Dick Cheney
I don't pay a lot of attention, frankly, to what Barack Obama says.
Dick Cheney
[In response to the question Do you think that you underestimated the insurgency's strength?] I think so. I guess if I look back on it now, I don't think anybody anticipated the level of violence that we've encountered.
Dick Cheney
We must be prepared to face our responsibilities and be willing to use force if necessary.
Dick Cheney
Remember, success for a politician is 50% plus one. You don't have to have everybody on board.
Dick Cheney
With respect to the question of relationships, my general view is that freedom means freedom for everyone. People...ought to be free to enter into any kind of relationship they want to.
Dick Cheney
