CHENEY vs THE TRUTH

Once again, the Bush administration has unleashed it's most vicious attack dog, Dick Cheney, against truth, and common sense. This time, he's going after Harry Reid, for comments supposedly made about the administrations current war strategy. Reid is being quoted as saying "the war is lost", by some in the press, and by the neocons who are responsible for the mess in Iraq. First of all, this comment has been taken out of context. The first part of that statement was, "as long as we follow the presidents path in Iraq... the war is lost". Of course, Cheney and his lapdogs in the media have cleverly decided that the American public doesn't need to hear that part of the statement. It doesn't fit into their attack and smear agenda. Their strategy to hold onto the waning support for this utter failure in Iraq has always been to drag out the tired old phrase, 'undermining the troops', whenever anyone challenges them. This attitude is what is really harming our troops, and our country. Bush and Cheney would rather send more soldiers to their possible slaughter, rather than admit that their so called plan isn't working. Everything Cheney has said about this war has been wrong. He told us that Al Qaeda had a definite connection with Saddam, which was false, He claimed Saddam had amassed nuclear weapons, again false. Our soldiers were not greeted as liberators, and the insurgency was not in it's last throes, as Cheney told us 3 years ago. Not to mention, how our troops were sent into Iraq without proper armour, no exit strategy and woefully undermanned. Yet anyone who mentions any of that is accused of 'undermining our troops'. Even the generals charged with fighting the war were either dismissed, or reassigned when they complained about the way this war was being prosecuted. Bush and Cheney have refused to listen to anyone who doesn't march in lockstep with their neocon agenda, and look at where that has gotten us. Thank God for Harry Reid, John Murtha, John Kerry and others who are willing to stand up to this bunch of liars in the hopes of stopping more American blood from being spilled for nothing.
