Cheney did some evil shit to get rich, but he also believed it was about making America strong in the long run. Because of him (and his puppet Dubya), we have long-term military base presence and mineral/oil dibbs in 2 new countries. That keeps the dollar afloat and keeps oil in our piggy bank for 50 years from now.
That being said, I don't wish heart failure on anyone. Many believed this was the case when the VP was nodding off in meetings, and the wheelchair at the unauguration ("back injury").
And while he'd move to the top of the transplant list, his vessels and lungs are probably a wreck too. He likely wouldn't survive an operation. He had his first heart attack at 37, and smoked afterwards. He did some rotten things, and there are a lot of family of vets who wish him harm, but I can't do that.
At a cost of over 5 TRILLION do you think it was worth it?
At a cost of over 1.5 million innocent Iraqis do you think it was worth it?
At a cost of unknown Afghans murdered do you think it was worth it?
At a cost of DU poisoned Afghans, Iraqi and soldiers do you think it was worth it?
With both the Gulf of Mexico and Alaska having oil quantities in the BILLIONS of barrels would it have not been better to battle in your own back yard for oil and refrain from the exorbitant lies told to steal the resources of other nations?
At the cost of losing allies around the world was it worth it?
At a cost of over one trillion per year to have US bases in many countries is it worth it?
To now have angered many races, religions, nations around the world making the US a prime target for terrorist (for real this time) is/was it worth it?
There was a lot that should have been considered before the US went forward with the lies, attack, occupation and stealing of resources of other nations, which was not done for oil need, but to try and control the economies of other nations. This action exposed a whole hell of a lot about the history, character and honesty of america...all of which it is lacking and surely now the so called history books of america can be disregarded... better yet thrown out. Truth is the nation has been one that has operated on pure greed and excess and control at the expense of life, rights and certainly character. Now it sits in financial ruins, jobless, hated, vilified, desperate, clinging to the last threads of hope which are fast unraveling. Many now know the truth of what america was and is about and these attacks on innocent barely armed nations revealed all.
Cheney was just one of many who fulfilled the desires of the wealthy and accomplished their want of "I WANT IT ALL"... at what cost? After having done the dirty deeds for others what does he have to show for it? a failed heart?, relegated to a wheelchair? when death comes to claim him death will find that he is already spiritually dead. I guess the best part of all of this is now that those who want now have it all.... there is no need for him and he will be tossed to the trash heap like the rest. Maybe he should hope the next attack is fatal.
