Rallying troops after an overnight stay at an air base, Cheney said earlier Tuesday that as long as freedom is suppressed in the Mideast, the region will remain a place of "stagnation, resentment and violence ready for export."

"You and I know what it means to be free," Cheney told the troops at an outdoor rally at Balad Air Base.

"We wouldn't give such freedoms away and neither would the people of Iraq or Afghanistan, but in both of those countries, they're facing attack from violent extremists who want to end all democratic progress and pull them once again in the direction of tyranny.

"We're helping them fight back because it's the right thing to do and because it's important to our own long-term security," Cheney said. "As President Bush has said, the war on terror is an ideological struggle and as long as this part of the world remains a place where freedom does not flourish, it will remain a place of stagnation, resentment and violence ready for export."

1. "We wouldn't give such freedoms away..." But you would take them away

from other people....

[fascisthunter]

2. Men Like Cheney aren't Free

they are trapped in the world of paranoia and fear.

[aquart]

3. He's free...with our money, our lives, and our reputation.

I wish so many things for him.

4. this comment of cheney

substitute "people of America or Iraq"

"We wouldn't give such freedoms away and neither would the people of Iraq or Afghanistan, but in both of those countries, they're facing attack from violent extremists who want to end all democratic progress and pull them once again in the direction of tyranny".


is he talking about what they are doing to America too.


He really does think he is above the law doesn't he? Again, shows his disdain for Iraqi people and American people too.

The more I read this sick man comments it makes me want to do this

:puke:

5. While he's over there he should check in

on how the Saudis are doing on the freedom front...

6. I wish Cheney's knowledge of his freedom were only a distant memory. n/t

7. From the man who has had the freedom

to get loaded, shoot domesticated lethargic birds and a friend in the face without facing prosecution, loot the treasury, and perpetually lie about everything.

Yeah. . .we'd all get away with that stuff.

8. And of course...

The friend you shot in the face would say he's sorry isn't it? What an evil bastard!

[bdamomma]

9. yea, five time deferment dick, what a coward he is.

I am waiting for the day, when his chickens will come back to roost.

10. To paraphrase Orwell, some pigs are more free than other pigs.

[Joanne98]

11. I'm sick of them using "freedom" as a code word for free market capitalism.

I want a global wealth tax. the top 1%.. Up it to 90%. See how "free" they feel then.

12. To cheney freedom is having enough money to turn people into slaves

Buying people, rigging elections, bombing the poor and destitute, enriching his friends and having fillet mignon three meals a day. That is what freedom means to Cheney.

[BeFree]

13. I know

I'll truly be free when that lying sack of crap no longer threatens me with his brand of tyranny.

[dysfunctional press]

14. what about sudan, tibet and myanmar?

:shrug:

when are we going to be confronting those brutal regimes?
