Chickenhawk Dick "Other Priorities" Cheney to lay wreath in Arlington

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

Americans are celebrating Veterans Day, a national holiday honoring all men and women who have served in the U.S. military.

The main annual event marking the day takes place at Arlington National Cemetery just outside Washington. Vice President Dick Cheney will participate in a wreath laying ceremony at the cemetery's Tomb of the Unknowns.

President Bush will honor veterans at an event Friday in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania 350 kilometers north of Washington where he will also talk about the war on terror.

Veteran's Day was first celebrated in the United States in 1919 as Armistice Day, honoring those who served in the first World War.

1. My God.

This is simply a vile affront to the memory of every veteran, living or dead, who served in our Armed Forces.

This administration. I don't know what to say.

hitler laying wreaths on the unmarked mass graves of all the murdered Jews. Dastardly!

10. This Criminal Chickenhawk Has No Shame

He Sent Them To Lose Limb and/or Die In An Unnecessary War That Was Not A Last Resort Against One Of The Poorest Country In The World In Means Of Military That NEVER Attacked Any Country In The West And That Never Was A Threat To Their Existence, And Based His War Of Aggression On Pure Fabricated Lies, Smears And Distortions. Plus:

That Ultimate Hypocrit Traitor With An Insatiable Greed Condones Torture!

SHAME ON THAT COWARD TRAITOR'S BLOODIED HANDS!

11. would that this turns into a George Romero moment

and the skeletal remains of the vets buried there pull themselves out of the their graves in outrage and drag the screaming Dick Cheney below ground with them under the stunned glaze of the onlookers.

never happen but a man can dream can't one?

[Vickers]

12. He's a fucking coward.

A treasonous coward.

14. Bush and Cheney should NEVER disgrace Arlington or the Viet Nam Memorial

with their presence. They are the scum of the earth.

17. My daughter is there

with her school, at the ceremony.

I hope she's not scared! He is truly frightening.

And in all seriousness, it's egregious that he should be at a ceremony honoring the war dead.
