Here's the conversation that ensued, including Raddatz's original comment. Video of the exchange follows.

RADDATZ: Two-thirds of Americans say it's not worth fighting.

CHENEY: So.

RADDATZ: So? You don't care what the American people think?

CHENEY: No. I think you cannot be blown off course [such as trying to lie us into invading Iran] by the fluctuations in the public opinion polls. There has in fact been fundamental change and transformation and improvement for the better. That's a huge accomplishment. [end of excerpt]

Psychopaths really do think we're a bunch of idiots, and in Raging Dick's case, that we can't see his pattern of doing everything he could to make things as bad as possible in Iraq, until it served his masters' purposes to arrange a "victory" for the benefit of those in Congress who want to remain in office. 

Another aspect of this bit of candor is that now that he's getting so close to completing his plans to kill most of the people on the planet, it's hard for him  to pretend to be concerned with what a couple hundred million of them think.  But when it served his purposes to provoke war, he could always be relied upon to play the "world's greatest democracy" card.

"Five years after the US-led invasion, Iraq faces a major humanitarian crisis, with law and order and economic recovery a distant prospect, international aid and human rights groups said Monday."

Red Cross, Amnesty paint grim picture of post-invasion Iraq
 

"The best way we can honor them [the US soldiers whom Bush has sacrificed for Satan] is by making sure that their sacrifice was not in vain. [i.e. by continuing the glorious struggle]  Five years ago tonight, I promised the American people that in the struggle ahead "we will accept no outcome but victory."  Today, standing before men and women who helped liberate a nation, I reaffirm the commitment. The battle in Iraq is noble, it is necessary, and it is just. [excuse me: barf]  And with your courage, the battle in Iraq will end in victory. [meaning what?] God bless."  [Coming from a monster who is bound for perdition, that's really touching.]

I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow PRIVATE BANKS TO CONTROL THE ISSUE OF THEIR CURRENCY, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around [the banks] will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up HOMELESS on the continent their fathers conquered. The ISSUING POWER SHOULD BE TAKEN FROM THE BANKS AND RESTORED TO THE PEOPLE, TO WHOM IT PROPERLY BELONGS. [emphasis added]

Thomas Jefferson, Letter to the Secretary of the Treasury Albert Gallatin (1802)
3rd president of US (1743 - 1826)

Jefferson's words have been borne out in spades by the recent bailout of Bear Stearns, followed by its mass layoffs and sale to J.P. Morgan for even less than the value of the headquarters-building!  Morgan, according to INN News of 3/18/08, also ended up vast holdings of foreclosed homes.  The decisions on which it was based were made by the Synarchist bankers, like Felix "the rat" Rohatyn (also personally involved in shutting down America's auto industry), who pull Bernanke's and Bush's strings, and Bernanke, Bush and his advisors were gathered around for a photo op to make it appear that they had something to do with the decision.   This is only the beginning, or as The Washington Post put it, the tip of the iceberg. 

We can effectively take back our power to issue credit for the common good, by insisting that Congress enact LaRouche's HBPA, and put an end to their planned hyperinflationary destruction of the global economy.

"These moves underscore the extreme sense of urgency at the Fed,'' said David M. Jones, a former New York Fed economist who has written four books on the central bank. "It seems unlikely the measures taken so far will calm the market down, but eventually they will stabilize the market.''

Fed Cuts Discount Rate, Lends More to Avert Meltdown
 

 Left: A very stable and sustainable economy 

It appears to me that the plan is to try "everything," and then throw up their hands and "confess" to be unable to save the economy, thus "requiring" fascist measures.  I can almost see the made-for-TV gatherings of "wise men" (Bush will be kept far away) pleading ignorance of solutions, claiming that we're in "uncharted waters" or some such lies.  The scripts have been written for years, and call for someone with experience at just this sort of thing - Michael Bloomberg.

An article entitled Nafha Society: "100 detainees under interrogation in Al Jalama prison, abused and isolated”  offers the usual cover-story for Satanism in the military: "interrogation."  But those who think will realize that Israel's use of such "interrogation" as part of ITS "war on terror" (a reign of terror against Palestinians, and indirectly, Israelis) undermines the claims that it's effective, because their "war on terror" has been going for decades.

The Fed is essentially a tool of private bankers, which has been illegally granted the power to issue money, a power which properly belongs to the federal government.  By issuing vast amounts of money to "save" the banks by paying off their gambling-debts, they are essentially stealing what value remains in dollar-denominated assets.  This will destroy the economy, the nation, and the banks - that is their ultimate goal. 

The only way to save the banks is to declare their bogus debt to be null and void, and to force them to start acting sanely again.  The Fed should be nationalized and forced to serve American interests, not those of its enemies.

In 'Signs of torture' you can't imagine, CNN essentially waves what amounts to evidence of Satanism under our noses, while acting as if it's not important to know who is responsible for such monstrous acts, or their motive. 

It has been well established that torture does not provide reliable intelligence except in the TV series 24, where Islamic-terrorist cartoon characters constantly scheme to unleash weapons of mass destruction upon the American public.  In real life, the "Islamic terrorists" work for our government, which has been feverishly working over the past 45 years or so to dismantle our physical economy, build a gargantuan debt-bomb (which LaRouche recently claimed is on the order of hundreds of quadrillions of dollars) and unleash it upon us in the form of hyperinflation.  So, the monster(s) behind the torture must have known that their victim would say anything to end the pain, and obtaining information could not have been their goal.

So, was the motive, as I've read elsewhere, to "send a message?"  Wouldn't that require someone to know the identity of the monsters, and wouldn't that allow our military to "git 'em?"  Yeah, right.

This still leaves the most likely motive - either the sort of SRA that must immediately precede possession in even the most "resistant" cases, or a case of someone who has already become possessed having "his" idea of fun. 

Facing death with a relatively clear conscience is bad enough.  But facing it after committing such torture, not knowing whether that crap Satan feeds his suckers is true (just that few if any who pursued "wizardry" ever made it), or whether there is some sort of cosmic justice that can't be rigged - that must be terrifying.

SILVER SPRING, Maryland, Mar 14 (IPS) - Hart Viges joined the U.S. Army the day after Sep. 11, 2001, in the belief that he could help make the world a safer place.

The term "haji" is used by U.S. soldiers in Iraq to degrade and dehumanise the Iraqi people.

Viges, like others who spoke, said that U.S. troops routinely detained innocent people during home raids.

"We never went on the right raid where we got the right house, much less the right person -- not once," he said.

US/IRAQ: "We Reacted Out of Fear, and With Total Destruction"  by Dahr Jamail

(Unless you assume that the purpose of the raids was to inflict terror and suffering and cause hatred, that is - in which case, you got the right place every time.  Why else would such an "ineffective" policy be continued so long?)
