Former US Vice President Dick Cheney has died at the age of 84 due to complications from pneumonia and heart disease, his family announced.

Cheney, who served two terms under President George W. Bush, was one of the most influential and controversial figures in modern American politics, playing a central role in shaping US defense and foreign policy during the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.

Over his long career, he served as White House Chief of Staff, Congressman for Wyoming, and Secretary of Defense under George H. W. Bush before becoming vice president in 2001.

A staunch advocate of strong executive power and national security, Cheney was praised by conservatives as a “patriot “and criticised by opponents as a warmonger and for his hardline policies. Tributes from figures including George W. Bush and Condoleezza Rice hailed him as an “honourable public servant” and dedicated family man.

    The old saying in D.C. (District of Criminals – serving Israel instead of America) was;
    “DICK CHENEY BEFORE HE DICKS YOU!”

    And..Cheney’s daughter Liz was fortunately NOT re-(s)elected to office, as she is just as nasty as ‘Daddy’!

    Probably also a Mossad asset…
    Cheney is traditionally a J3wi$h name, very prevalent in south Florida!
