Cheney Pays Tribute to Veterans
58 minutes ago

ARLINGTON, Va. (AP) — Vice President Dick Cheney paid tribute Sunday to veterans of the Iraq war, honoring them for keeping the United States democratic and free and hoping "they will return in victory."

In a 10-minute Veterans Day speech at Arlington National Cemetery, Cheney said soldiers from World War I to "the current fight against terrorism" have served their country valiantly and "above all they kept us free at the land we call home."

"Free to live as we see fit, free to work, worship, speak our minds, to choose our own leaders," the vice president said. "May the rest of us never take them for granted."

Cheney quoted Gen. David Petraeus, the top U.S. commander in Iraq, in saying troops there are fighting in a complex and challenging situation, and praised them for a "magnificent job."

"Our conduct of our military today and throughout our nation's history makes this country very proud," Cheney said. "It is our prayer they will return in victory, safely home, to live out their lives and be here to observe many Veterans Days to come."

President Bush, who spent the weekend at his ranch in Crawford, Texas, planned to visit an American Legion post in nearby Waco and make remarks Sunday afternoon.

3. I don't expect any different behavior from *

He feels nothing for the men, women and their familes. He feels nothing for his country or he would have served where he rightfully should have in the draft years, in Viet Nam. It was bad enough his daddy kept him from going, but to make matters worse, he went missing while on duty and most of the nation seems to have given him a pass on it. Maybe he's going to have a few with the boys in Waco today, chatting about their wars years.......

4. I've disagreed with many presidents, but I've never truly been ashamed of any--until now.

I keep tellking my RW acquaintances: "Would you say that if it was a Democratic president who (snubbed a Vet's ceremony, refused to meet with a foreign dignitary, used the Constitution for toilet paper, invaded Iraq, ad nauseum).

8. "Return in victory"--what hollow, dishonest, irresponsible words. There is no victory

to an occupation. Rot in hell, you sick fuck.

9. It's "decider in thief" and

I'd just as soon the thief stay in his hidey hole at the pig farm than desecrate our air waves.

That would be the ultimate in hypocrisy, and in incredible insult to those who, you know...actually SERVED!!
