So?
That's your Veep, Ladies and Gentlemen. Be proud to be an American today as it's never been more evident that Cheney and Co. think you're nothing more than a slave or cannon fodder.

on a side note....

Most people opposed the declaration of independance as well. Thats probally why we are not a nation governed by the masses, but by elected officials. That being said, the officials are wrong sometimes too and so we have to elect someone else....

It seems to be a disease that infects our officials into believing that just because they won an election that it somehow means they are competent lawmaker.

Blows my mind! I wonder if his response would be the same to the young Americans dead because of his actions. Probably would be, just not in front of the press. Blows my ****ing mind!

Too much of a sensitive topic it appears....Unless it gives a guy an advantage on his NCAA bracket it looks like no one cares. I'm not suggesting an effing riot here but comments like these are unforgivable by our VP and warrant a discussion.

She didn't ask a question, she only stated a fact. I never though Cheney was a smart one so I think he was confused. He realized what an idiot he sounded like though, and followed up with his badly-placed comments about previous presidents.

That said, I agree with what he was trying to get across: no war would have ever been won if we stopped it everyone someone disagreed. Under 4,000 troops in over five years is very good for a war. All he was saying is obviously war isn't popular, and obviously people wont agree with war, so someone has to be the bad guy and push through to obtain victory.

"Two-thirds of Americans say it was not worth fighting."

I concur....So!

She had already said it once and got a response other than "So" but I guess that wasn't the response she wanted.

How's this Martha

Cheney "excuse me Martha, can we wait a sec. I have to put in a call to Iraq and let them know that 2/3 of the folks polled by ABC say Iraq was not worth fighting and get everyone out now....Ok where were we Martha"

I think he was just toying with good ole Martha and he was a bit miffed that she had to state the results of the poll twice cause she didn't get the response she wanted the first time.

I mean she starts the interview badgering him about Obama's speech and won't take no for an answer on that either.
