DICK CHENEY - AMERICA'S WAR CRIMINAL

For eight years a five time draft dodger with a self absorbed ego that compelled him to select himself to be the Vice-President in the Bush Administration and infect it with his self serving vision of America in the 21st Century to secure access to and profits from Iraq’s oil and to protect that ambition by a military that depends on a private sector business from which he also profits quite handsomely.

In essence Dick Cheney stands to profit in a state of war and he risks nothing to “perpetual war” on drugs, terrorism, radical Islam, which is really no different that radical Christianity or radical Judaism it just depends what side your own - you’re either with us or against us and since God is on our side “the others” must be evil - he sacrifices the lives of others for no other reason than personal profit disguised as patriotism.

If he was truly such a great American, if he had any honor at all he would transfer 64 of his 65 million dollars net worth to the Veterans Administration to pay for all those in uniform and their families who suffered from the folly of war that he never personally experienced in uniform.
Dick Cheney – American Coward – the un-American Dick Cheney pretending to be the voice of America warning that the enemy he is responsible for creating will strike again and blaming the Obama Administration for not committing the same crimes that resulted in a climate of retaliation.

Eight years later it is becoming more difficult to deny that Dick Cheney’s vision of America included preemptive war based on the deceit and deception of the American people, an absolute disregard for the freedoms contained in the Constitution he swore to protect and uphold replacing it with his definition of reality which included torturing “other people” to confess to that which would support his casus belli, his lie that led to loss of life and unimaginable suffering just to turn a profit.

That the man has recently crawled out from under the rock in some undisclosed location to pander his failed policy to a media complicit in giving credence again to someone who would clearly meet the definition of “war criminal” – a media in a ratings frenzy following his every pronouncement about “enhanced interrogation techniques” without daring to expose it as nothing more than Orwellian for torture.

Lyndon Johnson used the lie of Gulf of Tonkin and wasn’t held accountable. Richard Nixon was never held accountable for any of his innumerable high crimes or misdemeanors. Carter was held accountable for Iran. Ronald Reagan wasn’t held accountable for supply side economics or ordering support of the Contra guerrillas that mined Nicaraguan harbors. George H W Bush was never held accountable for his role in Iran Contra or the Savings and Loan Scandal but Bill Clinton was held accountable for getting blow job. Ironic that Democrats are held accountable while Republicans are not.

Today the indisputable facts are these: George Bush and Dick Cheney’s Administration violated: the “Convention Against Torture” signed by President Reagan, Article 146 of the Geneva Convention, Article 8 of the International Tribunal at Nuremberg and Article VI of our own Constitution and to date no one is held accountable except a “few bad apples” who followed the orders of war criminals who have no shame.

During the presidential campaign in 2008 Michele Obama claimed that for the first time in her adult life she felt proud of her country yet in the winter of my years without shame or surprise I experience nothing but disappointment that my country continues to look the other way when crimes are committed in my name and "change" means more of the same.
