Richard Cheney

In accordance with Section 20 of Title 3 of the United States Code, I, Richard B. Cheney, hereby resign the office of vice president of the United States.

I think the bottom line is, was I up to the task of being vice president? And there is no question, I think, based upon the fact that I did it for eight years that they were right.

I'm obviously not a fan of the incumbent president. I don't know what he did to the program. The program, obviously, from what's now been released is still in operation. I think it's good that it's in operation. I think it has, in fact…

I think he's a traitor. I think he has committed crimes, in fact, by violating agreements given the position he had. Well, I'm deeply suspicious, obviously, because he went to China. That's not a place where you ordinarily want to go if…

the documents released Monday clearly demonstrate that the individuals subjected to enhanced interrogation techniques provided the bulk of intelligence we gained about al Qaeda.

The intelligence officers who questioned the terrorists can be proud of their work, proud of the results, because they prevented the violent death of thousands, perhaps hundreds of thousands, of people.

But the ultimate threat is the possibility of their succeeding and getting, say, a biological agent or a nuclear weapon, smuggling it into the United States, into one of our own cities, and raising the specter of -- of being able to kill…

One of the things that I find a little bit disturbing about this recent disclosure is, they put out the legal memos, the memos that the CIA got from the Office of -- of Legal Counsel, but they didn't put out the memos that showed the…

When we get people who are more concerned about the let me think the -- let me think carefully how I describe this -- more concerned with reading the rights to an al Qaeda terrorist than they are with protecting the United States against…

What's most troubling about Senator Reid's comments yesterday is his defeatism. Indeed, last week he said the war is already lost. And the timetable legislation that he is now pursuing would guarantee defeat.

This is al Qaeda operating in Iraq. And, as I say, they were present before we invaded Iraq.

It's time the self-appointed strategists on Capitol Hill understood a very simple concept: You cannot win a war if you tell the enemy when you're going to quit.

I believe the record speaks for itself. Don Rumsfeld is the finest secretary of defense this nation has ever had.

If the Democrats take control, American families could face an immense tax increase, and the economy would sustain a major hit.

We have no intention of ignoring or appeasing history's latest gang of fanatics trying to murder their way to power.

The Dean Democrats have defeated Joe Lieberman. Their choice instead is a candidate whose explicit goal is to give up the fight against the terrorists in Iraq. For the sake of our security, this nation must reject any strategy of…

It's important to remember how significant 9/11 was. And we are now engaged in a constant effort, obviously, to protect the nation against further attack. That means we need good intelligence.

The level of activity that we see today, from a military standpoint, I think, will clearly decline. I think they're in the -- in the last throes, if you will, of the insurgency.

Simply stated, there is no doubt that Saddam Hussein now has weapons of mass destruction.

If they're competent to fight this war, then I ought to be singing on 'American Idol.'

The only way to lose this fight is to quit, and that is not an option.

The American people will have a clear choice in the election of 2004, at least as clear as any since the election of 1984.

Thugs and assassins in Iraq are desperately trying to shake our will. Just this morning, they conducted a murderous attack on a hotel in Baghdad. Their goal is to prevent the rise of democracy. But they will fail.
