Former U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney, a key architect of the post‑September 11 counter‑terrorism policy, died November 3, 2025 at age 84. Cheney, who served as VP from 2001 to 2009 under President George W. Bush, was a pivotal figure in the administration’s decision‑making and worked closely with Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld to shape the administration’s war and defense strategy. His death was attributed to complications from pneumonia coupled with heart and vascular disease, confirmed by his family.

    1. If you want to be loved, then go be a movie star.
    2. I made the decision when I signed on with the president that the only agenda I would have would be his agenda, that I was not going to be like most vice presidents – and that was angling, trying to figure out how I was going to be elected president when his term was over with.
    3. We have to work the dark side, if you will.
    4. He is a coward. A real man wouldn't lie to his supporters. He lost his election, and he lost big. I know it. He knows it, and deep down, I think most Republicans know.
    5. In our nation's 246-year history, there has never been an individual who was a greater threat to our republic than Donald Trump.
    6. We've now created a situation where as we get to the 20th anniversary of 9/11, we are surrendering Afghanistan to the very terrorist organization that housed al Qaeda when they plotted and planned the attacks against us.
    7. With respect to the question of relationships, my general view is that freedom means freedom for everyone.People … ought to be free to enter into any kind of relationship they want to.
    8. The smart young congressman, Dick Cheney, was a hit in Washington: a model of the practical, get-things-done conservative and a leader, right out of the box.

    1. Thank you to Satan for giving me inspiration on how to play this role.

    1. Back then, he was disciplined, conservative and careful; using additional military strength and limiting a war's goals so as to accomplish its objectives. He knew that starting a war meant that you also needed to win it.

    Jake Bernstein
    1. He engineered his own selection as vice president and used what was often a ceremonial post to transform US policy. His legacy continues: the surveillance society, the reputational stain of state-sponsored torture, the failure to deal with climate change and the bloat of private military contractors are just a few areas in which his imprint lingers.
