Cheney "SO?"

The Middle East is deteriorating. I don't call that victory. The green zone's getting rockets lobbed at it.

Well, neocomp knows nothing of leadership skills or how our government works, and he wouldn't know a dictatorship if it bit him in the butt. This country isn't run on majority rule, it is NOT a democracy, and it NEVER WAS a democracy. It is a REPRESENTATIVE REPUBLIC, which means that the people we elect make the decisions for us, no matter what public opinion is. It is our job to try and elect the people who will serve us the best, but once they are elected they pretty much do what they want. Congress is notorious for doing that. The president is the leader of our country and he is the one that makes the decisions. If you don't like the decisions he makes, then the next election is the only real say you have. It never ceases to amaze me how many people have not grasped that very simple concept, and it makes me wonder what the schools are teaching these days. CraftyCorner... Yes the green zone is getting rockets lobbed at it and that is to be expected from time to time. There is a war going on there, and things like that are bound to happen. Did you see the reports of the progress being made... where Iraqi security is now doing the fighting against some of these militias? It has been a long time coming, but it looks like they are well on their way now to being able to handle their own security at last. With the elections coming up, we will probably see more violence in Iraq as these groups are trying to influence our elections here.

Higher violence in Iraq is to be expected to effect our elections. * Yet, Chaney's tour leaves me uneasy for reasons I cannot express properly. It has a feeling of "the other shoe about to drop" that little to nothing to do with Iraq and it's situation.

The entire Republican Guard were trained terrorists. I firmly believe the WMD's are in Syria. It was well known that we were building up our military, so I am sure Hussein moved them.

Israel bombed something in Syria, that's for sure.

The question at issue was why we went to war in the first place. We've yet to find those WMD's. Can you tell me just where they are or went? There is also the fact that Iraq is now a training ground for terrorists where it was not before.

Here's some history on America's actions in Iraq pre-2003 invasion. * http://www.anti-imperialist.org/Iraq-background_9-24-01.html

Quite a good assessment. I just hope this doesn't eventually destroy this country. We've never had a VP quite like this before.

Hopefully we won't have another VP like Cheney ever again lol. I know that is probably gonna happen eventually though.

I know. That interview was so reveling it was scary. I hoped people watched it instead of vegging out to American Idol. One of their kids could be drafted to some adventure for Haloberton. * http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=8429

Cheney is kind of creepy. He seems like he's an alien or cyborg. Now cheney reminds me of an alien.. and Condi Rice a cyborg. No offense to them, but I get that thought in my mind when I see them. I hope out next President can undo the damage the Bush administration has done to our wonderful and free country. Unless then, it's party time!

Having watched the program "Bush's War" my opinion of Condi Rice has changed somewhat. The architects of that war were Cheney, Bush, and Rumsfield. Cheney and Rumsfield had the ear of the president, and the latter treated her like a servant, basically ignoring her sensible suggestions. That show is a good and recommended watch. It shows just how the Iraq war really ticked and got out the starting gate. * PBS is streaming the show for free online. * http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/bushswar/
