Comments on: Cheney: U.S. Won't Back Down In Iraq

Vice President Tells Troops In Japan That U.S. Will Complete The Mission

[mbcsmith]

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.

VP Cheney is increasingly out of touch with American voters and with his own party. The Republican party is beginning to split, leaving the neoconservatives on the extreme right, with increasing numbers of Republican centrists embracing traditional GOP values.

On Feb 20, Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald suggested in his closing remarks that VP Cheney was complicit in the outing of CIA agent Valerie Plame. If VP Cheney is indicted, the split in the GOP will become even more apparent.

Oh, isn't that nice. Mr. Cheney says we aren't backing down.

Backing down from what again? Loosing? Are we staying the course for you personally, Mr. Cheney? So you get the oil, the profits, the ego trip, all from behind the president who shields you from the flying ***?

What have you done these past 6/7 years for the American people, Mr. Cheney? You know, us here in your own country? Health care, wage increases, affordable insurance, that sort of thing? Or is all your attention on your buddies, the ones that look and think and live like you? Big Business and Big Oil and The Wealthy, that crowd you run with?

While you are over there ruining Iraq, what have you done for the American people, Mr. Cheney?

They were run out of the party by people like Rove and DeLay. There are no Goldwater;'s or Ford's left to hold the extreme right wing (esp the religious right) back any longer. The republican party of 20 years ago is dead and has been replaced by the political wing of neoconservatism and extremist christian religion. It's a shame as once there were good republicans that I could have different opinions with, but still respect. If anyone should be angry it's the regular day in and day out republicans who have had their party stolen away from them

[bluestardad]

Our fearless leader cannot even identify who the enemy is in Iraq. He lumps them all under the name of terrorist. In fact they are Sunnis killing Marines in Anbar and Shiites in Baghdad by 3 to 1 of any other responsible group. Yet since his friends the Saudi Arabian government is supporting them. The Israeli Governemnt wants Iran neutralized so Bush goes after them with vigor. Who is defending American interest and advocating pulling our troops out of this mess?

[getcentered]

Please, someone tell where the CENTRIST Republicans are?

Many Americans today have been enlightened by the two wars we find ourselves involved. One war, the "war on terrorism", finds its main battleground in Afghanistan, and it is a war that costs lives and money but the majority of Americans support. Liberals, Democrats, Republicans, Conservatives, most don't have a problem with us kicking down the doors of members of the Taliban.

When talking about the war in Iraq the parties have much difference. Democrats say that the public and congress was mislead to justify the war in Iraq and that the Bush Administration no longer deserves autonomy in situations where US service men and women's lives are on the line. Based on the results of the last Congressional elections, most Americans see a problem with GOP/Republicans; at least in the way they make decisions about the use of our military.

So why is it that in the GOP/Republican party there are no dissenters, no independent thinkers, no moderates? Where are the real conservatives who would laugh at how conservatively the current Republican party has been spending taxes, and creating big government? Has the Republican Party lost its identity? Can the ideology of the GOP be so easily summed up in Karl Rove talking points like %u201Csupport this and support that%u201D, and angry rhetoric like %u201Cliberals are traitors%u201D?

Hello centrist Republicans! Anybody out there?

i khow its a big job but somebody has to get it done soon. i will have it done within 90 days from start to finish

MITYWHITY

I love how you right wingers reach back in history to validate your failed policies of today. You are correct what happened in the 1800's had nothing in common with today. But if a history lesson is what you are looking for then lets look further into history during the Christian Crusades. Talk about a group of people that killed for the sheer pleasure of it and believed thier God was pleased.

While ancient history provides a footing for the current hatereds between the Islamics and the Christians it is not the fuel that feeds the current war engine. The fuel is provided by the power hungary right wing leadership, by close minded Christian Evangelicals, and by politically ignorant and narrow minded fools as yourself.

