Well, he's always been right before, eh?

Amazing -- Even when he looks so discredited on everything, he springs up and comes across as a decent intelligent guy.

So what is better -- a blissfully ignorant ruler, or a very bright and articulate guy who is woefully militaristic and a tortured soul when it comes to matters related to the military industrial complex?

VP Halliburton Cheney cannot see the other side of the coin when it comes to finding a diplomatic path that does not involve enriching defense contractors. So, even when Cheney sounds like he MIGHT be providing honest insight, one cannot help but discount his public comments as something less than the 100% reliable.

Keep up Your delusions Cheney that's all You've got isn't it. Bwhahahahahah

Larry Mohr

Yeah, right!

And democracy is going to spring up all over the middle east.

Cheney is a bit of an enigma, isn't he.

He just blithfully trudges along, totally oblivious of the death and destruction in his wake.

Calling Cheney a "charmer" takes a great leap of faith.

He's about as charming as a pit viper.

This is the same asshole who declared that the Iraqis will greet us as liberators. bwhahahahaha what a delusional person He is.

Larry Mohr

This will eventually take it's place among the pantheon, along with "last throes" and "flowers and chocolates".

By "full democracy", Cheney means in two years is the Iraqi Vice President will be able to shoot someone in the face, sans consequences.

since I cant wait for the nooner and I am SURE that this thread will be 'hot'........yuk yuk

Quick question BL2. Do you still love Bush?

BLT it's 28 degrees out TOO HOT for Me. I am waiting on 0 or below and THEN I will be happy.

Larry Mohr

If progress is being made in Iraq it is in spite of Cheney not because of anything he has contributed, probably the best thing they have done was to fire Rumsfeld. It appears that when the president actually began listening to the generals instead of just claiming to listen things improved. This administration could improve its ability to function in direct proportion to the number of cronies that they fire.

Woo hoo, only 5 years behind schedule.

That's a coincidence - I'm predicting Democracy in the U.S. in '09 - after the Democrats sweep to 2/3rd majority and Hillary takes the White House.


Quick question BL2. Do you still love Bush?

Posted by truepatriot at 2007


DAMN STRAIGHT>......I get pussy every chance I get.....and I dont play for the other team...


and thanks for being concerned about my sex life.....

LARRY.........you're sick..........0 to 10.......you can have that all youwant.....just dont FART and push all that weather this way.......

That's NOT what comes out of those black heads You sweeze.

Larry Mohr

Since My Backdoor (The door of My House RCADE) faces south. I will be sure and open it up just for You BLT.

Larry Mohr

BL2 I suspect you find you "girlfriend's" vagina 2 inches or so back from "her" testicles. Hitting the mark am I?

Cheney, Rummy and Wolfy have robbed us all blind while spouting bullshit.

Trillions flushed down our toilets into their open mouths. Greedfucking monsters they are.

ultra liberal houston rep....shiela jacksonlee.....is sponsoring leg that will make spring nonviolent offenders MUCH SOONER than thier sentence..........

that sounds great doesnt it

She works for Mike "I never met a serial rapist I didn't like" Huckleberry?

Cheney serves but one purpose. Preventing anyone from wanting to shoot the President.

no and that was a pretty lame comeback.......maybe you can check with lisa.....she's pretty good at that.........getting it from lisa is the only way larry ever says anything clever.....so maybe you should try it.....
come on you can do better than that?????

but you have to admit.....when you asked if I still loved bush and I answered about pussy.....get it
get it get it........
thanks for making my pun come alive.


gotta go....there are birdies to be shot
and margartitas to be drunk after that
and liberals to destroy at every turn....

a REAL patriots work is never done..

hasta laredo.........

"no and that was a pretty lame comeback.......maybe you can check with lisa.....she's pretty good at that"

Ha! I am the Queen of Smartass!!


Poor Iraqis...Cheney has just doomed them to fascism with his awesome track record of predictions.

since there are plenty of libs here and they compare cheney with chavez but they love the dictator.....lets do a backtrack for a moment.

remember the other day when you all celebrated his defeat and still attacked us....

well here is quote from the aftermath...

"we are prepared for a long battle. I dont take back even one comma from this proposal. Its still alive. Its not dead."he said that he would pursue these items (VOTED DOWN BY THE PEOPLE),,,,,through "OTHER MEANS".....and that means new laws from the leg that HE CONTROLS and decrees that he can just come up with.......

so he will not be accepting the results with manners and grace as many of you said.

what does this have to do with cheney....
nothing........so sue me.......

hey lisa baby.......its about time you got your ass out of bed and started the day.........yuk yuk

If you backtracked any farther your music lessons would involve rocks, BL2.

