PITTSBURGH (AP) -- Vice President Dick Cheney's remark that ``the wrong choice'' by voters could result in another terrorist attack was ``a sleazy and despicable effort to blackmail voters with fear,'' Al Gore said Thursday. The former vice president criticized the Bush-Cheney administration -- which he repeatedly called the Bush-Halliburton administration -- for their ``failed record'' on the economy, health care and the war in Iraq during a speech before about 200 supporters at the headquarters of the United Steelworkers of America. ``The claim by Bush and Cheney that the American people must give them four more years in office or else be 'hit hard' by another terrorist attack is a sleazy and despicable effort to blackmail voters with fear,'' Gore said. ``They are going back to the ugliest page in the Republican playbook: fear,'' he said. ``They're not even really trying to convince you to vote for George Bush. Their only hope, they've decided, is to try and make you too afraid to vote for John Kerry. It's the lowest sort of politics imaginable. It is not worthy of a presidential candidate.'' Cheney told supporters in Des Moines, Iowa, on Tuesday that, if Kerry were elected, the United States risked falling back into a ``pre-9/11 mind-set'' that terrorist attacks are criminal acts that require a reactive approach. ``It's absolutely essential that eight weeks from today, on Nov. 2, we make the right choice, because if we make the wrong choice then the danger is that we'll get hit again and we'll be hit in a way that will be devastating from the standpoint of the United States,'' Cheney said. Gore joined other Democrats, including Kerry and running mate John Edwards, in condemning Cheney's statement. President Bush declined to discuss the issue with reporters on Wednesday. White House spokesman Scott McClellan said Cheney was talking about differences in how Bush and Kerry would approach the war on terror. Gore also criticized Bush over Labor Department statistics showing the country has a net loss of 913,000 jobs since he took office. ``It takes real work doing the wrong things in order to counter the natural momentum of the U.S. economy,'' he said. ``But this president is now, along with Herbert Hoover, the only one to end up giving our country a net loss of jobs'' since the Great Depression.
