I learned early on that if you don't want your memos to get you in trouble someday, just don't write any.
Dick Cheney
We have great information. They're going to welcome us. It'll be like the American Army going through the streets of Paris. They're sitting there ready to form a new government. The people will be so happy with their freedoms that we'll probably back ourselves out of there within a month or two.
Dick Cheney
In our own country, we take democratic values seriously - and so we always have a vigorous debate on the issues. That's part of the greatness of America, and we wouldn't have it any other way.
Dick Cheney
It's not just Bin Laden or just those that are involved in the counterterrorism effort. We've gotta cast the net broader than that. But I think it's a - very special tribute that we all owe to the bravery and courage of the men and women in the intelligence and military business who performed so well to finally get it done.

Dick Cheney
You can't fall back on the private sector and say, 'You take care of the nation's banking system.' That's a fundamental function of the government, the Federal Reserve, the Treasury and the FDIC, etc. All of those agencies have a major role to play there.
Dick Cheney
You know, in this business, you don't have any control over what the press says and how they portray things. And that's their prerogative. But I think anybody who looks at it objectively has trouble making the case that somehow this is a bad economy.
Dick Cheney
The question in my mind is how many additional American casualties is Saddam worth? And the answer is not very damned many.
Dick Cheney
Two days ahead of schedule, the world witnessed the arrival of a free and sovereign Iraq.
Dick Cheney
Remember, success for a politician is 50% plus one. You don't have to have everybody on board.
Dick Cheney
My belief is we will, in fact, be greeted as liberators.
Dick Cheney
It used to be you needed to have a very large sophisticated state before you could even have a nuclear weapon... Now the technology is widespread enough. It doesn't take very many people to be able to cobble together a devastating attack, and all it takes is one.
Dick Cheney
I wake up every morning literally with a smile on my face, grateful for another day I never thought I would see.
Dick Cheney
One of the worst things we could do is start to act now as though the attack of 9/11 is a thing of the past and will never be repeated. That's just not true.
Dick Cheney
Obviously, it's a big problem how do we provide quality care to the maximum number of people. And it's not an easy problem to solve.
Dick Cheney
In his years in Washington, Senator Kerry has been one vote of a hundred in the United States Senate - and fortunately on matters of national security, he was very often in the minority.
Dick Cheney
I'm up in the Senate most Tuesdays when they're in session.
