Instead, the terrorists see just what they were hoping for, our unity gone, our resolve shaken, our leaders distracted. In short, they see weakness and opportunity.

More quotes by Dick Cheney
I had other priorities in the sixties than military service.
Dick Cheney
I support the President's plan to amend the Constitution, banning same-sex marriage.
Dick Cheney
You've got a job to do, and because you've got a job to do, you've got to focus on that, so you don't have time for personal considerations.
Dick Cheney
I do not believe the President requires any additional authorization from the Congress before committing US forces to achieve our objectives in the Gulf.
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
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.
Dick Cheney
I don't pay a lot of attention, frankly, to what Barack Obama says.
Dick Cheney
We now have irrefutable evidence that [Saddam] has once again set up and reconstituted his program to take uranium, to enrich it to sufficiently high grade, so that it will function as the base material as a nuclear weapon. And there's no doubt about the fact that the level of effort has escalated in recent months.
Dick Cheney
We have to make America the best place in the world to do business.
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
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
My belief is we will, in fact, be greeted as liberators.
Dick Cheney
The issue is that [Saddam] has chemical weapons.
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
When George Bush asked me to sign on, it obviously wasn't because he was worried about carrying Wyoming. We got 70 percent of the vote in Wyoming, although those three electoral votes turned out to be pretty important last time around.
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
It will be necessary for us to be a nation of men, and not laws.
Dick Cheney
There comes a time when deceit and defiance must be seen for what they are. At that point, a gathering danger must be directly confronted. At that point, we must show that beyond our resolutions is actual resolve.
Dick Cheney
Another argument holds that opposing Saddam Hussein would cause even greater troubles in that part of the world, and interfere with the larger war against terror. I believe the opposite is true.
Dick Cheney
I don’t spend a lot of time thinking about my faults.
