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 The republican party of 20 years ago is dead and has been replaced by the political wing of neoconservatism and extremist christian religion.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?

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?

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....
