Cheney says war on terror is on right track

[sabra]

Source: Tulsa World

The U.S. is on track in Iraq and Afghanistan, the answer to higher gasoline prices is more oil wells and more refineries, and America and the world are better for the George W. Bush presidency, Vice President Dick Cheney told Oklahoma Republicans Friday evening at the Crowne Plaza Hotel.

"When the history is written, it will be said this is a safer country and more hopeful world because George Bush was president," Chaney said.

The vice president spoke for about 20 minutes during a kickoff banquet for the Oklahoma Republican Convention. The biggest portion of the speech dealt with Iraq, Afghanistan and terrorism.

"Our strategy is the right strategy," he said. "The only way we can lose is to quit."

The only way to lose is to quit...and of course, it's a multi-generational war, so there's no end and therefore no quitting.

[Solly Mack]

20. Cheney: History will show Bush created a 'more hopeful world'

Source: The Raw Story

"When the history is written, it will be said this is a safer country and more hopeful world because George Bush was president," Cheney said, according to Oklahoma's Tulsa World.

Of Iraq, Cheney quipped: "Our strategy is the right strategy. The only way we can lose is to quit."

If the US departs, he said, it would show America "doesn't have the stomach for a fight." Cheney himself received five draft deferments to avoid service in the Vietnam war.

To justify a US presence in the wartorn region, Cheney cited the Russian experience in Afghanistan.

21. Oh my god Bush is the Velvet Underground?

Talking of history and what not, they have that total Truman thing going. Except truman made a dozen contreversial decisions and arguably only 2 were borne out to SUCK to a majority. BUSH has done one big thing and will go down the tubes for that alone.

[ananda]

22. Maybe Cheney's is a voice from an alternate universe.

There's certainly not much room for hope
in this world.. largely because of Bush
and his corporate cronies and masters.

26. We're totally sick of you war mongers and profiteers and fighting.

Sheesh.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

27. A more hopeful world???

For who?

Neocons?

War profiteers?

Terrorists?

God help us......


:puke:

[BrokenSocialScene]

36. Heh..

believe it or not you've just covered a lot of people. KBR's outlook is quite a bit more hopeful because of George.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

39. I'm sure I have!

And, BTW...Welcome to DU!

Enjoy yourself in our very crazy, very addictive little village!

[bean fidhleir]

69. Exactly. You nailed it exactly. Any time those guys talk about how beneficial

their behavior is, they're talking the benefits THEY get.

[jimshoes]

28. Perhaps the mercury from shooter's dental work

is leeching into his blood and pooling in his head. It would explain these ramblings.

[ShockediSay]

29. Hopeful we nevr see this brand of Fascism in this country again nt

[DB1]

30. Let's recommend this thread to remind us of what Dems are against!

[bean fidhleir]

74. Not all Dems are against it -- or don't you count the DINOs?

[balantz]

31. I would laugh

if there weren't so much death and suffering at their hands.

I would laugh if impeachment were under way.

[tularetom]

32. Cheney: I manipulated that stupid POS into creating a more hopeful world

'Yes he's an idiot and he really would have f*^ked things up if I hadn't been pulling the strings. Aren't you glad his dumbass father put me in charge of selecting a vice presidential candidate for the simple shit. Now you can all go fuck yerselves. Bwahahahahahaha"

[Olney Blue]

33. Must be why his approval rating is SO HIGH

[DavidDvorkin]

34. The Russian experience in Afghanistan was, in the end, to

accept reality and to stop wasting their blood and treasure.

Every empire learns that lesson eventually, if it's not destroyed first.

[54anickel]

35. Well, when you hit rock bottom the only way out is up. Heck of a job!

[judasdisney]

37. History will be re-written by the Neocon victors

The CIA, NSA, DOD, DIA, Joint Chiefs, CENTCOM, and Supreme Court (as well as posts throughout the Federal bureaucracy and government) are now STACKED with CHENEY SLEEPER-CELLS.

