Cheney Sees 'Lot of Bloodshed' in Iraq

United Press International


Vice President Dick Cheney stands by his comment that the Iraqi insurgency was in its last throes but expects a lot of bloodshed in coming months.

Cheney said that progress being made in establishing a new Iraq government and democracy will indeed eventually end the violence though the conflict between now and then will be intense.

"We will succeed in Iraq, just like we did in Afghanistan," he said. "We will stand up a new government under an Iraqi-drafted constitution. We will defeat that insurgency, and, in fact, it will be an enormous success story."

The vice president also said, "We've got a pretty good idea of the general area where al-Qaida mastermind Osama bin Laden is hiding" but declined to elaborate.

And he said the Bush administration officials don't pay a lot of attention to polls showing declining public support among Americans for the Iraq war.

4. Cheney... would that be 'showers of flowers' Cheney?
He can stuff his predictions up his ass. We are not buying it.

5. I don't think they HAVE "succeeded" in Afghanistan.
Edited on Fri Jun-24-05 08:34 AM by Taxloss
It's still a mess over there as well, albeit not quite as bloody a one as Iraq; the government doesn't control much beyond Kabul.

Edited for typo, and to say: Unless "success" is "keeping it out of the headlines".

6. "We've got a pretty good idea of the general area where...
...al-Qaida mastermind Osama bin Laden is hiding". The operative word in his statement I believe is "general". Go ahead, throw a dart:

7. Administration doesn't pay attention to polls?
I guess they just scheduled the current full-court media press because things are going so well, that they're simply bored.

8. Cheney Is Bonkers
This line should be expanded however to be more realistic.

And he said the Bush administration officials don't pay a lot of attention to polls showing declining public support among Americans for the Iraq war. In Fact, he said, even if every American in the country was demanding we leave Iraq, they would not be thwarted from accomplishing their mission.

10. He needs his meds increased...
The big dick is clearly delusional.

There should be some way to remove him from office based on his psychosis.

Same deal for the chimp.

26. I'll bet they know exactly where he is
or have him long captured.

Without him "on the run," they have nothing to scare the American people with.

22. Cheney said in October of 2004 "It doesn't matter what the polls say, wait
until the votes are counted" One of these days he will get his due.

23. I'll bet OBL's been in that fancy lair Cheney built! No, OBL is dead
He died of his illness in 12/01. IF OBL was involved in 9-11, some sort of deal was probably cut to use his name as the perpetrator in exchange for getting the bases out of SA...remember the CIA visited him at the hospital in France in July 2001. Probably said, "You're toast anyway, let's make a deal."
