[eppur_se_muova]

The US will complete its mission in Iraq to ensure the country does not become a base for attacks on Americans, Vice-President Dick Cheney has said.

Mr Cheney is on a visit to Iraq and the Middle East coinciding with the fifth anniversary of the US-led invasion of Iraq, launched on 20 March, 2003.

His visit comes as a major conference to promote national reconciliation has been thrown into disarray.

The main Sunni Arab bloc and a major Shia group are boycotting the meeting.

I can longer tell when Cheney is just lying, or when he's lying and delusional.

Does Gepetto sound like he's going to be ready to move out next January? Or is he planning to share an office with Don Rumsfeld in some half-forgotten Pentagon cubbyhole, and keep pulling the strings to his web from there?

I wouldn't bet on McSameAsBu**sh** to hurry DDDDDick out of his lair.

[Teaser]

1. Get that man a Kevlar vest and a rifle

.

[OKthatsIT]

3. LOL...throw a few handgranades, too

[saigon68]

35. He's Bat-shit crazy and loving the $$$$$$$

Amazing the sheep get distracted over the Good Rev Wright and ignore this POS

[katsy]

6. I'll do my part and pitch in.

Advice to darth vader: the army can issue you a vest.

Now get your mangy behind over there.

[np33]

17. Hahaha

Thats the first thing I thought of get that man in a uniform with some weapons.

[mcctatas]

2. Good...

let's give him a machine gun, a supercharged defibrillator (sp?),a humvee (NOT up-armored)and a spine and send his crazy ass over there so OUR troops can come home!

[marmar]

4. Does that mean destroying what little bit of the country you haven't destroyed yet?

The Hague or bust for this humanoid. :evilfrown:

[Zorra]

20. Well, it sounds like he's going to nuke it...he's out of office soon unless

he decides to declare martial law and overthrow the government.

[4dsc]

5. Is he going to enlist??

Or just remain a chickenhawk the rest of his life..

[LakeSamish706]

7. The question that I have is, if the Bush Administration runs out in Jan 09, how does...

Cheney come off talking about finishing anything? Unless, they have no plan on turning power over to anyone else.

[The_Casual_Observer]

10. They will sign agreements that will bind the US for decades

to come. The right wing think tank guys talk about this all the time now. Just because there is a new president doesn't mean that we won't be obliged to honor the agreements with them.

[LakeSamish706]

16. Yeah, never thought about that and it sucks big time.... One more reason...

that these scum suckers should be brought to justice.

[Mike Daniels]

28. Bush has thrown out prior agreements we've signed

What would actually keep the next president from saying "sorry, but this plan is now null and void" and will no longer be honored.

Baring Congress signing off on anything I fail to see how Bush can put his successor into a binding contract with Iraq.

[shain from kane]

8. This ain't no quail hunt, Kimo Sabe.

[The_Casual_Observer]

9. They are getting ready to sign a "long term agreement" with Iraq

for indefinite occupation. And there is nothing we can do about it.

[muntrv]

11. Oh joy!! Halliburton is not done fleecing the US taxpayer!!

[Muttocracy]

24. I'm suprised noone is speculating on what these jerks will do in "retirement"

Aren't they all going to be back to big oil or Halliburton or KBR or Blackwater or one of those? Or terrorism consultants or whatever Rudy G is?

[TheCowsCameHome]

12. *Gasp* Does that mean he's not coming back?

Wahoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

[pleah]

13. They should have packed him in one of their oil drums and sent him straight to the White House.

[indepat]

14. Me thinks the job in Iraq will be done when 88% of Iraq's oil revenues have been secured in near

perpetuity fbo of four big oil companies. :D

[tabasco]

15. Cheney will fight to the last drop of our blood!

5-deferment Chicken Dickie is a war criminal!

[NRaleighLiberal]

18. Dick Cheney = "Old Man Potter" from It's a Wonderful Life. Bitter, miserable, sick in his soul.

People like that should be allowed nowhere near positions of power.

[eppur_se_muova]

33. Ever see the "lost footage from IAWL" skit on SNL?

:D Won't say more, Agent Mike could get bent out of shape.

[Politicalboi]

19. Poor Iraqi's

Give The Dick a rope so he can hang himself don't let him kill anymore Iraqi's. Let him go hunting with Bush

[atjrpsych]

21. I am convinced this man is delusional!

if he sounds like a nut, walks like a nut..he is a nut!

[liberal renegade]

23. the nut brothers

ches and wal....

[SunDrop23]

22. Finish the job of sending good men and women to die in vain? (n/t)

[sutz12]

25. Jesus, does he mean to say they haven't met their profit goals yet?

:shrug:

[hedgetrimmer]

26. All Cheney needs is a good 12 Gauge and a couple of stiff drinks

and he'll go down there and shoot 'em himself! Just ask his lawyer!

[CRK7376]

27. Why doesn't he stay

there more than one night and not go fishing in the Gulf?....Let him do some fishing in the Tigris or Euphrates near Baghdad if he's that interested in fishing...By the way, send him outside the Green Zone with out his Kevlar vest with Chicken Plates, no Up Armored Hummers and weapons that are flat worn out from use....Or he could go where I served, in the wastelands far from any other US facility or support on a very small Firebase in Afghanistan..... Let him play or fish there for awhile. Hey the Afghan governor I worked with brought and cooked fish for us that he caught out of the Helmand River. He did that a couple of times. Those fish were nasty tasting too, but we ate them. It's not often I can say that I was fed by an Afghan Warlord/Governor and watched as he cooked for me and my team....Send Dick there please!

[sofa king]

29. ... by starting another war in Iran!

One of the more popular ways to get away with a really big crime is to obscure it by starting an even bigger problem somewhere else. Where, I wonder, could that somewhere else be?

[NoGOPZone]

30. So he's finally gotten those 'other priorities' out of the way and is enlisting? nt

[DuaneBidoux]

31. These people are simply too delusional. Does he think he's in power after Jan. '09?

[KansDem]

32. Give it a rest already!!!

We've lost!!! You and your fucking sockpuppet of a "president" fucked up BIG TIME!!!

Besides, Dick, you and your ilk made pretty good these past 7 years. Just take the money and RUN!!! AND DON'T COME BACK!!!

[superconnected]

34. I guess he thought haliburton, bechtel, and many carlyle subsidarys were scared

they were going to have jobs(profits) pulled.

[eib1]

36. I didn't know Bigus Dickus

was running for president.