Cheney is at 8% popularity.
4% if unarmed.

Remember, this is the guy who stated Rummy was the best Secretary of Defence, ever. The guy who couldn't figure out a "remarkably successful surge".

"hey lisa baby.......its about time you got your ass out of bed and started the day"

Honey, St. Nick came last night. I've been up since 4am...a half hour earlier than normal because a particular little guy couldn't wait to see if he had anything in his stocking.

Prewar predictions coming back to bite

By Susan Page, USA TODAY

WASHINGTON -- Armchair generals and media critics aren't the only people whose comments are giving heartburn to administration officials defending the progress of the war with Iraq. The officials also face questions about their own remarks made before the fighting began.

Now, President Bush says the war will last "however long it takes."
Then, Vice President Cheney, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and Gen. Richard Myers, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, spoke optimistically in interviews and at briefings about the prospects that the war would be short, Iraqi resistance limited and Iraqi citizens welcoming. (BWAAA)

Now, the president has pounded the podium when asked how long the war would last -- "However long it takes," he replied Thursday with open annoyance -- and Myers said Sunday, "Nobody should have any illusions that this is going to be a quick and easy victory." (double BWAAAAA)

More:
www.usatoday.com

Cheney is usually wrong on these things. But even if he's right, I think the follow up question should be: "And what does that do to benefit Americans on the whole?"

Thousands of lives and billions of treasury are lost and I don't see what the country has gained. It is not the job of our government to send people to die and to tax Americans so that people who hate us can have democracy.

I predict that Cheney will make more fantasyland predictions.

What world does Cheney live on? Seriously... This sort of bullshit falls out of Cheney's mouth all the time, and I'm not sure it's ever been correct. The only time I'll believe something Cheney says is if I he lets out an evil cackle afterwords.

BL2:
You are dissembling more than usual.

Number of predictions about the Middle East Cheney has been correct on in the past.

With all of the elections that Iraq has had, how is it not already a democracy?

Seems to me that Iraq is already a democracy by the very definition of the word. May not be the the safest democracy, but neither is Detroit.

"and sexual soliticters OF MINORS......

Just think, if she would have done this back in the 80's, you wouldn't have spent most of the 90's in the slammer, for what you did with those little hornblowers in your class. You probably screwed those little boys up for life.

Well he's been right all along as far as Iraq is concerned. Maybe this Cheney Administration has been right all along, maybe this people are really the men for the times. Remember parades welcoming us, the War would be paid by Iraqi Oil, cost no more that $50 Billion Dollars, come on you Partisians FUCKS you remember all of this don't you???? I don't think so!!!!!


Jesus what a bunch of CRAP!!!! WHO is listening to this fucking ASSHOLE???? An who care what this fuck has to say....Listen people this dumb FUCK has been wrong since day one, re compute your memory and realize that he has been wrong about everything.... To give this War Criminal any ink is a fucking disgrace!!!!

Let me be the first to put this into your memory bank, in the middle of 2008 we will find out how much money Cheney, will have to made from his War contacts (STOCKS) at Halliburton. The millions and millions that this fucking War Criminal made in the years of this War will embarass even the most loyal Partisan Republican.....Remember this it is coming!!!!!

Most democracies are not occupied militarily Commonsense.

Boy, your handle sure is ironic.......

Vice President Cheney today predicted Iraq will be a self-governing democracy by the time he leaves office, calling the current U.S. surge strategy "a remarkable success story" that will be studied for years to come.
The surge wouldn't have been necessary if they hadn't mismanaged the war in the first place.
If they'd had enough troops on the ground, and hadn't disbanded the Iraqi military they wouldn't have needed to do the surge.

They will be studying this for years to come, to be sure this never happens again.

Easy there Celisary.....

Remember, every time this man speaks is another opportunity to piss into his mouth....

Lighten up a little.

Cheney Predicts Iraqi Democracy by '09

I though they already were!

What was all that purple finger bullshit about!?

bullshitlover, can you provide a link to that legisltation? or is it another unsubstantiated lie on your part?

If Iraqi democracy actually does occur in 2009, who is more audacious?

Cheney for having predicted it?

Or the President in office in 09 claiming the credit? You know they'll claim the credit

Kinda reminds me of that one time where Cheney predicted that the Iraqi people would think of us as liberators and run out cheering with flowers and candy (oil)! Shame that never actually happened. Pretty good prediction if only it came true.

