Dick Cheney

9/11

Template:FD Vice President Dick Cheney was in the White House during the attack. He said he learned of the attack from a clerical secretary. In an interview with Tim Russert on NBC, Cheney indicated that the President made the decision that day to scramble fighter jets. This is contrary to standard operating procedures, and raises the question of whether and why the President delayed the scrambling of jets. According to the 9/11 Commission's report, Vice President Dick Cheney did not issue orders to shoot down hostile aircraft on September 11, 2001, until long after the last hijacked airliner had already crashed.

Bush said it was important for him and Cheney to appear together before the 9/11 Commission so that commission members could "see our body language... how we work together." Cheney and Bush testified in the Oval Office, not under oath and the session was not officially transcribed. Initially, Bush insisted that he testify only to the Chairman and Vice Chairman of the commission, but later agreed to testify before the full panel.

George Carlin	“This whole country has a manhood problem, biiiiiig manhood problem in the USA. You can tell from the language we use; language always gives you away. What did we do wrong in Vietnam? We pulled out! Huh? Not a very manly thing to do is it? When you’re fucking people, you gotta stay in there and fuck them good! Fuck ‘em all the way! Fuck ‘em ‘til the end! Fuck ‘em to death! Fuck ‘em to death! Fuck ‘em to death! Stay in there and keep fucking them until they’re all dead! We left a few women and children alive in Vietnam and we haven’t felt good about ourselves since. That’s why in the Persian Gulf George Bush had to say “this will not be another Vietnam!” He actually used these words, he said: “This time, we’re going all the way!” Imagine, an American president using the sexual slang of a 13-year-old to describe his foreign policy. If you wanna know what happened in the Persian Gulf, just remember the names of the two men who were running that war: Dick Cheney and Colin Powell… somebody got fucked in the ass!”	George Carlin
Indira Singh	“If we do, if everyone works together, and comes real close to, ehm, closing them down, you will see the mother of all terrorist attacks.”	Indira Singh
