US would invade Iraq again if necessary: Cheney
- -



Washington: US Vice President Dick Cheney, one of the hardliners backing last year's Iraq war, has insisted that the United States was right to invade Iraq and would do it again if necessary.

Cheney also told Fox News Channel he was sure Iraq had links to al-Qaeda and that the United States would not give up the hunt for weapons of mass destruction. Despite criticism of the justification for the invasion in March 2003 and the growing toll from the occupation, Cheney said: "If we had to do it all over again today, we'd do it, absolutely."

The vice president was questioned about the failure to find the chemical and biological weapons programmes under Saddam Hussein that were used to justify the invasion. He said US investigators are finding "items from stockpiles that were never reported, that were never accounted for.

Some of it predates the Gulf War. So there's no doubt in my mind we'll find some of that stuff. "Now, exactly how much that's brand new or recent, that's hard to say. It's still a very big country, there's still a lot of work to be done in terms of looking for it." In a jab at critics, Cheney said: "It's as though people are going back, trying to scrub Saddam clean here now, 'this is really just a poor, misunderstood fellow there in the Middle East'."

[Gato Moteado]

2. Cheney: US would invade Iraq again if necessary...

...for halliburton to further increase its profits.

[Gman]

3. Cheney is a bonafide, live in the wild pathological liar

at this point, if Cheney is going to continue to insist there are WMD's in Iraq yet to be found, he must be a pathological liar.

7. Yep , amazing

The indication of insanity , repeat the same action that results in a damaging outcome.
Got to give Dicky some credit...staying on message , no matter how foolish and stupid he appears.

4. This should be enough to show most rational people just how...

...dangerous the NeoCons really are.

Once we remove them from the center of government in November, we've got to make sure they never get remotely close again.

[Gato Moteado]

5. rational people already know it.

but you're right....there are probably a lot of rational people that don't vote....hopefully this will get them to the polls. it's imperative that we sweep the human garbage out of power this november.

6. Repugnant Award

I just can't make up my mind which member of the BushCult should get the top award.

[Endangered Specie]

8. In other words, well be bombing the shit outta them again...

if that 'democratic' government doesnt send oil by the cargo-ship-load

[keithyboy]

9. What country will invade the US and free us from this regime?

I wish there was one out there that could.

[Jack Rabbit]

10. Would Cheney invade Iraq again if not necessary?

That's the more important question.

[mike1963]

11. Bingo

You got it.
:grr:

[enough]

14. Exactly, Jack R.

"If we had to do it again, we would."

Says nothing at all. What if we DIDN'T have to do it, again -- would we NOT do it? That would be the best idea, certainly, for all concerned.

12. this is the delusion of lunatics

insist that a bad action was right and refuse to understand that a repeat will be just as bad if not worse.

Cheney is playing the corporate CEO game.

He thinks that by asserting with an assertive voice, blatant lies, he will be respected by sycophants who dare not disagree. WEll at least he will be agreed with by those who want to keep their jobs.

This is how corporations are run and this is how a delusional and powerful CEO would behave. There is no one who knows any better than the CEO, who is Lord, besides he is the boss anyhow.


Cheney has NEVER cared or understood this country, it's history, nor has he ever respected it's history. Cheney only understands how to make Cheney retain power and make more money. He eats money, and also evacuates money.

13. Hey...

...based on the bounce in the polls the last time they invaded Iraq, it might be the only thing that can save this administration's ass.

And summer is a popular time -- Spiderman, Harry Potter, etc. -- for sequels.

[cliss]

15. What the hell does he mean?

I don't understand these statements. Take a look: "items from stockpiles that were never reported..." He's got to be kidding, right? The UN had inspectors in that country for a long time. They kept tabs on anything that came & went. Is Big Dick telling me they had weapons that no one knew about? Then how does he know?

#2: "trying to scrub Saddam clean here now, this is really just a poor, misunderstood fellow there in the ME". What does he mean here, trying to scrub him clean? Who's scrubbing? misunderstood?

There is no limit to this guy's sliminess. I heard him on the Randi Rhodes show on Friday (when he admitted to saying 'go Fuck Yourself'). This was the first time I'd ever heard his voice, and I instantly regretted it.

His voice is low, monotone, and really sinister.

16. I think it means that when their newly installed puppet

PM, former Hussain henchman starts trying to obtain nukes that we'll start gropping the bombs on them again.

[struggle4progress]

17. Perhaps your barber will bleed you, too, if necessary. eom

[hatrack]

18. Hey Dick!

GO FUCK YOURSELF!!!

I don't suppose I need to say too much more . . .

[truthisfreedom]

19. we know you'd do it again. you're a criminal. go F yourself, dick.

[pinniped]

20. The A$$SHOLE won't be invading $hit when its behind bars for life.

And if there's any justice in the world that's where these repig monsters will be.

[BattyDem]

21. Why? Because it turned out so well the first time?

:grr:

[BiggJawn]

22. Hey, TinMan, Go F*** Yourself

Ahhhhh...That felt GOOD! I'll say it again, Go Fuck Yourself, Dickless Wonder!

Howdy, Agent Mike!