Ahh the good Ol'days!!

oh oh and that other prediction where they said the oil money from Iraq Would pay for the war. anyone remember that prediction?

ya ...

bullshitlover, can you provide a link to that legisltation? or is it another unsubstantiated lie on your part?

I don't think he's lying about what he says he reads most of the time (I'm not sure we always get a proper translation). I DO think he's too lazy to learn how to post a link or blog entry, but it's only a loss to his own credibility.

This will eventually take it's place among the pantheon, along with "last throes" and "flowers and chocolates".

Don't forget, "The war is lost" - Democratic senate majority leader Harry Reid & "there's no light at the end of the tunnel" - Democratic Speaker of the house, Nancy Pelosi & "they (US Troops)killed innocent civilians in cold blood." - Dem Rep. John Murtha

"Don't forget, "The war is lost" - Democratic senate majority leader Harry Reid & "there's no light at the end of the tunnel" - Democratic Speaker of the house, Nancy Pelosi & "they (US Troops)killed innocent civilians in cold blood." - Dem Rep. John Murtha"

Ya that's why no one likes the democrats either. Both parties are full of shit.

They were right, Cheney never is. You have a point?

They were right, Cheney never is. You have a point?

yes, yours is an asinine comment since the war is so obviously not lost and the troops that Murtha said killed innocent civilians in cold blood before the investiagtion was even over have been exonerated.

As a veteran, you should be ashamed of perpetuating Murtha's smear on these good soldiers names.

"As a veteran, you should be ashamed of perpetuating Murtha's smear on these good soldiers names."

Right.

It's so much worse than supporting the moron that put those good soldiers in a country to be used as decoys, to lure the enemy there where he knew many would be killed.

Hey Bowa:
I'll say it on record. They murdered innocent civilians. Whether or not there will be a whitewash remains to be seen.

Isn't this now the 2nd or 3rd run for him claiming democracy in Iraq by such and such a date. Hell has he not even as gone so far to tell us it already has been done?

Let's see.....

Flowers and chocolates
Last throes....



I wish this guy would just keep his mouth shut.

I've been wondering this too lately, especially on that other thread where half the responders were calling for the carpet bombing of Sudan and denouncing the muslim religion as not one of peace.

And yet the same ilk will go to the mat to defend the mission in Iraq to save the muslims there. That seems a strange disconnect for me. They want people to embrace an idea that they do not believe they are capable of embracing.

I mean for starters do you really think they will be the first muslim nation to decide Israel doesn't need to die after all? Lets really hear it folks.

This dream, this mission we call Iraq. Maybe someone who truly believes in this mission can tell me what the end result is we are trying to provide. And if the answer involves the second coming of christ, sorry you lose. Many of you can't even be bothered to tolerate those that come from Mexico to improve they're lives.

I could be completely off base on this, but Iraq kinda seems to me as crazy as going into Iran to help them build nuclear weapons....

The thought I've put into the end result, at its most rosiest, seems implausible.

Bowa as an American I am more ashamed of Bush and his cronies than I ever will be of an American hero like Murtha. Why do you hate our troops? Are you one of the fellow chickenhawks?

"Murtha "and the other senior leaders ... march to the tune of Nancy Pelosi to an extent I had not seen, frankly, with any previous speaker," Cheney said. "I'm trying to think how to say all of this in a gentlemanly fashion, but [in] the Congress I served in, that wouldn't have happened." But his implication was clear: When asked if these men had lost their spines, he responded, "They are not carrying the big sticks I would have expected."

I'm not a big fan of Cheney -- but sometimes I just think he's lots of fun -- he's like one of those old time politicans who never pulls his punches and just says whatever he wants with a wink in his eye.

Sometimes I think Cheney is just rubbing the Democrats nose in the dirt for the hell of it because he knows what a thin skin they have and how much he drives them nuts.

If he did, the lefties would run out of talking points, and actually have to think for themselves.

That seems to be your job. Look in the mirror.
Cheney was a soldier? Boy, are you lost.
Show me any post where I defamed any soldier.
You cannot, they are still my brother in arms. Unlike you.

Why am I here? To rub chickenhawk neocons noses in the dirt. Like you.

Show me any post where I defamed any soldier.

You just said on another thread that Murtha was right to call troops who were later exonerated "cold blooded murderers".

For you to continue to support murthas comments even after these innnocent soldiers were exonerated is just continuing the defmation of their names and character.

Murtha is being sued now for his comments -- and I hope he loses everythng he owns.

BTW: I am a navyvet as well -- and I am ashamed to know that someone who so obviously hates those that serve now that he chooses to defame the innocent -- also served in my navy.

