Cheney Uses Mideast As Campaign Issue

[Rose Siding]

TAMPA, Fla. Jul 21, 2006 (AP)— Vice President Dick Cheney on Friday pointed to the fighting between Israel and Hezbollah as fresh evidence of the ongoing battle against terrorism that underscores the need to keep President Bush's Republican allies in control of Congress.

"This conflict is a long way from over," Cheney said at a fundraising appearance for a GOP congressional candidate. "It's going to be a battle that will last for a very long time. It is absolutely essential that we stay the course.".......

Cheney said that as Republicans make their case to voters in the midterm elections, "it's vital that we keep issues of national security at the top of the agenda." He faulted Democrats in Congress who have pushed for a timetable for withdrawing Americans from Iraq, saying that would send the wrong message to terrorists.
...
Later in the day, at a rally for 8,000 troops at Fort Stewart, Ga., Cheney promised that the United States will keep fighting in Iraq until it can declare victory.
...
Cheney also administered the re-enlistment oath to Cpl. Jerrod Fields, a 24-year-old Army gunner from Chicago who was determined to remain in the ranks after losing his left leg last year to a bomb blast in Iraq.

2. so they finally let darth cheney

out of his sterile bunker 2 snarl & spread fear among the masses. Guess chuckle nuts doesn't have the 'fear factor' anymore. He has become the crying wolf boy.

Doesn't it just frost you that this, the loudest & largest of ALL the chickenhawks, just can't wait to send more cannon fodder into yet another war zone?

Have I mentioned lately how much I hate the *blivet crime family?

4. The Quickest Way To End This Conflict

Is throw all the GOP out of office, and their enablers, and put the Bush Crime family in prison for life.

5. Go Cheney yerself you effin terrist. STAY THE COURSE?

Did the Big Dick, Head Terrist at the GOP really say "STAY THE COURSE"? Isn't that what ol' whahisname said as he rode the missile down? Stay the course:

Puddinhead Preznit
Big Dick
Zen Master RRRumsfeld
Newt Gingrich
Richard Perle
Dov Zacheim
Doug Feith
Paul Wolfowitz
Condi the Fixer
Abramoff
Doolitle and Delay . . .

I know I've left out a lot of them, but this gang of thieves and cons have destroyed our country, and all Dick can say is STAY THE COURSE? We're screwed Dick. You've bankrupted us to fatten your privatized military industrial complex, and you destroyed our Constitution, our elections, our government of representation for the people of this country - as opposed to whichever country you're selling us out to at the moment, and our free press.

Hell. Go to your corner of hell, Dick, and stay.

7. "This conflict is a long war from over"

"This conflict is a long way from over," Cheney said at a fundraising appearance for a GOP congressional candidate. "It's going to be a battle that will last for a very long time. It is absolutely essential that we stay the course."

Well no freakin' duh, ya evil bastard. We'd be a whole lot closer to actual success if you morons hadn't diverted focus from Afghanistan to Iraq barely 2 months after 9/11. (Nov 21, 2001)

But, then again, this whole thing could likely have been avoided had you negligent pr!cks made any attempt whatsoever at going after al Qaeda -- as you had been emphatically warned to do by the outgoing Clinton Admin. (Not to mention that you were handed a plan for going after al Qaeda, the very plan you dusted off after you blundered the country into giving "9/11" special meaning.)

8. Cheney is such a disgusting evil beast

9. This is SO much a duplicate to the run-up to the invasion of Iraq!

One thing that seems common among all neocon right-wing extremists throughout history, they have only one PR plan to sell their wars, they simply change the names of the countries and the "terra-ists" but follow the same sales pitch using the same salespersons in the same time-frame. First is bush and condi, then comes cheney, up next; Perle et al. interspersed with at least one patriotic Lebanese (actually a neocon of Lebanese extraction ala Chalabi/Iraq) begging for their country to be invaded. It is a mirror image of the run-up to war, even the phony pretenses at the UN.
