Leon Panetta Explains It All
(begin sarcasm)
Thanks to Leon Panetta’s comment about Dick Cheney (”he’s [almost] wishing that this country would be attacked again, in order to make his point”), I finally have a grasp of history as revised by the Left.
You see, I now know that Winston Churchill wanted to see the Nazis rise in Germany.
I now know that Churchill wanted Hitler to break his word in that Sudetenland “peace in our time” deal the Fuhrer made with Neville Chamberlain. Not that Churchill expected Hitler to keep his word; he knew he wouldn’t. He wanted Hitler to break his word.
I now know that Churchill wanted Hitler to roll the tanks into Poland in 1939.
Churchill wanted the German tanks to run right around the supposedly impenetrable Maginot Line through Holland and Belgium and have them roll into Paris, so Hitler could then turn his attention to taking out Great Britain.
Isn’t it obvious? Churchill warned that these or very similar things would happen, and they did. Thus World War II is clearly all his fault. Chamberlain’s off the hook, a misunderstood hero.
(/sarcasm)
Seriously, if Churchill really wanted these events to happen in the name of partisanship or power, he would have shut his trap during the 1930s and waited for history to catch up with him. But he didn’t, because he was first and foremost a patriot and a statesman.
Likewise, if he really wanted to see another serious terrorist attack or a North Korean nuke on our own soil, Dick Cheney would shut his trap and let the Obama administration continue to demonstrate weakness, cut funding to key defense efforts, give more respect to our enemies than to our friends, and release the Gitmo terrorists without uttering a word.
But Dick Cheney has spoken out, precisely because above all he is a patriot and a statesman. God bless Dick Cheney.
Leon Panetta, in turning his critical office into yet another political arm of the Democratic Party, has shown himself to be unfit for that office. He should resign. An administration with even the slightest grasp of the importance of Panetta’s job would fire him. Neither will happen.
Dick Cheney forever; Leon Panetta, NEVER.
Give me a break! If you ask me it was many liberals after 9/11 who wanted to see the nation attacked so they could push their head-in-the-sand agenda on Bush. Pelosi strikes me as particularly being capable of such attitude.
Look what’s already happened since Obama began his reign of error: hotel bombings in Pakistan, North Korea firing nukes, riots and nuclear weapons testing in Iran and in Iraq the insurgency has been emboldened. Cheney doesn’t have to wait for America to be attacked (like Cheney, I hope to God it doesn’t happen but know if it doesn’t, it’ll be out of pure dumb luck not as a result of effort) his point has already been proven by the events above.

The same dolts who blame Cheney for torturing enemy combatants turn around and accuse him of wishing for another homeland attack. This is just another attempt to gag an opposing articulate voice. Cheney, the patriot, will most certainly not be intimidated.
