Cheney says terrorists still threaten U.S.
SPRINGFIELD, Mo. – Vice President Dick Cheney said Monday the United States remains under threat of terrorist attack and warned against complacency about enemies who he said were weakened but still lethal.
Cheney, speaking at a fundraiser for Republican Sen. Jim Talent, defended progress in Iraq and the war on terror and painted Democrats as soft on national security.
"It seems more than obvious to say that our nation is still at risk of attack," Cheney told an enthusiastic crowd of more than 100 Republican supporters who paid between $250 and $3,500 a head for the buffet reception at a Springfield hotel.
"Yet as we get farther away from Sept. 11, some in Washington are yielding to the temptation to downplay the threat, to back away from the business at hand. That mind-set is dangerous," Cheney said.

I feel safe, yet terrified at the same time.
Cheney's weaving his magic on me.
oh yeah people in missouri have a real lot to worry about terrorism
I mean honestly..please give me a break. Are they all going to get out their plastic and duct tape too? God. You know the states that were most effected by 9/11 didnt vote for bush in the 2004 election, we learned first hand how incompetent bush /cheney are.
But seriously how could there not be a threat with idiots like bush and cheney running things? Ports open, Borders open, Nuclear facilities left unprotected, A Department of Homeland Security thats a sad joke....imagine an epidemic with these nitwits at the helm? And yet they cry about 9/11, exploit it every chance they get, but as far as securing the country...the have done nothing in 5 years. Maybe I should be afraid, its just that I'm so damn pissed.
I feel relatively safe...
from to any possible attack from Islamic fundamentalist terriss, but the Christian fundamentalist terrorists in our government scare the shit out of me. They have to scare everybody, so there's the PATRIOT Act II for those of us who don't believe in their War On Terra. That, along with the revived specter of nukular war, scares me plenty.

for the buffet reception....."
OMG ... how could anyone even eat their food after the dark lord Darth Chrashcart delivered such news? I'm surprised that people weren't killed because, I imagine, a stampede for the door happened so they could get home to their precious Republican Family values and duct tape up their favorite room. But, I suppose if you spend between $250 and $3500 a head to listen to these screwballs, there no such thing as a dogie bag.
