Cheney Sums It Up for Obama

Nicely stated.

Cheney's thought that Obama's "social transformation" agenda is weakened by an admission that there is a war is interesting, because it extends Obama's 'social' (Statist) agenda worldwide, not just inside the US.

That implies a "one-world" thought-pattern which is, at the very least, naive and dangerous to actual US citizens who are not protected by a few thousand Secret Service folks with armored vehicles--you know, like the 277 people on NWA 253 who were NOT knicker-bombers.

Of course, achieving "one-world" transformation may require a few sacrifices, like the lives of your family members. You can volunteer them if you wish.

“As I’ve watched the events of the last few days it is clear once again that President Obama is trying to pretend we are not at war. He seems to think if he has a low key response to an attempt to blow up an airliner and kill hundreds of people, we won’t be at war. He seems to think if he gives terrorists the rights of Americans, lets them lawyer up and reads them their Miranda rights, we won’t be at war. He seems to think if we bring the mastermind of 9/11 to New York, give him a lawyer and trial in civilian court, we won’t be at war.

“He seems to think if he closes Guantanamo and releases the hard-core al Qaeda trained terrorists still there, we won’t be at war. He seems to think if he gets rid of the words, ‘war on terror,’ we won’t be at war. But we are at war and when President Obama pretends we aren’t, it makes us less safe. Why doesn’t he want to admit we’re at war? It doesn’t fit with the view of the world he brought with him to the Oval Office. It doesn’t fit with what seems to be the goal of his presidency – social transformation—the restructuring of American society. President Obama’s first object and his highest responsibility must be to defend us against an enemy that knows we are at war.”
