More quotes by 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
I think freedom means freedom for everybody.
Dick Cheney
As a former secretary of defense, I think Donald Rumsfeld is the best secretary of defense the United States has ever had.
Dick Cheney
When we get people who are more concerned about reading the rights to an Al Qaeda terrorist than they are with protecting the United States against people who are absolutely committed to do anything they can to kill Americans, then I worry.
Dick Cheney
The issue is that [Saddam] has chemical weapons.
Dick Cheney
We've never made the case, or argued the case, that somehow Osama Bin Laden was directly involved in 9/11. That evidence has never been forthcoming.
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.

Except for the occasional heart attack, I never felt better.
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
I'm often asked why I left politics and went to Halliburton and I explain that I reached the point where I was mean-spirited, short-tempered and intolerant of those who disagreed with me and they said 'Hell, you'd make a great CEO', so I went to Texas and joined the private sector.
Dick Cheney
We have to make America the best place in the world to do business.
Dick Cheney
What we did in Iraq was exactly the right thing to do. If I had it to recommend all over again, I would recommend exactly the same course of action.
Dick Cheney
Conservation may be a sign of personal virtue, but it is not a sufficient basis for a sound, comprehensive energy policy.
Dick Cheney
I think I was able to survive five heart attacks because I never postponed going to the hospital when something didn't feel right.
Dick Cheney
I had other priorities in the sixties than military service.
Dick Cheney
A little tough talk in the midst of a campaign or as part of a presidential debate cannot obscure a record of 30 years of being on the wrong side of defense issues.
Dick Cheney
The days of looking the other way while despotic regimes trample human rights, rob their nations' wealth, and then excuse their failings by feeding their people a steady diet of anti-Western hatred are over.
Dick Cheney
I don’t spend a lot of time thinking about my faults.
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.
