Cheney says no troops withdrawal from Iraq
\
U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney said on Friday that the U.S. forces would not "retreat" from Iraq.

Addressing a powerful conservative lawyers' association, Cheney said U.S. military withdrawal from Iraq would encourage terrorist violence.

"Some in our country may believe in good faith that retreating from Iraq would make America safer. Recent experience teaches the opposite lesson," he said.

"To get out before the job is done would convince the terrorists, once again, that free nations will change our policies, forsake our friends and abandon our interests whenever we are confronted with violence and blackmail."

1. Easy for him to say. Too easy. Safe in his undisclosed location sitting on his fat a**.

[gratuitous]

2. Oh, is he now the commander-in-chief?

When do they give Chimpy the Fisher-Price model of the nuclear code "football," seeing as how he's apparently no longer The Decider?

[bleedinglib]

3. Unelected a**hole

Sounds like he's callin' the shots in Iraq?

Maybe he should ask boy george what he thinks?

BLIB:spank: :nuke:

[HaggardsMethDealer]

4. Nice strawman there, Cheney.

Nice to know that we have a Kissinger clone running the show. I guess these assholes weren't content with losing Vietnam...they had to come back and lose another one.

[Demeter]

5. Who Died and Made Cheney President?

Is there something you forgot to tell us, Dick?

[northofdenali]

6. Dickie-doo, your ass is on the way OUT -

in the meantime,

[kysrsoze]

28. Dickie-doo is a perfect term to describe that gut

It's probably filled with flesh from dead people.

[PSPS]

7. "before the job is done" -- Exactly what is "the job?"

That's the question nobody can, or will answer. At first "the job" was deposing Hussein and ridding the world of the threat of his nuclear bombs. We did #1, and #2 was a lie. "Mission accomplished." We're nothing more than a foreign occupying force, brutalizing the citizens who don't want us there, and protecting the process of western-style privatization of Iraq's natural resources so their benefit goes into the pockets of bush and cheney.

So what is "the job" now? Pummel the civilian population until they accept our permanent occupation? Prop up the puppet "government?" Keep killing them until they stop killing us?

Exactly what is "the job," mister cheney?

25. WHAT NOBLE CAUSE?! (eom)

[mzmolly]

27. I was just about to pose the same question.

;)

[sallyseven]

32. The job is get the oil for Exon, Mobile,

[Rose Siding]

8. 5 Deferment Dick's just worried about his profit margin

[shanti]

26. that's what it's ALLLLL been about

for he, rumsfeld, etc., etc., basically, all the signers of the PNAC document.

[az chela]

9. As if we didnt know from day one who is running this white house

the decider cant decide what socks and shoes to wear and then someone always picks him out that blue shirt.
He is such an ass wipe and cheney is sooooooooooooooo beyond evil

[kenny blankenship]

10. Well you all heard the President--so no backtalking now!

We're not leaving 'til the money's gone--got it?
uh, I mean UNTIL THE JOB IS DONE! We're not leavin' 'til the job is done.

This time, no money's gonna get left on the table.
ooops I mean to say, VICTORY HAS NO TIME TABLE!

[jannyk]

11. What 'retreat' caused 911?

Cheney - "Some in our country may believe in good faith that retreating from Iraq would make America safer. Recent experience teaches the opposite lesson,"

What the fuck is he talking about? What previous 'retreat' experience caused us to be unsafe. How many Vietcong terrorist attacks were there in the US?

[The Count]

12. At least he concedes "good faith" No longer Hitler's appeasers, Dick?

Terrorists lovers? It's good that the election made Dick soften his language a bit. Not me though.
Go Cheney yourself, Dick!

[TheCowsCameHome]

13. FU, Dick. Soon you'll be very irrelevant. Overdue, but very soon.

[texpatriot2004]

14. Oh, well, that settles it then - NOT! nm

[TexasLawyer]

15. He is SO brave!

with other people's children and other people's money.

[llmart]

17. Yes, and all the while hiding in his undisclosed, cushy, bunker.....

Hey, Dickhead, here's a newsflash for you, you chickenshit coward - the Dems are in charge now, so we'll be the "deciders" now. You're on your way out (in more ways than one).

[indepat]

16. Just what is the job that's to be done: convince the people of an occupied nation that

such occupation was for the benefit of people who are getting killed and maimed everyday?

[Jack Rabbit]

18. Cheney has other prioritie$

So the troops have to stay.

[teryang]

19. No retreat from corporate looting free for all in Iraq and DC

Cheney to US- f..k your elections, I'm in charge here.

Cheney to Iraq- f..k off and die, we want your oil, your banks, and your sovereignty.

[LynnTheDem]

20. Anyone ask cheney "5 deferments" dick what "recent experience"

he refers to?

French in Algeria?

Soviets in Afghanistan?

America in Vietnam?

Dear dick;

Shut the bloody fucking hell up.

[immoderate]

22. He sure turns a pretty non sequiter.

Recent events show that if they kill us over there, they don't have to come over here.

--IMM

[rosesaylavee]

21. Well Ok! That settles that. Thought Iraq was

a bit more difficult and complex a topic, but that simplifies it for me. He is a genius, ain't he?



:eyes:

[MindMatter]

23. Hallelujah!!! Iraq will win the 2008 election for us too!!!!!

Thanks, big Dick.

[Theduckno2]

24. Mr. Vice President! Shut up. Step away from the shredder and ...

...turn those documents over to Senator Leahy.

I, like others posters, am clueless to what the recent experience is that Cheney refers to.

Psst Dick, you could call it a strategic phased withdrawal to accelerate the rebuilding process. Just don't say you heard it here.

[Toots]

29. Recent experience teaches the opposite lesson,"

Umm maybe an example could be given like Vietnam, D'oh that seemed to work out just fine, :think:

[Mountainman]

30. He's still trying to make himself relevant. It's too late, daddy's team is on the field now.

Stay the course Dick and prove just what a dick you are. You have 100 million now, isn't that enough? How are you going to spend it in your remaining years? How many more people have to die for your selfishness? I really hope you rot in hell or karma gives you a whooping.

[Infinite Hope]

31. Sounds like a Co-Presidency n/t

[FarrenH]

33. What terrorists?

The ones that weren't attacking the USA out of Iraq? Or the ones the USA created by invading Iraq?

God I hate Dick Cheney. The man is pure evil.
