CBS: 'Well, I look at it and see it is actually an affirmation that there are parts of Iraq where things are going pretty well,"
Cheney said in an interview with ABC.'

-Well, WaxfaceCheney, Iraq was doing better than many other middle eastern societies before U decide to wage this illegale lies-based war.

Who cares what Richard (Head) Cheney thinks?

Get the hell out of Iraq!

How are things going in Iraq?

Here is a recent description of the situation in Iraq, from a courageous Iraqi woman, who posts under the name of "Riverbend":

"And yet, as the situation continues to deteriorate both for Iraqis inside and outside of Iraq, and for Americans inside Iraq, Americans in America are still debating on the state of the war and occupation- are they winning or losing? Is it better or worse."

"Let me clear it up for any moron with lingering doubts: It%u2019s worse. It%u2019s over. You lost. You lost the day your tanks rolled into Baghdad to the cheers of your imported, American-trained monkeys. You lost every single family whose home your soldiers violated. You lost every sane, red-blooded Iraqi when the Abu Ghraib pictures came out and verified your atrocities behind prison walls as well as the ones we see in our streets. You lost when you brought murderers, looters, gangsters and militia heads to power and hailed them as Iraq%u2019s first democratic government. You lost when a gruesome execution was dubbed your biggest accomplishment. You lost the respect and reputation you once had. You lost more than 3000 troops. That is what you lost America. I hope the oil, at least, made it worthwhile."

Well you are probably right. Most military believe that their duty is to follow the Commander in Chief, so many may politely listen, softly applaud, simply out of their sense of duty.

Of course, their real obligation is to the constitution. Lt. Watada refused to go back to Iraq as it IS an illegal war, based on lies (Lt. Watada offered instead to serve in Afghanistan, but military preferred to court martial him).

I hope more military say NO to Cheney/Bush Iraq War.

Sick to see these loyal dedicated soldiers applauding the NeoCons Darth Vader, who so willingly, recklessly and criminally led 3,000 of their fellow troops into their graves.

They love their country so much they are blind to his lying sneer and the sick evil glint in his eyes when he fabricates his fake WMD and fake Al Quaeda link stories.

JAIL CHENEY for his WAR CRIMES

This SOB, chickhawk draftdodger has the "Stomach for War" (as he likes to pontificate), becuase he doesn't fight in Wars. Cheney PROFITS from War. His superwealthy constituents PROFIT from War. His Oil Business Buddies PROFIT from War.

Sure Cheney will go on and on waving the flag in fake patriotic fervor, trying to keep the War going. He will scare people with fake terror alerts, fake WMDs, fake Al Quaeda links... All to sustain his War. All to keep permanent US bases and access to the OIL

WAKE UP AMERICA - These NeoCONs are Conning you out of $600 Billion to finance their dreams of regional dominance. They are sacrificing thousands of middleclass kids in their empire Wars.

FIGURE IT OUT AMERICA

Then JAIL these SOBs

So, Britain is finally realizing the Iraq war is a lost cause. Cheney announced today that the British troops leaving means things are improving in Iraq. Such statements prove two theories I have regarding Cheney. First, whenever Cheney opens his mouth, something stupid will come out. Second, a lie will shortly follow from Cheney. Martin Luther King I'm certain looks down from heaven and rolls his eyes. Cheney must want everyone to think he is like Dr. King. Why else would he steal his line, " I have a dream."

"Cheney said he had spoken with a friend who traveled recently from Baghdad to Basra and "found the situation dramatically improved from a year or so ago." "

C'mon, this idiot has an entire intelligence community who can tell him the temperature of a camel's behind at three in the morning, why is he asking a traveling 'friend' how things are going in Iraq? Oh - wait, Cheney outed a CIA agent, and cannot trust them anymore...

Once again, the COWARDS in the WHITE HOUSE speak before a select crowd of military welfare cases aboard an overfunded military ship of fools. Note that these COWARDS in the WHITE HOUSE never speak before people that work for a living, such as the vast majority of US that live in the northern, western, and midwestern states?

Cheney is suffering dimentia obviously as he has forgotten his own advice:

In 1992, the United States Secretary of Defense during the war, *** Cheney, made the same point:

"I would guess if we had gone in there, I would still have forces in Baghdad today. We'd be running the country. We would not have been able to get everybody out and bring everybody home.

And the final point that I think needs to be made is this question of casualties. I don't think you could have done all of that without significant additional U.S. casualties, and while everybody was tremendously impressed with the low cost of the (1991) conflict, for the 146 Americans who were killed in action and for their families, it wasn't a cheap war.

