Why does Dick Cheney hate America? Why does Cheney prefer a Soviet style government where freedom of speech is banned? Armed with his classic finger-wag and arrogance, Cheney, the man who has lied about key facts related to entering the war in Iraq, is now telling America that they love bin Laden and al Qaida.
He also must have missed the reports from Iraq that say nothing of a pitched battle with al Qaida as we might have seen in WWI or WWII. Catching up on recent world history must be difficult. If Cheney can't even grasp the most simple reality that fighting al Qaida is not a "stand up fight" then we are completely screwed. How is the US supposed to fight an enemy when the VP can't comprehend what kind of war is being fought? Maybe Cheney can just ask al Qaida to change their style of fighting so the US forces can wipe them out. Is that what he's suggesting?
"They can't beat us in a stand-up fight -- they never have -- but they're absolutely convinced they can break our will, [that] the American people don't have the stomach for the fight," Cheney said on NBC's "Meet the Press."Cheney also continued with his fantasy about Saddam and al Qaida even though the GOP Senate report proves that the assertion is a lie. In the face of the truth, we can always count on Cheney to stay the course, no matter how many facts get in the way. Fortunately, the American public sees things differently.
The vice president said U.S. allies in Afghanistan and Iraq "have doubts" the United States will finish the job there. "And those doubts are encouraged, obviously, when they see the kind of debate that we've had in the United States," he said. "Suggestions, for example, that we should withdraw U.S. forces from Iraq simply feed into that whole notion, validates the strategy of the terrorists."
