Cheney: Edelman’s Response To Sen. Clinton Was ‘A Good Letter’
Cheney: Edelman’s Response To Sen. Clinton Was ‘A Good Letter’
Earlier this month, Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) received a letter from Under Secretary of Defense Eric Edelman, who told her that her request for briefings from the Pentagon on the administration’s redeployment plans from Iraq was inappropriate:
Premature and public discussion of the withdrawal of U.S. forces from Iraq reinforces enemy propaganda that the United States will abandon its allies in Iraq, much as we are perceived to have done in Vietnam, Lebanon and Somalia. … [S]uch talk understandably unnerves the very same Iraqi allies we are asking to assume enormous personal risks.
Secretary of Defense Robert Gates then wrote an apology letter to Clinton, stating, “I truly regret that this important discussion went astray and I also regret any misunderstanding of intention. … I emphatically assure you that [the Defense Department does] not claim, suggest, or otherwise believe that congressional oversight emboldens our enemies, nor do we question anyone’s motives in this regard.”
Today, CNN aired a preview of Larry King’s interview tonight with the Vice President, in which Cheney contradicts his Secretary of Defense and states that he agrees with Edelman. “I agreed with the letter Eric Edelman wrote. I thought it was a good letter,” said Cheney. Watch it:
Perhaps not surprisingly, Edelman has close ties to Cheney. He served under Cheney, then Secretary of Defense, in the first Bush administration. At that time, Cheney set up a “shop” to “think about American foreign policy after the Cold War, at the grand strategic level.” The project also included Paul Wolfowitz and Scooter Libby. From 2001-2003, Edelman served as a national security adviser to Cheney.
Transcript:
KING: A member of the Department of Defense sent Hillary Clinton a letter, saying she should not criticize, because it helps the enemy. Do you agree with that letter?
CHENEY: Didn’t say she should not criticize. She was demanding the plans for withdrawal from Iraq.
KING: Do you agree with that letter?
CHENEY: I agreed with the letter Eric Edelman wrote. I thought it was a good letter.
KING: So you should not call for the plans for withdrawal?
CHENEY: No, there’s an important principle here, Larry, and that is — and a debate over what our policy ought to be is perfectly legitimate. What we don’t do is we don’t get into the business of sharing operational plans — we never have — with the Congress. And to get into that business would be — it would be for example, like saying during the course of Desert Storm we deployed Marines off the coast of Kuwait. We never planned to put those Marines ashore at Kuwait, but the Iraqis didn’t know that. So they put five or six divisions down there to block that. We wouldn’t release that kind of information or discuss that kind of information in advance of the operation.
When you get into the business of talking about operational planning by the Department of Defense, you don’t share that as a general proposition until you’re ready to actually go out and execute those orders, and then you might share it with the Congress at that point. But to get into the business now, where we’ve got all these contingencies, we always have got a lot of contingencies, where we’re going to start shedding those to respond to the political charges, such as those that Senator Clinton made, I think would be unwise.

Shorter Cheney: “F&ck you, America.”
Edelman was just following the Cheney royal lead: “Anyone who questions our brilliance is a traitor.”
July 31st, 2007 at 4:57 pmGee, I guess 70% of America is also reinforcing enemy agenda then?
When will Cheney realize he is only representing himself and a dozen people and not America?
July 31st, 2007 at 4:59 pmThat hissing sound you hear is Cheney pissing on the last flame of our democracy.
July 31st, 2007 at 5:02 pmIn a bookstore near you, someday: “Cheney in Chains”, or “IF, I Did It, I Don’t Remember”.
July 31st, 2007 at 5:02 pmCheney is the President of the United States and under his rule the American people have no rights. Elected Officials are to do as their told and don’t ask questions. Look at the mess this country is in now thanks to Cheney’s law. Cheney got a good lap dog in Gonzales. He does what Cheney tells him to do that’s why he was smiling at Specter during the hearing. Gonzo knew Cheney would never allow him to lose his job. Cheney has invaded the US Government and we will all fall. The Middle East will become stronger and the United States will be called the liars of the World. Even the UK will be leaving Iraq and Cheney knows it.
July 31st, 2007 at 5:03 pmDid you expect anything less from the Dark Lord. Sad that he doesn’t acknowledge Gates’ apology. He’s also wrong in stating operational plans aren’t discussed with Congress. They are all the time. There are appropriation committees held for all sorts of operations.
July 31st, 2007 at 5:03 pmDamn it Gates, how dare you rebuke Ed without Cheney’s approval!
July 31st, 2007 at 5:04 pmDon’t you know how this shit works yet?
Get with the program, dirtbag, or you’ll be back on another meaningless Iraq panel damn soon!
#2. When will we Americans stand up in numbers too large to ignore that this administration is in the last throes and need to be thrown out.
July 31st, 2007 at 5:04 pmWell, Cheney does not have to worry about telling the truth since his impeachment is quite unlikely. I wonder if he has the same kind of moment with Larry King as he did with Blitzer … probably not since CNN likely decided not to risk angering Cobblepot again.
July 31st, 2007 at 5:05 pmOK, let’s do an informal poll.
Richard Bruce Cheney, Man – or – Monster? (If monster, which one fits best??)
July 31st, 2007 at 5:06 pmThere goes that “emboldening” again. What is it with this “emboldening?” Also, does anyone realistically think there is a Al Qaeda office where someone reads the letters Hillary Clinton sends to Robert Gates?
July 31st, 2007 at 5:08 pmI would agree that the letter Hillary wrote was fine. I don’t think that demanding a plan for withdrawal was bad in and of itself, but that she did it in such a public way, well…she couldn’t have really expected the Pentagon to provide her with any details under such circumstances.
July 31st, 2007 at 5:09 pmShe’s not so stupid that she wouldn’t have realized that, so what was her motivation? To simply point out that there was no plan for redeployment. It seemed like a very political move on her part, not genuine concern for the troops.
The reason cheney liked edelman’s letter is that he’s the one who wrote it.
Anytime a federal agency gets a letter from someone in Congress, cheney gets a copy. This is an SOP cheney established as soon as he took control of the federal government in 2000.
When cheney received his fax copy of Clinton’s letter, he called edelman and then faxed the canned response rebuking the initial inquirer for questioning cheney’s foreign policy. And that’s the letter edelman sent back to Clinton that started the spat between them.

