"If you look at what the dictionary says about throes, it can still be a violent period, the throes of a revolution," he said. "The point would be that the conflict will be intense, but it's intense because the terrorists understand that if we're successful at accomplishing our objective -- standing up a democracy in Iraq -- that that's a huge defeat for them.
"We will succeed in Iraq, just like we did in Afghanistan.[Huh? Did we? That too seems to have plenty of political and violent problems, not to mention the increasing drugs proplem.] We will stand up a new government under an Iraqi-drafted constitution. We will defeat that insurgency, and, in fact, it will be an enormous success story."
And on Gitmo, brace yourself for this because it's a new classic. The GOP obviously thinks that people are going to buy into the "pampered prisoner" stories, with images of oven friend chicken and tropical beaches.
"They're living in the tropics. They're well fed. They've got everything they could possibly want," the vice president said.
Once again trying to also raise the comparisons to WWII, Cheney is now saying that the insurgency is much like the Battle of the Bulge or Battle of Okinawa. Hmm, slight hiccup here Mr Cheney because
neither battle lasted more than two months. I know that you skipped out on your military service but you can still read a book.
