In an interview with Politico, Dick Cheney made all sorts of idiotic distortions and drew insane conclusions. Much of what he said weakens the United States and invites terrorist attacks against us.

I'd love to see the Obama administration PR these comments by Cheney so as to expose them as a major, sick, blunder by Cheney, who is acting out of such bitterness that he would weaken the U.S. against terrorist attacks.
"He warned that there is a "high probability" that terrorists will attempt a catastrophic nuclear or biological attack in coming years, and said he fears the Obama administration’s policies will make it more likely the attempt will succeed."
Basically here he is here advertising to terrorists his belief that this is a good time to wage a nucleur attack against us. He is saying that we have a weak President now and weak anti-terrorist policies. This of course would perk up the ears of any potential terrorists.
He spoke on Guantanamo as well, with this gem of idiotic distortion:
"When we get people who are more concerned about reading the rights to an Al Qaeda terrorist than they are with protecting the United States against people who are absolutely committed to do anything they can to kill Americans, then I worry," Cheney said.
And then he alleged more strongly than ever the idiotic oversimplification that everyone in the media let him get away with for the past 5 years:
"If it hadn’t been for what we did—with respect to the terrorist surveillance program, or enhanced interrogation techniques for high-value detainees, the Patriot Act, and so forth—then we would have been attacked again," he said. "Those policies we put in place, in my opinion, were absolutely crucial to getting us through the last seven-plus years without a major-casualty attack on the U.S."
And the rooster thinks that the sun rises because he crows.
