BOOGA BOOGA BOOGA! Withdrawing from Iraq = BIG terror in USA!

[Bluebear]

CAMP LEJEUNE, North Carolina (Reuters) - Vice President Dick Cheney warned on Monday that Iraq could become a staging area for large-scale terrorist attacks on the United States if troops are withdrawn too early, as he tried to shore up waning public support for the war.

1. Shouldn't he be busy baking a cake...

STFU Dick! Hope that file doesn't set off the metal detectors! LOL!!!

Peace.

2. Well......

Whenever one of the "allies" talked about withdrawing or drawing down troop strength - what happened?

Spain - hit.
London - hit.
Australia - Bali was hit.

Coincidence????????????????

[Sparkman]

13. only war profiteers benefit from terrorist type bombings,ALL the rest lose

The terroists lose crediblilty for tageting innocent civilians, making their strategists' criticism of the west less sincere.
The victims suffer death and injuries.
The society gets diverted from more important funding of health & education programs, on both sides of the battle.
Coincidence is no explanation.

3. Darn! There goes the "You can tell a person's soccial/economic class

by their teeth" theory.

[louis-t]

16. Every time I see this photo I think...

"Cheney, yer, like, a gazillionare, get yer teeth fixed!"

[jazzjunkysue]

19. And take Condi in with you. Geesh. It's like we're brits, or something.

Embarassing.

[patrice]

27. He's so rich his teeth don't matter socially.

People will always sell themselves to him anyway.

[wanpete]

4. so..this will be the new mantra...an iraq pullout will certainly cause

a major terrorist attack on u.s. soil. this is so sick and simple. when will these idiots realize this game is over. it won't work anymore. people are more afraid of rita and katrina than an arab boogeyman. GIVE IT UP *CO. GAME OVER. YOU LOSE!

[Bluebear]

12. It IS sick, isn't it?

Sick, sick, sick, sick, people. If anyone believes this shit anymore, shame on them.

5. oh geez..what an awful picture.

I'm embarrassed to say we wear the same glasses. I'll go to the optician tomorrow and change mine.

[maxsolomon]

6. please explain the chain of events that would occur, DICK

western nations all have to live with the possibility of terror. another attack, even of the scale of 9-11, won't cause the republic to collapse, no matter how much you'd like to be dictator, you DICK.

[durablend]

20. You're not seeing the whole picture

If we pull out of Iraq, Dickless and his crew are going to bomb Uhmerikka as punishment.

7. And it isn't now? Dick, Charlie Rangel is right. You're out of it.

This guy has gone over the edge.

[Eurobabe]

8. you'd think with all the $$ Dick made from Halliburton, he'd have gotten

some orthodontic work done.

[TheCowsCameHome]

9. Wrong. There's only so much you can do with tusks, my friend

[Zero Division]

10. Who pounded the ant hill in the first place, Dick?

Sometimes I wonder if that isn't his intention. I just find it very hard to believe these people are that clueless. Anyone with the slightest objectivity could see that "democratizing" Iraq wasn't going to be like post-war Germany and Japan, two very homogeneous societies compared to Iraq. But of course to mention this is to "not want the Iraqi people to succeed".

11. I'll probably get jumped, but...

while I would do just about anything to see that craggy faced bastard locked up, the fact is we do need to continue to support the development of a stable government in Iraq. Anyone remember Afghanistan?

[Sparkman]

17. 300+ U.S. military bases outside our country. 15% of GNP military plust bl

ack ops, CIA.
Japan abandoned by U.S., thriving eversince
Germany occupied, for 35 years of coldwar 'til U.S. Left, then stable
Italy never occupied by U.S., stable
Vietnam abandoned by U.S., now stable.
Nicuragua abandoned by U.S., now stable.
Venezuela covert ops abandoned, now stable.


S. Korea occupied, still divided
Columbia covert ops ongoing, internal wars.
Afganistan occupied by U.S., disaster economy & political unstable.
Iraq occupied by U.S., death & instability ever since.
Please reconsider what the warrior class does to civilians.

21. Do you think thats fair

putting strategies, tactics, military budgets, and a boatload of politics I did not speak for... into my mouth.

All I am saying is we should examine ways to prevent another Afghanistan.

I gotta run.

[Sparkman]

26. Right, my history listing of U.S. aggression, and not your words or anythi

ng else. unfair, sorry. do you agree occupation of Afganistan is unsucessful, and not democracy or nation building.

[BootinUp]

28. It appears to be a pretty big mess.

But I don't have a lot of on the ground facts.

I think we have some smart people in the Dem party that can help move both these countries in the right direction by involving more of the regional players. We should be a broker for discussions. As far as military involvement, I think we should only be providing training, and some defense as necessary. But I am not an expert on security.

[Sparkman]

29. exactly. Repubs IGNORE their own experts, Dems rely on SUPERIOR experts!

[me b zola]

14. Dems should reply loudly

That it was just this fear mongering about mushroom clouds over the US that dick used to scare people into voting for bush* in '04. That would help to remind people of how badly they were mislead/lied to, and remember how we got into this mess in Iraq to begin with.
