I guess Baghdad was a tad too dangerous for big dick to visit yesterday.

[Philosoraptor]

There was much media hoopla about big dick visiting the troops on Thanksgiving day, here he comes, big dick with a big turkey to give a big snarly pep talk in the green zone.

And almost as soon as that story broke, official denials that cheney was going to Iraq, not gunna happen, not at this juncture, no way, no dick in Iraq.

Why the no show big dick? The constant and ever increasing suicide bombings maybe? Might slow down the schedule for your trip to visit good king Abdullah in Saudi Arabia? Whahappen?

1. The sixth deferment...

Candy assed Dick suffers from a total lack of balls. He's to good to take a chance for Uncle Sam, like he expects your kids to do.

2. so was his trip to Iraq just an ugly rumor?

It popped up and then poofed away so quickly. I guess he had OTHER PRIORITIES.

3. He had pressing bidness at an undisclosed vacation I guess.

Zee Fuhrer Bunker sounded safer I'd say.

12. Maybe he went back to visit Auschwitz

4. Yep, too many

princely asses to kiss in Saudi Arabia. They probably scheduled a public execution or two in his honor - Dick wouldn't want to miss that!
:hide:

5. The King, I MUST visit the king, screw the troops

8. Get 'er done 101...

Never send an eldrerly boy, to do a man sized job. The Army once would have made a MAN outta' Dick, but Candy Assed Dick had better things to do.

10. Once a chicken hawk....

Maybe he reallized that there wouldn't be rose petals and applause to greet him along the streets upon his arrival.

6. Does Dick need protection?

Condomleeza Rice perhaps? Nah, that doesn't make sense. In any case, Cheney (ChickenHawk Dick or is it ChickenDick Hawk) knows how to keep Dick out of harm's way--been doing it long enough.

7. he's packin' a rod

and he's ready to blast

9. Sorry, No Photo Op...The Airport Was Closed...

Looks like the boooosh regime got skunked out of holding the plastic turkey and pretending to care about the troops. Not sure if this was legit, but knowing the games that have been played in the past, had it been safe, methinks Crashcart would have been splashed all over TV screen during half time of some football game, snarking like Penguin and showing how wonderful invading a company for profit can be.

Instead, Baghdad International, that was dangerous under "normal" conditions...remember Condi have to do the corkscrew landing with the flack jacket on? That looks like a pleasant memory now as bombs blew up all over Baghdad yesterday and forced the pupet Malaki regime to close the airport. So no Crashcart. Instead he had to settle for the next best thing...grabbing the snifter and shooting things.

11. Other priorities

The Dick knows cowardice wrapped in arrogance...

[DoYouEverWonder]

13. Maybe Cheney is afraid

that Bush is ready to get rid of him, too?

Gee what a shame, AF2 got hit by an anti-air craft missile. Or bet yet, friendly fire.
