    Dick Cheney for Presidency 2016 & 2020!

    We're in deep do-do and Cheney is looking good. Otherwise this story says nothing. Actually even with the do-do it still says nothing.

  3. maximusvad

    We were in deeper doo doo when CHeney was VP.

    "spoke really clearly, lucidly.”

    Pretty rare for any Republican.

  5. glioblastomarunner

    Yeah, heres a guy i'd listen closely to on world affairs.

    Any war is a good war for Cheney, he doesn't care how many of your kids die, it's all just profits to him.

  7. enuff

    What intell has he been privilege to? How would he know what is known 100%? By the way...he said "doo doo."

  8. Biglansing

    Why does any ever listen to this guy? Not one of his predictions has ever been right – ever!

  9. Ped

    Why would the advice of a profiteering war criminal ever be treated with credibility? The only reason the DPRK situation is "dire" in Cheney's view is because the DPRK has more boiled cabbage than it does crude oil.

    I know that many news informers pick the pictures based on partisan tastes, but it would be good once in a while if pictures that displayed the real interior state of the person would be used.... no matter how one likes or does not like the person. This picture for example reveals Cheney as taking smug delight in some thing... but it was not taken with regard to this warning about North Korea. Democrats and Republicans that I know would not take such delight in these types of serious issues and it would be good if our news reporters reported those common points of unity. In the end, this picture reveals more about the partisan character of the reporting team than it does of the real state of Cheney. It is a frustration I have as a professor in a university. The precept that journalists should use should be to reveal the real state of the people and situations which they explore rather than the journalistic likes and dislikes of themselves.This then allows the stories and pictures to reveal more fully the situation, and thus to become more transparent to what is happening, rather than to the tastes of the journalist (s) writing the story and taking the pictures. Does it mean the journalist can be completely transparent? No, but the ideal should be to be that transparent medium that sheds light upon people and situations, and the better journalists shine more light by pushing aside their tastes and doing their best to manifest what they write about.

    Cheney says we are in deep problems over North Korea....Thank God neither he nor George W are in office! We would already be at war again in Korea!

    If it were not for Bush/Cheney we would not be the laughing stock we are now

  12. David ben Cohen

    Can't the guy just retire and ride off into the sunset, leaving the rest of us alone? Or, do you think he's just itchin' to start yet another needless, costly war? Come on man, go home!


    Yes. Halliburton is running low on funds – let Cheney start another war.

  14. gino

    Go away, you baby-talking war-monger, who avoided military service four times at least.

  15. mommytwice

    Yeeeaahhh...kind of done with Cheney's advice. Go away, Mr. Cheney.

  16. Trevor

    Dick Cheney...not exactly a voice of reason on foreign affairs. Why is he even invited to those types of meetings?

  17. NFLD thought

    Isn't that cute? Cheney thinks he still matters

    No one really gives a doo doo what Mr Cheney thinks. Whatever his opinion is on the course of needed action, the exact opposite should be implemented.

  19. Michael

    Wow, Dick! Thanks a lot. That was a really helpful and insightful critique of the siuation.

  20. Charles

    And we're interested in what Cheney thinks because he & Bush did such a great job on foreign policy, I guess.

  21. Polopoint

    And Cheney should know about deep doo-doo.

  22. kurtinco

    Really? Warmonger Cheney thinks Kim Jong Un doesn't share the United States worldview. Impressive analysis. Time to drop a bomb. The GOP is in deep doo doo, alright, if they keep inviting this treasonous murder to their leadership/policy sessions.

  23. Riveting

    Very profound words from Dr. Evil. I'm sure his advice would be similar to his advise on Iraq. "Invade"

  24. true American

    He wants 3rd world war to start so his company and friends can profit

  25. Puddin

    Cheney is reported to have said "We are in deep doo-doo." He should know all about that, now shouldn't he? Cheney should stay in his man-cave wherever that is and stay quiet. His "advise" caused the US to be in the deepest doo-doo ever, and we don't need anymore of his "advise" on anything. I don't care how he looks in that cowboy hat.
