Cheney’s Administration Seven Deadly Sins.
Bush may have been president, but Cheney was ruining the show.
This will be a short one, former President Bill Clinton left office with his reputation in ruins, but our country was okay basically. He left Bush with a surplus with the government, a country at peace with no attacks since the tragedy at Pearl Harbor. After just eight years in office, Bush leaves President Barack Obama with cleaning up the damage of the sins of his foreign and national policy. Cheney is telling the world he was the lead on many of these changes in mode of operations when it comes to prosecuting war. Here is a condensed list of seven of the worst sins the current administration is spending so much time cleaning up.:
1. A wrecked economy; The housing, banking and auto industries in complete chaos and collapse. Deficits.
2. Not one, but two wars; Afghanistan, which already broke Russia and Iraq for no good reason, except oil.
3. Rendition; We as a country are responsible for kidnapping people and shipping them away to be abused, tortured and held without due process of law.
4. Wiretapping; In the name of National Security by way of the Patriot Act, former President was able to label anyone an enemy combatant and bug their communication devices without warrant. Even Americans.
5. Torture; We, as citizens, gave permissions to our citizens to torture and abuse people suspected of being terrorist as rule of law was never allowed to be used to prove guilt or innocence.
6. Specifically about torture; Water boarding of prisoners of war to seek a connection of Iraq to the attacks on America on 9/11.
7. A damaged political party; The reputation of the Republican Party really took a terrible beating because of the damage done by the former President to the principles the party stood for. Their psyche in such ruins, they have nothing left to offer the country, but No, Limbaugh and Cheney. The country has had enough of him already.
