Why do they even fight back at Cheney's criticisms? Are they concerned that Cheney is actually right and they need to find a way to counter him for public opinion?

Hold that thought. I thought the same thing while Obama steamrolled through last year's election, but look at the mess he's become (he's a naive little narcissist). The Republicans could put a vegetable up in 2012 and beat Obama handily...

Well, that certainly will dissuade people from smuggling drugs in China. I wish the U.S. would apply some of this to our Mexican border...

If Napalitono was an isolated incident, we could overlook it. Unfortunately, Obama has his cabinet filled with miscreants and criminals. At least with Bush, I thought his heart and head were in the right place even if he made mistakes. With Obama, it seems like everything has a hidden agenda attached to it.
Case in point. Obama recently pushed the Mortgage modification plan which spent $27B to convert 31,000 mortgages. That's $871K per mortgage, where the national average home price was $178K. Huh? Only in Obama's pretend world does that make sense, but then again, I'm just a bitter conservative (who doesn't like his tax dollars wasted)...

Liberals like to claim that Bush "shot from the hip" and didn't make thoughtful decisions, but think back to the Iraq war. The U.S. and Britain began operations on 3/20/2003 after being attacked on 9/11/2001. Some would say that he took too long, but that's hardly shooting from the hip.
I look forward to Obama leaving office to bring someone in who will take terrorism seriously. One only needs to look at Obama's homeland security secretary (Janet Napaolitano). She was a reasonable Governor, but when she said that "the system worked" regarding the Christmas day attack, she was obviously disconnected from reality (much like her boss).
Next stop, Yemen...

Nothing will change here. Obama views terrorists as criminals and doesn't have the backbone to do the right thing. Further, while U.S./Russian tensions were low during the Bush presidency, they're now increasing with Obama's cowardice (note Putin's recent statement that Russia will develop offensive weapons so that American can't "do what they want"). Obama is the worst thing that could have happened to the U.S. in this environment.

Interesting that most of the otaku standing around aren't paying much attention to them. Is it impolite to stare?

Seriously? You can attribute that more to Clinton than Bush. But, as liberals often do, they blame others instead of themselves. But on the wane? What world are you living in?

Interestingly, after Obama spoke about not resting until these terrorists were brought to justice, he returned to his golf game. What a milquetoast president we have. People voted for CHANGE in Obama, but they didn't realize it was of the negative variety...

I, for one, won't watch. These people make a living by pretending to be other people. Then, they alienate half of their audience (conservatives) with their incoherent political rants. If I want to here someone rambling away incoherently, I'll listen to Obama.

I think it's great that Walsh publicized the "Hot Coffee" mod for GTA San Andreas. I would have never known about it, otherwise, so I appreciate his efforts. It was another fun aspect to the GTA series.

Nothing will change. Political correctness will kill our ability to fight terrorists, or simply stop and question them in an airport for fear of offending them. Further proof is Obama's dislike for the phrase "war on terror." His milquetoast approach to dealing with terrorists is only emboldening them. One has to wonder which side he's on...

Environmental nazis who spend more time policing other people's energy use rather than focusing on their jobs.
And the worst, people who take credit for other people's work. I recall a co-worker who was never around when work was to be done, but was always present when it was time to take credit...

The U.S. knew that the Christmas day attacker was someone to watch (his own father communicated to the U.S. that he was a radical). It all comes down to people, and their ability to ignore "political correctness" and follow their gut. In the U.S. after 9/11, old ladies in wheelchairs were under high scrutiny, but a young muslim man was allowed to pass without question. This was done to prove to the world that we don't racial profile... Dangerous and ignorant, since one can name many muslim terrorist attempts, but none from old ladies in wheelchairs...
