Attention! Cheney aide clearing path to bomb Iran
While Dems gave way for the funding the Iraq war without a timetable Cheney apparently is pushing for something different:

A report published today reveals a growing game of tug-of-war between President Bush and his No. 2 regarding the US approach towards Iran.

Vice President Dick Cheney believes the US should not be pursuing a diplomatic path with Iran, and a senior aide to the vice president has been meeting with national security think tanks and consultants in Washington to "help establish the policy and political pathway to bombing Iran," Steve Clemons reported Thursday on his blog, The Washington Note.

Cheney is the person in the Bush administration who most desires a "hot conflict" with Iran and believes the administrations pursuit of diplomacy, led by Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, is a mistake, Clemons reports.

The Cheney aide, who has met with policy hands of the American Enterprise Institute along with other groups, "has stated to several Washington insiders that Cheney is planning to deploy an 'end run strategy' around the President if he and his team lose the policy argument," according to Clemons.

1. and just who do we think will stop Cheney?
the jr. auxillary wing of the GOPers, (aka the Democratic party)?

you know - my 10 and 12 yrs old nieces are held more accountable for their school grades (aka no-child-left-behind) than this freaking government is being held accountable.

3. So now you know for sure who has always been running the
show at the white house.What an evil dangerous bastard he is and he must be stopped.Why dont the dems get it????
A nuclear war with Iran will be the beginning of the end for all of us.
Cheney can hide in his bunker so we can only hope his heart gives out before he can pull this off!!!!!

7. So 200,000 troops in Iraq
won't win, but 17,000 in Iran will?

Where the hell are they going to get the soldiers to carry on all 3 wars?

11. We will simply bomb them day and night with warplanes and heavy bombers instead of using troops.
Edited on Fri May-25-07 06:25 AM by Selatius
We couldn't occupy them without several million men, but we could drop many bombs and missiles on them from afar.

10. Dick Cheney has more loyalists in the White House than Bush, I think.
When push comes to shove, I think Cheney will be "the decider."
