Dick Cheney's Special Souvenir
Source: Radar

The Weekly Standard is reporting that Vice President Dick Cheney displays in his home a chunk of the house that U.S. forces blew up to kill terrorist Abu Musab al-Zarqawi in 2006. Beyond its obvious morbidity, the memento seems a bit unseemly in view of reports that the White House repeatedly passed on opportunities to blow up Zarqawi's house before he killed thousands of people in Iraq and elsewhere.

According to former CIA agent Michael Scheuer, the agency was closely tracking Zarqawi's activities after the 9/11 attacks and continually made known to the White House that he was in a terrorist training camp in Iraq that could be taken out: "Almost every day we sent a package to the White House that had overhead imagery of the house he was staying in." At the time, Scheuer was told that the White House didn't want to pull the trigger "because they were wining and dining the French in an effort to get them to assist us in the invasion of Iraq," and were concerned about giving them the impression that we were "gunslingers."

As things turned out, we didn't get French support, we did get a damaging gunslinger reputation, and we didn't drop Zarqawi until he had already massacred thousands of people. But once you work past these huge failures, that rock at Cheney's house is clearly something that should be celebrated and admired.

2. The sick preoccupation this neanderthal group has with mementos is beyond belief!
I've heard stories about Bush displaying the pistol taken from Saddam when he was captured. How sadistic can you get? This is just sick! And I'm particularly disgusted because NEITHER of these blobs EVER put their ACTUAL lives on the line to fight for their beliefs!

Sickening!

4. It is a lot like an episode
of Law and Order when they are going after serial rapists or killers. The villain always takes mementos of their victims.

That is what comes to my mind when reading these reports of the Bush Admin and their creepy mementos.

5. So true!
And to think these are the "leaders" of our country. I shutter to think of the example they're setting for future generations!

6. Narcissistic... Taking Credit for Something They Themselves
never work, or kill for. Nor would anyone like Cheney have the guts to put his ass on the line. He's a sick head case with a very cripled ego.

8. Hopefully he will be buried with that rock
SOON. That is after he has his debilitating stroke that renders him completely paralyzed for a few years unable to spend any of the money that he made off the blood of our soldiers. Oooops. I really did go off on that one, eh?? Forgive me Lord. I just can not help myself when it comes to Bush and Cheney.

10. oh, please....
violence has of course greatly decreased since Zarqawi was killed.... one man does not make a big difference here. None of these people would have been killed if the US hadn't invaded - what an asinine argument this is making.

12. Does he have his five draft deferments framed and on the wall too?
That would be a more appropriate momento for coward Cheney.

13. Breathtaking arrogance.
I really cannot verbalize the discust I feel for these monsters online without saying something I could be made to regret.