Show me any post where I defamed any soldier.

Yeah, and that sure is something to be admired. Nothing but a statesman, eh? Or more like a 20 year old frat boy, who just happens to be head of the most powerful nation on earth. And idiot cheerleaders like you cheering him on. What a country.

Yesterday, harry reid called all the GOP senators "puppets" -- so yes I find it all pretty amusing that our leaders are more frat boys then monks in a monastery.

And yes this is the way I like my politics -- a rowdy bunch who are all fighting like hell to win for America. Unfortunately, in recent years the polarization of the parties has been so prounounced that doing what's in the best interest of America seems to take a back seat to partisan chicanery far too often.

Newsflash, Bowa: This "just rubbing the Democrats nose in the dirt for the hell of it because he knows what a thin skin they have and how much he drives them nuts" is NOT "fighting like hell to win for America."

Newsflash, Bowa: This "just rubbing the Democrats nose in the dirt for the hell of it because he knows what a thin skin they have and how much he drives them nuts" is NOT "fighting like hell to win for America."

Nope you are right that is purely an exercise by Cheney in rubbing the Democrats nose in the dirt for the hell of it because he knows what a thin skin they have and how much he drives them nuts.

But that's politics too.

Gots to throw some red meat to the base. And demoralize the Kossacks you know.

calling the current U.S. surge strategy "a remarkable success story" that will be studied for years to come.


Yes it will, as an example of what NOT to do.

If the surge worked, then Bushco is criminally responsible for not doing it years ago and saving thousands of lives.

The incompetence is staggering.

BTW: I am a navyvet as well -- and I am ashamed to know that someone who so obviously hates those that serve now that he chooses to defame the innocent -- also served in my navy.

maybe he just hates the lying murderes who sent them into harms way in the first place.

Booya! Take dat libs! Whaddya gotta say now, ya whiney granola-eatin' sissies? Only took 5 years! Wit ya'll in charge, twoulda' taken, uhhhhh...
oh...
Shit.

He's been wrong on everything else, who beleives this shit?

I don't believe this shit either.

If only one could count on his being right this time...

Remember when he said in 1992 that invading Iraq would be a waste of time, lives and money??? WOnder what changed his mind...

(Hint: Halliburton???)

so he will not be accepting the results with manners and grace as many of you said.

what does this have to do with cheney....
nothing........so sue me.......

hey lisa baby.......its about time you got your ass out of bed and started the day.........yuk yuk

"Not accepting results"

Kinda like when Cheney said that even knowing then what he knows now, he STILL would have invaded Iraq?

Cheney basically said that he didn't care about the fact that we NEVER found ANY of the items they used as a reason for war, and that he still would do it.

4000 dead soldiers and their families might disagree.

I could care less about democracy in Iraq. That country is now a hellhole -- thanks to Bush. I want those billions and billions of dollars Bush and his Neocon thieves stole from our Treasury taken back from their private bank accounts and used for some good here in the U.S.

GOD DAMN! I'm gonna buy me some Dinars!!

"There's a sucker born every minute" - PT Barnum

It is my understanding we first need to complete the final throws 5 years ago until we can even think of Democracy

I predict that Cheney's prediction will be wrong...again...

Only three quotes are needed to tell you all you need to know about Cheney.

"I had other priorities in the sixties than military service." -- When asked why he got five draft deferments.

"There would have been a US occupation of Iraq ... It's a quagmire ... how many additional dead Americans is Saddam worth? Our judgment was, not very many, and I think we got it right." -- When asked, in 1994, why America didn't go on to Baghdad and remove Saddam in 1991"

"Go fuck yourself." -- When asked about Halliburton's profiteering.

Still not convinced? Here's a few more.

"There are a lot of lessons we want to learn out of this process in terms of what works. I think we are in fact on our way to getting on top of the whole Katrina exercise."

"My belief is we will, in fact, be greeted as liberators."

"We know he's been absolutely devoted to trying to acquire nuclear weapons, and we believe he has, in fact, reconstituted nuclear weapons."

"In Iraq, a ruthless dictator cultivated weapons of mass destruction and the means to deliver them.
He gave support to terrorists, and had an established relationship with al Qaeda."

"I think they're in the last throes, if you will, of the insurgency."

"My family and I are deeply sorry for all that vice president Cheney has had to go through this past week .... we hope that he will continue to come to Texas and seek the relaxation that he deserves." -- Harry Whittington, apologizing for putting his face in the way of Cheney's aim.

Democracy? As in the democracies of Iran, Russia, or Venezuela? Sorta democracies, all. I don't suspect Iraq 09 will be better than any of those.