Whatcha gonna do about it, Democratic Congress?

Nothin'.

[Fridays Child]

38. Or-freaking-wellian.

[Postman]

40. I agree. We "Hope" these bastards are prosecuted for war crimes.

Because "hope" is all we have with deadbeat democrats like Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid.

[KoKo]

41. Cheney is TOO Evil for even HELL to take him! n/t

[vixengrl]

42. Yeah--hoping Bush would get impeached--

and Cheney too.

I've been awful hopeful. Hopeful that the GOP implodes over how damn dumb and bad every policy these two bozos have implemeted over the years descredits their party, and make conservatism itself look like a shady deal.

I've been hopeful that more Americans will recognize the value of their right to vote, and will take more care to vote out dumbasses like these. Many Democratic voters have been registered, and I find that a hopeful scenario.

I have been hopeful that the war would end, that someone would come in and take a serious accounting of our government, what we spend money on. The waste. Yes, I, a democrat, decry the waste. The war on terror waste. The waste of corporate welfare. The national security earmark bullshit (I think they think they can pass any old bill if they say they got some spending that says it's about security or defense. Blue Blankies for all the GOP thumb-suckers!)

I have been hopeful about how Bush has screwed his party so bad it can't walk straight. He's unpopular, and it should carry down-ticket just like 2006. I'm hopeful that many people will see through the naked lie that it's the GOP who are the realists on foreign policy--or for that matter, on anything else. And I hope the "tax cuts are super" and "deficits don't matter" loads get wiped off with a tissue and thrown in the rubbish bin.

World-wide, people hoped the US would come to its senses, that we'd get serious about the good we could be doing economically and in terms of doing what old TR once recommended--"Talking softly, but carrying a big stick." Bush blew it. Our mighty military apparently can't handle Iraq. And how would we handle any of the other PNAC b.s. that Cheney wants? The people are not pacified, and they never have accepted us as liberators. Why? Because of DUH! Who are we fighting? Who are we backing? Iraq against Iraqis. There is a homegrown insurgency that does not want us. They HOPE we leave. And they will outlast us whether we state a date for withdrawal or not--because *they live there*. To acknowledge this is neither "surrender" nor "cut and run". It is just acknowledging facts.

Cheney is too far gone to recognize that sometimes, all you need to do to lose is pick the wrong fight. And that hope is the refuge of people who cry for justice--that's why we hope. People have gotten mad about the economy, and the war, and the stupidity. So we will hope.

That's why.

[Hulk]

43. Yeah...to the corporate stock holders!!

You have to remember...DICK.....America is more than just the top 1%, ya dumbass!!!

[AnnieBW]

44. I think I just lost my dinner

Oh, yeah... how'd that Afghanistan thing go for the Russians, DICK?

:puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke:

[notadmblnd]

45. duh! Yeah, the whole world is more hopeful,

we're all hoping this administration will come to an end and the US will come to it's senses.

[Turbineguy]

46. A more hopeful world

In a way he's right of course. Thanks to them more people are hoping it will get better.

[tucsonlib]

47. Question is....

Could it be he really believes what he's spewing? Or is he just a shameless liar? Or both? Or neither? Or is he simply the personification of....ummmm...excuse me - I'll be right back.........:puke:

[shanti]

63. he's a shameless liar

got that right - a shameless lying sack of shit! :grr:

[Robeson]

48. History will show Cheney is the U.S. version of Hermann Goering...

...a pathetically greedy individual.

[rasputin1952]

49. Jesus! The great hope is that this idiot doesn't blow up the world!

cheney is delusional.

[eppur_se_muova]

50. Holy cow, the incinerator must be leaking fumes into DDDDDick's office!

Seriously, Gepetto, whatever it is you're breathing, bottle it and sell it.

[badgervan]

51. Always the Biggest Cowards.....

... who talk the toughest, while others do the actual fighting and dying. Lord, if You are up there, please make sure that the Big Dick and his chimp spend eternity in that special place which they both so richly deserve.

