Dick's hot air!

Cheney rejects US 'retreat' from Iraq

20 minutes ago

WASHINGTON (AFP) - Vice President Dick Cheney insisted that US forces would not "retreat" from Iraq, despite strong pressure from Congress to set a timetable for withdrawal from the country.

In a speech late Friday to a powerful conservative lawyers' association, Cheney said a retreat 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."

"Some in this country"?

War criminals are such arrogant asses!

1. If Dickwad wants to stay the course in Iraq ...
... I think he should be able to do so. Just send the troops home, and Dickie can go over there and fight the good fight until the mission is accomplished (whatever THAT is).

I'm not suggesting he do it completely on his own - he can take Bush, Rummy, Wolfowitz, Adelman, Rice, Kristol and Perle with him.

I'm happy to give them all a lift to the airport.

3. What the hell! Let's celebrate the departure, Redstone ...
... rent a stretch limo, complete with a fully-stocked bar and cold lobster (even a neocon can suffer from low food security).

5. For a second I thought you meant Dick Morris.
So it was with some relief that it was just the other asshole.
