The issue is that [Saddam] has chemical weapons.
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 think they're in the last throes, if you will, of the insurgency.
Dick Cheney

There's overwhelming evidence that there was a connection between Al Qaeda and the Iraqi government.
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.

Like many Americans, I've always been intrigued by Bill Clinton. I obviously didn't always agree with him - enjoyed running against his legacy in 2000, when Al Gore was his designated successor, but I don't have anything negative I would say about Bill Clinton.
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
I did my 40 years in Washington, 40-plus, and it's time to pause and reflect and think about what I've seen and done.
Dick Cheney
I believe that marriage is between a man and a woman. But I also believe that gay and lesbians and gay and lesbian couples, those who have been in long-term relationships, deserve to be treated respectfully, they deserve to have benefits.
Dick Cheney
Simply stated, there is no doubt that Saddam Hussein now has weapons of mass destruction. There is no doubt he is amassing them to use against our friends, against our allies, and against us.
Dick Cheney
I have not seen Al Gore's movie.
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
The important thing here to understand is that the people that are at Guantanamo are bad people. I mean, these are terrorists for the most part.
Dick Cheney
I want to avoid personal attacks, ... I promise not to make fun of your singing.
Dick Cheney
I was in end stage heart failure, liver and kidneys shutting down, and on an emergency basis they went in and planted a pump in my chest. It was battery operated. That kept me alive for 20 months and that got me to the transplant. And I wake up every morning now with a smile on my face, thankful for the gift of another day I never expected to see.
Dick Cheney
I think there’s no question but what the tail end of the Bush administration, Bush-Cheney administration, that we took steps specifically geared to try and free up the financial sector.
Dick Cheney
I had other priorities in the sixties than military service.
Dick Cheney
I think that freedom means freedom for everyone. As many of you know, one of my daughters is gay and it is something we have lived with for a long time in our family. I think people ought to be free to enter into any kind of union they wish. Any kind of arrangement they wish.
Dick Cheney
