BAKERSFIELD, Calif. — Former Vice President Dick Cheney addressed his health and offered another defense of Bush administration of "necessary" but "controversial" anti-terrorism policies Saturday in his first long speech since he suffered what was described as "increasing congestive heart failure" last summer.


Cheney appeared frail but spoke clearly at the Bakersfield Business Conference, where he was "interviewed" by his wife, Lynne.


"She's been my nurse, my negotiator with the medical community, and in return for all of that great help she's given me, today I've agreed to let her interview me," Cheney told a sold-out crowd of about 10,000.

Full-day tickets for the conference were $495 each.



Cheney, who had his fifth heart attack in February, underwent a procedure to implant an LVAD (left ventricular assist device) in his heart in July.
The procedure usually is used as a bridge therapy to a transplant.
In some patients who are not good candidates for a transplant, the device can be a stop-gap "permanent" solution.

Cheney explained why he believes the Bush administration's national security, surveillance and "enhanced interrogation" policies prevented more terrorist attacks after Sept. 11, 2001.

"I'll always remember lifting off in the helicopter (on 9/11) and looking down on the Pentagon, seeing the devastation that had been wrought — that plus the World Trade Center in New York — the devastation that had been wrought by 19 men armed with box cutters and airline tickets.

From that moment on, we were in a situation where we could no longer treat terrorist attacks as a simple law enforcement problem.

They were an act of war."

appears as though Cheney is taking clues from Sarah Palin.

Granted this was in 1994, but my my how he back tracks later. Amazing how the possibility of no bid contracts to your company can change your point of view. Can we just get rid of all the current politicians and start over?

God has really been trying to kill that guy. I'm waiting for him to say screw it, and see a big fist come out of the sky to pound him flat.