July 31st, 2007 at 5:11 pmI turned Cheney off a long time ago. He’s a lunatic.
July 31st, 2007 at 5:13 pmWhy is Cheney portrayed as Darth? He looks more like Jaba the Hut.

July 31st, 2007 at 5:16 pmI can hardly wait for the hardball questions tonight and in the future. Shame that mr. king and the rest of his ilk has no guts, no balls, no morals, no scruples, no responsibility other than promotion of whatever they’re paid to overlook, obfuscate, deny and glorify.
#17 ~ OK, but which Lon Cheney? Senior was the original Phantom of the Opera, and Jr. was the Wolfman
July 31st, 2007 at 5:16 pmI turned Cheney off a long time ago. He’s a lunatic.
Comment by Fools on the Hill
Be careful there! He is the president of the US…. AND he is drunk and has a loaded shotgun AND a man-sized safe in his oval office!
July 31st, 2007 at 5:16 pmCheney: “Larry, we are living in Military dictatorship, and I’m in control. Please stop worrying about things, and just go on with your daily lives”
So, Cheney is the only one in the “Congress” who deserves to know operational details of Executive Branch programs? There’s just got to be more to this then they are letting on.

July 31st, 2007 at 5:18 pmWrong Vice President Cheney! I would call it an excellent letter.
July 31st, 2007 at 5:18 pm“Congressional oversight emboldens the enemy” = “Congressional oversight is d*mned inconvenient to a dicktator”
July 31st, 2007 at 5:19 pmThe Constitution emboldens the enemy.
July 31st, 2007 at 5:21 pmAnd why is it relevant for us to listen to a constitutional nullity like Mr. Cheney, when the topic is the president’s defense policiy, as articulated by his SecDef, and misinterpreted by one of his underlings? A crude misinterpretation that the SecDef has since apologized for.
As Mr. Fourth Estate should know, because he hides at one end of PA Ave when he’s wanted at the other, if Prezelnit wants money for his Defense Dept, it’s usually good practice to play well with the boys and girls on the Defense Appropriations Committees.
July 31st, 2007 at 5:23 pm“What we don’t do is we don’t get into the business of sharing operational plans — we never have — with the Congress.”
July 31st, 2007 at 5:24 pmIsn’t Cheney, per Cheney, a member of Congress?
Irretrievably arrogant a$$. This bastard DOES NOT represent the US and the large majority of its citizens.
July 31st, 2007 at 5:24 pmWrong Vice President Cheney! I would call it an excellent letter.

Cheney has higher standards than you.
Did the letter tell Hillary, literally, to “go f*ck herself”?
I thought not.
July 31st, 2007 at 5:24 pmThe only thing that emboldens enemies of America are those who would desire to see us let our leaders chip away at the Constitution.

