    Cheney's September, 2003 comment is shameful.

    "When you think about what we've accomplished in terms of ... launching an attack into Iraq, destroying the Iraqi armed forces, taking down the government of Iraq, getting rid of Saddam Hussein, capturing 42 out of the 55 top leaders, and beginning what I think has been fairly significant success in terms of putting Iraq back together again, the price that we've had to pay is not out of line, and certainly wouldn't lead me to suggest or think that the strategy is flawed or needs to be changed." September 14, 2003

      That is not just shameful, it is despicable.

      Cheney is evil - period.

      I liek this story tehranny.

      It really points out to a major disconnect between this 'ideeologically driven' administration .. and .. reality.

      And for us Christian Conservatives ... weare okay with that.

      We DONT WANT America to know or understand how truly morally vacant this administration is. That would reflect badly on us. After all, we voted for GW by liek 96% ... AND STILL SUPPORT HIM!

      What you seem to be missin is that ... this administration says stuff all the tiem ... that they really dont believe. Its a central ... DEFINING aspect of this administration.

      The MAIN goal of this administration has been ... from DAY ONE ... has been to keep the man BEHIND the curtain hidden ... to shield America from the hurtful result this ideeologically driven administration. "

      And they have submitted to media ... a stream of comments with no connection to reality ...

      This is by design.

        I think the most concise assessment of this policy came from us Conservatives ARCH-ENEMY ... Jon Stewart of THE DAILY SHOW.

        In an interview with the only libural in media ... Bill Moyers ... he encapsulated the essence of the Bush Administrations policy for goverment leadership.

        Its a fascinatin interview ...

        However, as a Christian Cosnervative, it burns me that he so easily saw through the essence of the Rove/Bush paradigm. You libbies are so smaht with your brains and intellegence..

        Anyway ... heres the interview.

        http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=coQ8NumwFvw

        From the interview ...

        "They would rather us believe that they are wildly incompetent and inarticulate than anything about how they operate."

        This is so true.

        But liek we Christian Conservatives say ... whaddya gointa do bout it? We outmanuevered Gore with sleight of hand. We Swift Boated Kerry. And now, we succeeded in gettin media go COMPLETELY focus on Rev Wright instead of Obama.

        We rule propaganda!

        Nice to see some of the lies put together in one place for easy viewing. Maybe the Bush administration should just close its eyes and click the heels of its ruby slippers.

          Based upon all of your similar sounding posts, let me posit a guess, let me name a group that you're too cowardly to name yourself, allow me to connect the dots that you primitively and crudely drew like zits on a ninth grader's face....The JEWS, right? Isn't that the "Tribe" that you blame?

          At least have the courage to state your ideas in a forthright manner rather than leaving us readers guessing.

            So it's the evangelicals that would like to wipe the Persians from the earth?

              Let's clear a few points here. The US media is owned by the Australian. He isn't jewish. GWB and Dicko Cheney are prime examples of American Capitalism, they will do anything for money except serve their country when called to the colours.

              Most of the US government is of the same, but they forget that it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. Because of their actions this really means that they are at heart atheists! Furthermore Persians [Iranians] are not semitic. Only Arabs and Jews are. Yes I agree with you that "Bush and Cheney have ruined a perfectly good country" But they were voted into power and shafted you in the process.

                "mission accomplished" will forever be known as the ironic, iconic catchphrase that encapsulates the bush administration's failed and misguided endeavors during his time in office.

                when bush dies, we already know what to put on his gravestone.

                then, finally, the phrase will be true.
