More quotes by 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
I have not suggested there's a connection between Iraq and 9/11.
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
There's overwhelming evidence that there was a connection between Al Qaeda and the Iraqi government.
Dick Cheney
I can think of a lot of words to describe Senator Kerry's position on Iraq consistent is not one of them.
Dick Cheney
I had other priorities in the sixties than military service.
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
We do know, with absolute certainty, that Saddam Hussein is using his procurement system to acquire the equipment he needs in order to enrich uranium to build a nuclear weapon.
Dick Cheney
I reached a point towards the end on the old heart where I had trouble getting out of a chair. All I wanted to do was get out of bed in the morning and walk to my office and sit back down in the chair. Now I throw 50 pound bags of horse feed in the back of my pickup truck and I don't even think about it. I'm back doing those things.
Dick Cheney
If the Democratic policies had been pursued over the last two or three years... we would not have had the kind of job growth we've had.
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
I think it's fair to say you can't predict a straight line to victory. You know, there'll be good days and bad days along the way.
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
Rarely has a U.S. president been so wrong about so much at the expense of so many.
Dick Cheney
It's a tougher program for tougher customers.
Dick Cheney
We know he's been absolutely devoted to trying to acquire nuclear weapons, and we believe he has, in fact, reconstituted nuclear weapons.
Dick Cheney
I do find that the mainstream media oftentimes is what I would consider off base or has a bias.
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
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.