[benld74]

52. Pipe Dreams are under the bed, Dick!

[LaStrega]

53. OMFG

A more hopeful world? A more hopeful world?! Yeah, more hopeful we'll get a Democrat in the WH come '08.

"Cheney himself received five draft deferments to avoid service in the Vietnam war." But he's perfectly willing to send our fine men and women to yet another unjust invasion and occupation. :mad:

[Baby Snooks]

54. The face of evil

That is what you see when you look at Dick Cheney. The puppeteer behind the puppet of George W Bush who is Cheney's "mini-me" and the neo-cons "Boy from Brazil." They will both burn in hell for eternity.

Along with those who support this evil administration and the two before it. They along with Madeline Albright will find that it was not worth it. They. Quite a few Democrats. Particularly Nancy Pelosi.

Millions of lives for billions of barrels. The agenda of the oligarchists. The neo-cons. The Republicrats.

[dogfacedboy]

55. Hey Cheney! Go fuck yourself, you piece of trash! n/t

[diane in sf]

56. Only because the neocons actions were revealed by his stupidity, making it very

clear we all needed to head in a new direction asap. Bush, Cheney andfriends have been so crude in their abuse of power that there has been no possible concealment unlike in Reagan and H.W. Bush's administrations.

[Triana]

57. Cheney's brain has been without oxygen for far too long and George doesn't have one. n/t

[BobTheSubgenius]

58. Good idea.

Remind everyone what a great time the USSR had in Afghanistan.

The "hopeful" part of that ludicrous quote is "I hope I survive this awful time intact."

[pnorman]

59. "To justify a US presence in the wartorn region, Cheney cited the Russian experience in Afghanistan"

n/t

pnorman

[samdogmom]

60. Clearly the man is STUPID!!!!...and very disturbed....!

I can't believe anyone thought he was smart--or at least smarter than Dubya!

Because his mental superiority "reputation" preceded him, he's been able to manipulate/run things in our country for nearly eight years. Good grief! What a debacle!

The guy is actually bat shit crazy! Yikes!

[sakabatou]

61. "History will also show that...

he cured cancer
he saved us from those bastard commies
he is Jesus Christ."

:puke:

[LVjinx]

62. History is already being written, and it says "Bush most hated president EVER."

[Zorra]

64. More hopeful for whom? Rats, cockroaches, buzzards, collection agencies, and morticians?

Certainly not most life on his planet.

[Capt. America]

65. Shrub, Darth Cheney, Rummy, Condi....

"When the history is written, it will be said that we were...liars, thieves, torturers, war criminals, war profiteers, and traitors"

[BlooInBloo]

66. He might be on to something. Hard to go anywhere but up from this point....

... Well, unless The Obliterator takes office.

(Where's Swamp Rat? We could use a Clinton as The Obliterator pic, modeled after Ahnold.)

[Connonym]

67. if by "more hopeful" you mean "can't get worse than this shit" Cheney's actually right nt

[nvme]

68. It is true

We are hopeful because bush can NEVER serve as president again. We are hopeful because our civil rights will be restored. We are hopeful because the next administration will have these criminals sent to the Hague.

[bitchkitty]

70. Ah, yes - and the hope will be when a tweeting bird

flies out of Cheney's ass. Where do they get this shit?

[4waterfalls]

71. arrest them both now

they are criminals..enough of their bile already.

[Stevepol]

72. Reality: History will show that Cheney created a 'totally insane world.'

[Tab]

73. How come the Vice President gets the good drugs?

I'm not seeing any of that...

[Imagevision]

75. Bush & Cheney, first and foremost are oilmen, Poppy Bush put the first off shore oil rig

together off Kuwait...Bush Jr. manages to use the entire military to secure oil fields, got admit it, they pulled it off.

[Bush_MUST_Go]

76. Right on track if your name is Osama bin Laden.
