COLORADO SPRINGS, Nov. 3 -- The Bush administration is determined to continue "full speed ahead" with its policy in Iraq, regardless of Tuesday's midterm elections, Vice President Cheney said Friday.

Cheney said in an interview with ABC News that the administration is convinced that it is pursuing the right path in Iraq.

"It may not be popular with the public. It doesn't matter, in the sense that we have to continue what we think is right," Cheney said. "That's exactly what we're doing. We're not running for office. We're doing what we think is right."
....
"The war on terror is a battle for the future of civilization. It's a battle worth fighting," Cheney said. "It's a battle we are going to win."

......
Cheney's appearance before troops was typical for the vice president, who polls indicate is unpopular among much of the general public but is well liked here in the mountain West and among military audiences.

On Thursday, Cheney headlined a rally in Idaho. He was the star of a rally for Colorado Republicans at the luxurious Broadmoor resort Friday evening. On Saturday, he is scheduled to address a GOP crowd in his home state of Wyoming before returning to Washington.

2. "Screw what the American people think" - Dick "Five Deferments" Cheney

"This is a plutocracy, not a frikking democracy. Commander George AWOL Bush and I know what's best for our military, and for our republicon oil and munitions cronies. We are making a fortune on this oil war. So shut up and sit down." - Five Deferments Cheney

3. Insane man

Doing the same thing over and over with the same results is insanity. These people are freaks and we need to win Tuesday to at least slow their progress of destroying our country and more lives.

4. He's got 2 months from Tuesday.

Damn right it's "Full speed ahead!"

[Thor_MN]

5. right path being defined as that which doesn't place me in the Hague.

Both Bush and DIck are being given a pass on this. I think most of the world, except for the far right sheeple, understands now that Iraq is and was a miserable failure. Yet * and Co continually speak of "success" or "victory" in Iraq and no one bothers to ask what that means. The meaning of Success or Victory has been reduced to anything that doesn't convict us of the war crimes that we commited.

20. So long as our children will sing great songs about us

"If we just let our vision of the world go forth, and we embrace it entirely, and we don't try to piece together clever diplomacy but just wage a total war, our children will sing great songs about us years from now."

21. "It may not be popular with the public. It doesn't matter,..."
