The loudest cheerleader for invading Iraq is on the stump once again, defending the bloody, bogged-down occupation and lambasting its critics.

Getting a war lecture from Dick Cheney is like getting dating advice from Michael Jackson.

The last time the United States went to battle, Cheney stayed far out of harm's way. His only wounds from Vietnam were the paper cuts he got from opening his five -- count 'em, five -- draft deferment notices.

''I had other priorities in the '60s other than military service,'' he explained to a reporter in 1989.

1. 'Led Cheerleaders' ?

... he was more like the chief strategist and training camp official.

This was more Dick's war than George's, I'm starting to think.

2. Agree. Bush is the bought 'n sold cheerleader. It's Cheney's war.

3. You know, I think you're onto something.

That dork ended up doing a larger scale version of the only job he never fucked up, cheerleading!

4. You're right !

Really, the only things he's done as pretzeldunce are go to fundraisers, take vacations, and give assinine speeches about the war on terra to prop up the neo-con BS illusions.

He's a friggin' professional cheerleader !! That IS his only purpose!!

5. And in controlled situations, he's done well. Fundraising is their "base"

Although Busboy may well have come to believe the whole crusade spiel (which I think he does)..he's a dangerous tool...