The difference between one of those and Saddamland? Marginal. Is the improvement worth a *trillion* (and growing daily) dollars? Will it be worth hundreds of millions of dollars a year, forever, to support protect the Iraqi 'democracy'?

This is what Obama can say that Mrs Clinton can not. He can look a Republican in the eye and say "Would you spend another trillion, another few thousand lives, and do it all over again? I wouldn't, and I didn't think we needed to the first time." Mrs Clinton cannot do that. She already proved that she will jump into the bottomless pit.

Isn't this the idiot that claimed Saddam was trying to buy yellow cake uranium in Africa?

Only thing I would believe from Cheney is "PULL", if he had a gun... but then he doesn't have a great record of warning his targets; does he?

Come on now peeps!

Cheney wasn't always wrong. Remember he DID predict the VERY mess that he made.

www.democrats.org

The man has to be evil. Only a dark lord of the sith could make a man apologize to him for being shot.

Famous Cheney Quotes:
"...flowers and chocolates..."
"...last throes..."
"PULL!!!..oh shit!..."
"...democracy by 2009..."

Between Bush, Cheney, Huckabee, and Craig, the presidential election may not have to take place. We can just have a national voice vote.

Assuming the Dems don't fuck it up AGAIN.

Most democracies are not occupied militarily Commonsense.

Boy, your handle sure is ironic.......

My post was SARCASM.

As for this 'democracy' being occupied militarily, ask your Dumbya and Dickless why that is.

"Vice President Cheney today predicted Iraq will be a self-governing democracy by the time he leaves office, calling the current U.S. surge strategy "a remarkable success story" that will be studied for years to come. "

As Bill Maher rightfully stated about this administration making predictions,,,,,," Hey Nostradamus,,why don't you sit this one out ! "

Cheney, who has been widely criticized for overly optimistic -- and sometime flat wrong -- projections in the past...

"Sometimes" flat wrong?

Excuse please! When the hell did Cheney EVER get it right?

Okay, other than back in '92 when he said invading Iraq would be a waste of lives and money?

Yeah, Spud didn't think so!

Spud to T&C? "Charming"?! WTF?!

Yer thinking of the guy with the flute not
Cheney!

Cheney's about as charming as a bad case of Elephantitus of the nutZ!

Be Well.

Don't forget, "The war is lost" - Democratic senate majority leader Harry Reid & "there's no light at the end of the tunnel" - Democratic Speaker of the house, Nancy Pelosi & "they (US Troops)killed innocent civilians in cold blood." - Dem Rep. John Murtha

No need to worry Bowa,

Just like Afghanistan was a 'victory', we'll probably have to go back into Iraq within a few years of pulling out as well.

You republicants have strange ways of measuring success.....half-ass the job, so there's always room left to do it all over again. Some strategy.

"they (US Troops)killed innocent civilians in cold blood." - Dem Rep. John Murtha

They did kill innocent civilians in cold blood.

Spud can't stop thinking of the one li'l kid who survived there.

After the troops killed everybody in the house one of the soldiers came back into the place. The kid was pretending to be dead and prolly in shock. The soldier then unzipped his pants and pissed on the body of his relative. The kid has his eyes closed but you really can't mistake that sound or smell.

The Army reduced the charges adn then used their own cover-up to force Murtha to mumble some bullshit about the surge "working" no doubt using threats to his career.

If the US sticks around long enuff and the mercenaries don't take the li'l kids head off with a pot-shot then he will definitely grow up to strap on a bomb-vest and try to avenge his dead family.

Brought up under the same circumstances so would you Bowa.

Spud had a thread on the topic. It had 5 comments and three of them were Spud's.

Sorry, you were trying to make some kinda point about how thge Dems are wrong and Iraq is a success.

Don't let Spud stop ya now.

Spud's all ears.

Actually Spud is mostly eyes but ya get Spud's drift.

...Hopefully.

Be Well.

PS: Exactly how much Helliburton do you have in yer portfolio again?

They will be studying this for years to come, to be sure this never happens again.

Let's hope. You don't know how close this government came to total domination of the entire process. If the Hammer Tom Delay hadn't gotten into such trouble it's possible that the Congress would still be in GOP habds and that any "disloyal" GOP would be replaced by a "loyal" GOP. Checks and balances would have become a joke -- And W would have gone on in his bubble thinking that the entire process wasn't overly politicized. It will be a generation before (or if) the SCOTUS will back away from backing the imperial powers of the VPOTUS and POTUS over the legislature.
