If we have reason to believe someone is preparing an attack against the U.S., has developed that capability, harbours those aspirations, then I think the U.S. is justified in dealing with that, if necessary, by military force.

More quotes by Dick Cheney
I support the President's plan to amend the Constitution, banning same-sex marriage.
Dick Cheney
Whoever controls the flow of Persian Gulf oil has a stranglehold not only on our economy but also on the other countries of the world as well.
Dick Cheney
I worry very much that we're in a situation now where there doesn't appear to be any limitation whatsoever in terms of the spending commitments that Obama's administration wants to make. Vast expansion in terms of the deficit, but it also says a lot about what they intend for the role of government in the society.
Dick Cheney
The plan was criticized by some retired military officers embedded in TV studios. But with every advance by our coalition forces, the wisdom of that plan becomes more apparent.
Dick Cheney
The biggest threat we face is the possibility of terrorist groups like al Qaeda equipped with weapons of mass destruction, with nukes, bugs or gas. That was the threat after 9/11 and when we took down Saddam Hussein we eliminated Iraq as a potential source of that.
Dick Cheney
One of the problems we have as a government is our inability to keep secrets. And it costs us, in terms of our relationship with other governments, in terms of the willingness of other intelligence services to work with us, in terms of revealing sources and methods. And all of those elements enter into some of these leaks.
Dick Cheney
I've been extraordinarily fortunate that I've been able to go live a very active, stressful life. And I don't believe that my heart disease changed me for the worst.
Dick Cheney
I think the key that happened on 9/11 is we went from considering terrorist attacks as a law enforcement problem to considering terrorist attacks, especially on the scale we have on 9/11, as being an act of war.
Dick Cheney
I don’t spend a lot of time thinking about my faults.
Dick Cheney
I think you can not be blown off course by the fluctuations in the public opinion polls.
Dick Cheney
We need to have a pro-growth policy put in place that offers people hope and offers the opportunity for businesses to expand and for them to have confidence in what the world is going to look like for the next two or three or four years with respect to economic policy.
Dick Cheney
I can't think of a time when we've had a region emerge as suddenly to become as strategically significant as the Caspian.
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
Rarely has a U.S. president been so wrong about so much at the expense of so many.
Dick Cheney
It will be necessary for us to be a nation of men, and not laws.
Dick Cheney
Cheney, Cheney, you can't hide, we charge you with genocide.
Dick Cheney
My own belief is that the way we grow the economy, create jobs, create wealth is in the private sector. The government doesn't do that.
Dick Cheney
I'm absolutely convinced that the threat we face now, the idea of a terrorist in the middle of one of our cities with a nuclear weapon, is very real and that we have to use extraordinary measures to deal with it.
Dick Cheney
President Bush gave me a tremendous opportunity to serve as the vice president. I enjoyed very much having the opportunity to be a part of his team. He told me at the outset, he wanted me to sign on to be a part of his team - and he was true to his word, kept it. He was tough. He was decisive. He was also a pretty good politician.
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
