Cheney: The Iraqis Have Stood Up

President Bush’s mantra has been that when they stand up, we stand down.

Cheney says the Iraqis have stood up

– but he criticizes Senate Democrats who call for us to stand down.

Cheney:They've stood up a brand new government under a new constitution for the first time ever.
We've got a quarter of a million Iraqis now in uniform, equipped, trained, in the fight.

1. -Oh, no! We can't let down the Coalition!

"And if Jack Murtha is successful in persuading the country that somehow we should withdraw now from Iraq, then you have to ask what happens to all of those people who've signed up with the United States, who are on our side in this fight against the radical extremist Islamic types of bin Laden and al Qaeda."

I see Darth Vader keeps linking 911 and Iraq again! "types" - huh?
