Title: Cheney says no one saw financial crisis coming
Post by: Americanhero1 on January 08, 2009, 07:20:01 PM
WASHINGTON – Vice President Dick Cheney said Thursday that he sees no reason for President George W. Bush to pre-emptively pardon anyone at the CIA involved in harsh interrogations of suspected terrorists. "I don't have any reason to believe that anybody in the agency did anything illegal," he said. In an interview with The Associated Press, Cheney also said that Bush has no need to apologize for not foreseeing the economic crisis.

"I don't think he needs to apologize. I think what he needed to do is take bold, aggressive action and he has," Cheney said.

"I don't think anybody saw it coming," he said.

During a wide-ranging interview lasting about 25 minutes in West Wing office, Cheney also said Iran remains at the top of the list of foreign policy challenges that President-elect Barack Obama will face. He said an "irresponsible withdrawal" from Iraq now would be ill-advised. And he said he's confident that North Korea helped Syria build a reactor — a site that Israel suspected of being a nuclear installation and bombed in 2007.

After Obama takes the oath of office on Jan. 20, the 67-year-old Cheney plans to possibly write a book and spend time with his wife, Lynne, their two daughters and six grandchildren. He and his wife will split their time between their house in Virginia and their hometown of Casper, Wyo.

An avid angler, Cheney said the first river he wants to fish is the South Fork of the Snake River on the Wyoming-Idaho border.

In all fairness to Cheney I don't think the nations finances were what he was spending time on. I think after 911 he spent most of his time on national security. Moreover I think that the GOP saw it would be painted as the party that picks on the downtrodden if they tried to expose the subprime crises and avoided the issue like a case of aids.

Funny, I've been reading reports from guys like Peter Schiff and Max Keiser who've been calling this meltdown for years.  I'm glad I pulled my money out of the stock market.

Somebody should send this to Cheney before his next heart attack.  I'll introduce him to the one who saw it coming years in advance and is as wise as Solomon and bold as David, one of the few people who truly grasp how the economy functions, the incomparable Peter Schiff:

The networks put him on as a goof thinking he was like a loon in the woods.  Turns out everything he predicted came true and this video has gone viral with nearly a million views.  All the stockbrokers on the floor of the NY stock exchange have seen it and how prescient he was.

Cheney is a man never to be trusted.  He's had more heart attacks in his life than moments of truth.