I am pleased each day I wake up and see that more and more Americans are walking away and rejecting the hate filled rhetoric you and your kind spew on a daily basis. That more and more Americans see the right wing for what it is. But unlike you and your kind we will honor and defend your Constitutional right to believe in what you want....

[forthepeaple]

we need to start builing soon so again show me the money

[forthepeaple]

one mil gets the job started and one mil when the job is done. thats all. so show me the money lets see

[observantx]

Richard,Richard,Richard.

(sigh)

There are one of two things going on here.

You are either totally deluded and clueless as your neocon acolytes and you are sending us messages from Planet Cheney or you are smiling bravely while crapping your pants.

I'm going for the pants scenario. Libby's trial has ripped the top off the can of worms you sold us about the reasons to get into Iraq. Now you are jumping at your own shadow. You can feel the hot breath of Fritzgerald on your neck and you realize impeachment and jail may not be that distant.

I fervently hope so.

I hope you share a cell with big bad Bubba and his cousin Snake. I hope they both do you at the same time and switch places in the middle.

[olebd]

Would somebody please tighten the bolts in Cheney's neck already?..He's talking gibberish.

[skyk-2009]

Anyone with a BRAIN should be able to see that the AMERICAN PEOPLE are not going to allow these two MORONS lead us for the Next Two years. If the Republican's want a PARTY after Bush they'd damned well better do something. We have VERY little time and the hatred for these people grows World Wide with every passing minute.

[azman80]

This pile of stir fried sh*t shouldnt even talk to troops. After skipping out of war with 5 draft defferements because he "had other priorites than war", he needs to be impeached and out of office before his term ends. If anything, since his company got a big FAT contract from the government from the war, and he keeps complaining about troops not having enough armor equipment, wouldnt it be nice if Halliburton DONTATED a percentage of their billions for troop armor. Hey, that would be a tax write off.

[skyk-2009]

Hey Mr. Vice President can you tell us WHAT gives YOU the right to involve yourself in a Civil War? The ENEMY you incompetent Little Nazi is in Afganistan. Look at the face of this man folks, look carefully at the Cold look on a Man's face who doesn't give a *** how many kids end up at Walter Reed Hospital. It's over Cheney and the MORE angry you make We the People the smaller that "Breathing Room is". When you living kids like those and the one's who come back in box's, when all you are leaving them is a WORLD FULL OF HATE... My God People our ONLY ALLY in this mess, the British CITIZENS by over 80% do NOT support us... I mean what do they need, someone to fall a building on them?

[forthepeaple]

I have ask BUSH/CHENEY TO A OPEN/TOWN MEETING,THEY SAID ONLY IF WE CAN PICK WHO COMES TO ASK QUESTIONS. SO WHATS THAT TELL YOU. THEY BOTH NEED TO BE S--T. AND LETS PUT A END TO IT RIGHT NOW, BEFORE ITS TO LATE, IRAN,CHINA,OR THE NORTH VIETUM NUT WILL I PROMISS YOU , BLOW UP US SOMEWHERE. AND IT WILL BE SOON.

[rharrin1]

Out of all the cheney bs the biggest cover up was about the (accidental shooting) Cheney said he had A beer with lunch the guy that got shot says no alcohol was involved the police only get to the gate of the ranch and say they would come back at 9am next morning by then all trace of booze would be gone

If it was anybody else the police would have crashed the gate. WHAT A JOKE TEXAS LAW JUST GOOD OLD BOYS

[randalds]

This as*shole, this prick, this gutless coward had "other priorities" during Vietnam and got 5 deferments, but now he has no problem sending other peoples children off to die in Iraq just to make himself and his friends richer. This war never had anything to do with terrorism, spreading freedom or 9-11. It is about money and only money. It's a way to make big oil and defense contractors rich off from taxpayers money and Cheney is the chief bloodsucker of them all! This is NOT a war! It's ****king war crime! If there was a god then I know Cheney and Bush would roast in hell forever and even that would be too good for these pieces of sh*it!

*** you mr cheney, *** you very much.