And the question in my mind is, how many additional American casualties is Saddam (Hussein) worth? And the answer is, not that damned many. So, I think we got it right, both when we decided to expel him from Kuwait, but also when the President made the decision that we'd achieved our objectives and we were not going to go get bogged down in the problems of trying to take over and govern Iraq."

Cheney doesn't get out of the bunker much, does he?
America has moved on, will shut down the Iraq oil grab, and finally get to the bottom of that 9/11 atrocity....

What do you bet VP ***'s name comes up in that mess too?

Polls show that the majority of Americans want us out of Iraq. This is a no win situation and our young men and women in the Military are loosing their livesfor people who obviously do not want democracy or freedom.This is a civil war and our Soldiers do not belong in the middle of it. Cheney has got to be the most vile and evil man on earth and bush is a very close second.

despise Bush, but there aren't enough words to express how much I hate Cheney. He is the only person on this earth that I truly hate, & I know hate is wrong. I hate him for the cold, calculated way he manipulates everything, for all the deaths he is responsible for, for what he has done to America & for his never ending lies & for his unquenchable greed. I'm sure hell has a special place waiting for Richard Cheney, but I hope he lives long enough to be punished in this world for what he has done.

Your post so closely reflects how I feel I felt in necessary to copy it again. This is a man who scares the daylights out of me and YES I to deeply and honestly HATE him. If it were possible I'd love to see him strapped down and I be allowed to trip the switch.

Latest poll results show 57% of Americans want U.S. to pursue a successful resolution in Iraq and 17% want an immediate withdrawl. I guess the LIBS will have to flip again after the flip-flop.
Posted by mbcsmith at 02:47 PM : Feb 21, 2007

How many American's think that is possible? How many believe Sir Lies-A-Lot can be successful in Iraq? ROFLMAO You fascist are good at this... problem is not good enough. Couse this is all "liberal's" fault? ROFLMAO Exactly HOW is this the fault of "Liberal's". Exactly how are they to "flip flop" when they have consistently been RIGHT about Sir Lies-A-Lot and the Fascist Administration? Then there is the REAL poll of the last ELECTION...wouldn't care to comment on THAT poll would you? ROFLMAO

In the 60's the democratic party came to the conclusion that racists were eating our party up from the inside out. We changed, through no small sacrifice as we lost the entire old South, but it was still the right thing to do. Yes we still have some extremist liberals in the party (like yours truly sometimes), but all in all our party is better off. The republicans need to slice the cancer of neoconservatives like Cheney and his ilk and the extreme religious right wing bigots (Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell, etc) out of their party. It will hurt, but your party will be better off for America in the long run.
Posted by RandalDS at 03:15 PM : Feb 21, 2007

You are so very right and EVERYONE involved when the Civil Rights Act was signed KNEW the Democrat Party was giving up, what had once been almost absolute power. They did the right thing by letting them go and now the Republican's are faced with the SAME situation. Keeping these bigots and distructive people in your party will only do ONE thing, drive decent and honest Republican's OUT. It's already happening in most of the nation. The Democrats and Republican's have always had their differences but what these Southern Fascist present to them isn't differences. It's your With me or Aganist Me politics. When you look back through our history at all that has been done BECAUSE neither side believed that, the dicision is an obvious one.

Folks look in the eyes of Cheney... LISTEN to what he says. This man is no with us on this planet. He's a hard line Nazi who will kill every one of our son's rather than admit he made a mistake. This slime dog has never, in his small little mind, ever made a mistake. That's why he keeps up with the responses that are so far out and rediculous that no one on earth takes him serious. People outside this nation find him to be someone to laugh at but I'm telling you this greasy Southern Fascist is capable of death and distruction beyond anyone's belief. Look in his eyes folks... THIS is the REAL President and he IS NOT SANE!!

They are the ones who spread the spin of the GOP out across America, dividing its people, pumping up one group of people to feel superior over another group of people based on opinion. It is Limbaugh's opinion that Republicans are somehow better than Democrats. Why, because HE is one?

What is the comparable list of Democrats given such volumes of airtime?
Posted by AaaBee at 04:52 PM : Feb 21, 2007

LOL Yep and if you notice Limpballs NEVER brings up the HISTORY of Conservatives OR solutions THEY have had to the problems faced by the nation. Why? Because if he did people wouldn't listen to his attacks on those who actually DID do something.