July 31st, 2007 at 5:27 pmOsama has been winning the battle against America the day Bush came into office, and he continues as we permit cheney and bush to rule. It is their manner of ruling America that fits into his plan.
July 31st, 2007 at 5:28 pmOK, but which Lon Cheney? Senior was the original Phantom of the Opera, and Jr. was the Wolfman

Tough call…I’d have to go with Sr., though. He was creepier by far than Jr.
July 31st, 2007 at 5:30 pmOsama has been winning the battle against America the day Bush came into office,
He seemed to do pretty well with the previous administration also, unless you believe that sitting on his thumb was a good thing for Clinton to do when dealing with Bin Laden(D-SA).
Waddya say, should we have a solidarity march to condemn thumb sitting?

July 31st, 2007 at 5:37 pmIf the vice president is the chainee,the only question left to ask is, who will be the chainer .
July 31st, 2007 at 5:38 pmMy fear is that the rest of the government isn’t up to the responsibility and that leaves the final responsibility ,as Jefferson said ,in the hands of THE PEOPLE.

July 31st, 2007 at 5:39 pm#42 George Bush was President at the time of the 9/11 attacks, and it was George Bush who ignored multiple warnings, including warnings from Sandy Berger, Richard Clarke and others in the Clinton administration. Trying to blame the Clinton administration doesn’t change this fact.

Yes, there was the usual bureaucratic bumbling, and there were missed opportunities, but the Clinton Administration made numerous efforts over many years to thwart bin Laden and Al Qaeda:
The CIA created a virtual station to track bin Laden.
July 31st, 2007 at 5:54 pmAmerican diplomats pressed Sudan to expel bin Laden.
State Dept. circulated a dossier that accused bin Laden of financing radical Islamic causes around the world.
NSA eavesdropped on telephone lines used by Al Qaeda and broke up one Al Qaeda unit as a result.
Ordered cruise missile strike on Al Qaeda camp in Afghanistan.
The United States disrupted other Al Qaeda cells, and got several Al Qaeda members prosecuted in Egypt.
President Clinton approved the use of lethal covert force against bin Laden and a dozen of his top lieutenants.
Four times Clinton authorized the CIA to kill or capture bin Laden.
The C.I.A. stationed submarines in the Indian Ocean to track bin Laden’s movements in preparation for a cruise missile attack.
The White House asked the Joint Chiefs of Staff to develop plans for a commando raid to capture or kill bin Laden. The Pentagon balked.
Clinton administration tried to choke off Al Qaeda’s financial network by threatening states and banks with sanctions if they dealt with the terrorist group.
In 1999 and 2000, some $255 million of Taliban-controlled assets was blocked in United States accounts.
Arrested Ahmed Ressam when he tried to enter the United States in Port Angeles, Wash., on Dec. 14, 1999. Ressam had 130 pounds of bomb-making chemicals.
In March 2000, the FBI, started a series of anti-terrorism seminars with agents who headed the bureau’s 56 field offices, encouraging them to hire more Arabic translators and develop better sources of information.
The FBI asked for money for a computer system that would allow various field offices to share and analyze information collected by agents–the Republican Congress initially said no.
In September 2000, an unarmed, unmanned spy plane flew over Afghanistan searching for bin Laden.
In October 2000, the administration unsuccessfully tried to kill bin Laden.

July 31st, 2007 at 6:00 pmIraq’s parliament went on a one-month hiatus Tuesday afternoon, having not passed any significant legislation. Bush had outlined 4 ‘benchmarks’ last January that the Iraqi government needed to meet by June. These were passage of a petroleum law, passage of a law specifying distribution of the petroleum revenues, revisions of debaathification rules [which harm Sunni Arabs], and progress on Sunni-Shiite reconciliation. Nothing has been accomplished on any of these fronts.

July 31st, 2007 at 6:32 pmEdelman and Cheney are wrong to suggest that a senator can’t perform her Congressional oversight duties and to do so aids the enemy. Cheney and Edelman should remember that we still have checks and balances in this country. They can’t not answers questions about troop withdrawal just because they don’t like the question or the questioner. Our presence in Iraq has made al Qaeda stronger. This terrorist group is back to it original strength since before the 9-11 attacks. Bin Laden is still on the lose. Iraq had nothing to do with 9-11 despite Cheney’s repeated attempts to tie the two together. This is a reality that both Edelman and Cheney and other neo-cons can’t admit. They can’t admit that their vision of “nation building unilaterally” was so wrong for the country. That their vision and strategy of invading Iraq and “spreading democracy” has made us more unsafe. There are more terrorists in Iraq right now than there were before we invaded it.

July 31st, 2007 at 6:49 pmZ, your venom is showing, and spot on. “Alice” is still underage and can’t get married till “Uncledaddy” is ready to give her up. I figure she’s about three pounds (or a couple zits) away from that magical day.

I can’t stand these stupid games. I’m just sorry we let it go on so long.
F*ck Mr Pee.

