“Yankee Go Home!”
Feb. 21, 2007 - Dick Cheney has seen better days. In Washington, a jury is deciding the fate of his former chief of staff, after hearing extensive testimony about how the vice president and his team worked in the run-up to the Iraq war—surely not the sort of thing the secretive Cheney enjoys.

In Britain, America's staunchest ally in the Iraq war, Prime Minister Tony Blair announced plans to begin bringing British troops home—even as the Bush administration is trying to persuade the American public of the wisdom of sending more U.S. troops in.

And as Cheney traveled to Asia, on a trip aimed at shoring up support among allies considered crucial to U.S. interests around the world, his reception was, well, not all that warm. In the days before his arrival, Japan's defense minister, Fumio Kyuma, branded the Iraq war a “mistake.” Touching down in Tokyo on Tuesday afternoon, Cheney was greeted with the sight of a large truck cruising the blocks surrounding the U.S. Embassy blaring a message through a loudspeaker: “Yankee Go Home!”
