At Washington, D.C.'s Union Station yesterday evening, former Vice President Dick Cheney received the Keeper of the Flame award, given by the Center for Security Policy for "those individuals who have enhanced American security through their commitment to a strong military, the propagation of democracy and respect for individual rights throughout the world."
Also receiving an honor -- the Service Before Self award -- was Cheney's former chief of staff, I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby, a convicted felon whose sentence was commuted by President Bush. Libby received a standing ovation. Former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and undersecretary Doug Feith were also in attendance.
As is his wont, Cheney took the time to criticize President Obama. Speaking of strategy in Afghanistan, former Vice President Cheney said, “President Obama now seems afraid to make a decision, and unable to provide his commander on the ground with the troops he needs to complete his mission.”

This shows how low the US has been taken when we see a VP War Criminal Dick Cheney recieve an Award for TREASON. Then the nerve to give a Convicted Felon who committed TREASON name Scooter Libby for getting an award for doing his best to destroy the United States of America. It made me sick when I heard people cheer for these people. Cheering for the enemy from within will only complete Rush Limbaugh's mission.
Well, they did give him the award at the subway station.