Can Cheney even read?

Can’t remember the sex of your “husband,” huh?
Get out of here.
July 31st, 2007 at 6:54 pmWhy don’t you change your name to Chi-mo, Alice?

I’m sorry, Izoo-zoo, but I need an adequate example here, and by my observation you’re laying your own batch of libetroll droppings.
Please correct me if I’m wrong.
July 31st, 2007 at 6:56 pmNachos is cool.

I’m exposing Mr Pee’s games. But you’re right, I let it go on too long.
July 31st, 2007 at 6:58 pmAs much as I despise expressing views that echo Bushco, we have to fight the war we got. I’ll pitch in when I’m not fully occupied by my own little issues. Remember; we’re older, wiser, bigger and much better looking than any *&$#$ing troll. Well, wiser and better looking anyway.

U R?
I don’t think so!

I second that. :)
July 31st, 2007 at 7:00 pmI don’t like the thought of “Mr. Pee” and “exposed” in the same sentence.
July 31st, 2007 at 7:00 pmI don’t think so!

That’s more of an admission that you don’t think, than one of your correctness – Mr. Pees on himself..

Saying it, doesn’t make it so. Anymore than believing you own a unicorn makes it true – delusional boy.
July 31st, 2007 at 7:09 pmEgg,
I don’t know, but I tried to tell you that it wasn’t me at post #133. Let’s just drop it, I’m trying to stay low key today.
July 31st, 2007 at 7:09 pmPhilonous has been very good today.
I think he may have a tummy-ache or something.
Let’s give him a break.
July 31st, 2007 at 7:12 pmDuty calls.
I will leave you with the words of Gomer Pyle.
“You treat me nice, Ill treat you nice. You treat me mean and I’ll ignore ya.”
July 31st, 2007 at 7:15 pmThanks, pete!

July 31st, 2007 at 7:17 pmcheney’s net worth and his resume don’t add up. the disconnect suggests a man on the take.
July 31st, 2007 at 7:28 pm#13: I don’t believe there ever was a plan for redeployment. Didn’t Bush say in his debates from the beginning that he didn’t believe in rebuilding Nations after wars? (Going on memory here.)
July 31st, 2007 at 7:33 pmWell, it was for #13 when I first started typing. Now my comment is directed toward #12.
July 31st, 2007 at 7:35 pmYeah, but did you see Clinton’s cleavage?
whooooooweeeeeeee.
Dat’s my preznut!
Hey! How can I act like a libtard islamofacialist and then link to a GOP site?
July 31st, 2007 at 7:55 pmVotron?
Ex-squeeze me????
HIS SECRETARY OF DEFENSE??????
Since when does Cheney own the government? I know Bush keeps saying “my government” in his speeches, but I was unaware we had now ceded the entire government to Cheney.
July 31st, 2007 at 8:12 pmSeeing this guy a free man makes me want to vomit every meal I’ve eaten throughout my life. I will only be truly happy when I read about this shitmonger’s painful, ass-cancered death. On that day, I will call in well to work and spend the entire day drinking and buying shots for anyone sitting next to me at the bar. On that day, freedom will truly ring.
July 31st, 2007 at 8:19 pmOf course these …….don’t share anything with Congress…why should they?
July 31st, 2007 at 11:38 pmcongress is an annoyance to them, much like, “oh, if only they could swat once and for all those pesky little mosquitos., wouldn’t life be so much better?” If only Cheney and Bush were one giant RAID can…Cheney dreams of every night…I knew Bush and Cheney were going to be bad, but they have exceeded my worst nightmares and do so everyday.
When will Americans stand up and say ENOUGH? until we do, this horror will continue
“I thought it was a good letter”. What more proof do we need that Cheney thinks he is untouchable? He is being deliberately provocative.
I truly hope that this psychotic dictator gets his comeuppance one day, whatever form it may takes. Cheney is an evil monster.
August 1st, 2007 at 10:24 amAgreed., Devil’s Advocate. Cheney is an evil, evil man. No wonder he and Bush and others are often called “thugs” as, indeed, they are…
August 1st, 2007 at 1:25 pmthey are called thugs, for a reason — many parallels to the thugs in
1930s Germany….
Hannah Arendt was right with the banality of evil….
Those criminals in the White House don’t have a plan as far as the Iraq war. Just more of the same lies. The results are destruction of a third world country, with no air force, no navy, no WMD, no ties to Al Queida, close to a million dead men, women and kids. The USA economy with out of control defecits, and our military almost broken; while bush considers going after Iran next. Please help us in 08…support Ron Paul. Bring our troops home now. It was a mistake to go in and its a mistake to stay. Stop this insanity
