Bush, Cheney Meet For First Time Since Leaving White House (VIDEO)

Former President George W. Bush met former Vice President Dick Cheney Thursday for the first time since serving in the White House in 2009.

The meeting, which took place at Cheney's McLean, Va. home, came just three days after Cheney was hospitalized for his fifth heart attack. According to ABC News, Cheney invited Bush over for coffee.

Cameras were there to catch the very casual exchange at the beginning of their meeting:

"Mr. President, welcome," began Cheney.

"Lookin' good," replied Bush.

"Holding up," said Cheney.

"Lookin' good," said Bush again.

"Could be worse," said Cheney.

Politico reports that the two were scheduled to appear Friday at a "Bush-Cheney Alumni Reunion" in Washington, D.C. for their first public meeting since leaving office. Because of his health issues, Cheney will no longer attend.

While the former vice president has been a near constant figure on Sunday morning talk show circuit, chosing to publicly criticize of the Obama administration, Bush has maintained a much lower profile.

Michael Haas’ book, George W. Bush, War Criminal, argues that under the Bush administration, the US lost its traditional respect for the rule of law and makes the case for prosecuting Bush for 269 war crimes. Dick Cheney would share a great deal of culpability.

Paul J. Bales reviewed the book: http://www.redress.cc/americas/pjballes20090908

If you do not like torture you can take action.

Please read the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (ICC) at the Hague:

http://www.icc-cpi.int/NR/rdonlyres/EA9AEFF7-5752-4F84-BE94-0A655EB30E16/0/Rome_Statute_English.pdf

Article 7 defines crimes against humanity, Article 8 describes war crimes. Article 15 describes the process of prosecution.

You can contact the Prosecutor with evidence:

links to recent television performances by Dick Cheney would be an example of great evidence for the ICC.

The question I would ask is, during the time that former Vice President Cheney was thrashing and dissing the President and his administration he did not suffer a heart attack
However after the weekend appearances of two former Generals that served under his administration appeared on the Sunday news programs, and both critized what he had said in the past. deriding President Obama, He suffers a heart attack? the stress and bitterness that he harbors will do more harm to him and bring him to ruin than all the criticism that can be heaped on him.

Did Smithers and Mr Burns re-unite to start planning more dastardly deeds or are they just talking over the good old days when they destroyed America?

Yes, and killing hundreds of thousands of innocent men, women and children is APPROPRIATE but making a comment on a public website in a country where we respect freedom of speech (at least some of us) is NOT........

These two clowns should be sentenced to life in prison (not death - that would be the easy way out) for their war crimes and lying to the American people throughout their 8 years in office. I don't expect that the truth will ever escape their lips or that humility and repentance will ever reach their souls.

Here's a little word game for Bush so he can improve his language skills and vocabulary:

How many words can you make out of the letters in "Lookin' good?" (Any letters, any number, in any combination.)
After you do it the first time, can you do it again?

I bet he'd miss the words on the second try.
