EXCLUSIVE: Cheney fears Iraq withdrawal will 'waste' U.S. sacrifices
Richard Tomkins and Joseph Weber (Contact)

Former Vice President Dick Cheney on Monday said he is concerned about U.S. forces withdrawing from Iraqi cities within 24 hours.

Mr. Cheney told The Washington Times' America's Morning News radio show that he is a strong believer in Gen. Ray Odierno, commander of U.S. forces in Iraq, and that the general is doing what needs to be done.

"But what he says concerns me: That there is still a continuing problem. One might speculate that insurgents are waiting as soon as they get an opportunity to launch more attacks.

"I hope Iraqis can deal with it. At some point they have to stand on their own. But I would not want to see the U.S. waste all the tremendous sacrifice that has gotten us to this point."

1. You'd think with all these celebs dying, we could have one that needs to go...

C'mon, Dick. Just think of all the tributes on TV, the weepy politicians saying how much they liked you... do it Dick.

[predfan]

2. he said, as his five deferment ass shopped his $2M book deal.

[Peacetrain]

3. Oh Geez, here he comes again...NT

[patrice]

4. One figures out what is right and then one does it, not for a reward/result, but because it IS right

as best as you have been able to identify it.

If the result/reward supercedes ***ALL*** else, the process is warped by that; that which is right is obscured by that which "succeeds" and ultimately even the result/reward is lost too, because the ends DO NOT justify the means.

5. A long line of cows, waiting to enter the slaughter house. One cow says to another,

"We must carry on, or all those cows that have gone before us will have sacrificed for nothing!"


I say we sacrifice Cheney the dick.

[zbdent]

17. I say we let him parachute over Iraq ...

and, after the plane makes the U-turn, we toss out the parachute we forgot to strap onto him ...

[Canuckistanian]

6. Dick & his friends are heavily invested in defence companies

No Iraq war, no profits, no dividends for Dickie.

[northernlights]

7. dear dickhead,

all that has been done to Iraq *is*, by definition, a total and reprehensible waste of lives and resources. Sacrificing more lives and more resources will, by definition, be wasting more lives and resources.

Not kindly crawl back into your sewer, eat some shit and die. And whatever else you do, will you please, please, PLEASE STFU! :grr:

[rocktivity]

8. No, Dick, what it will do is waste YOUR sacrifice of the U.S!

:eyes:

[Clio the Leo]

9. Save us Dick! Save us!!!

I'm going to go hide under my bed until he tells me a GOP VP is once again in control of the Congress and it's safe to come out.

[opihimoimoi]

10. The Bully VP has turned into an "Ankle Biter....." Yappin all the Time.."

In times of old...this mans yapping would result in his tongue being cut off....Country First...period....support the Leader....

And another item....The Bully and his corrosive tongue is killing the GOP Party....there is no one to tell Dick to STFU....damage continues ....GOP report card is grim

[Jennicut]

11. Can Dick shit his hole already? Seriously, dude you are so not the VP anymore

Or should I say President as that was what he really was all along. Get over it already.

[high density]

12. Cheney can personally spend his own life and $$$$$$$$$$$ over in Iraq if he wants to

We cannot support the Iraq war indefinitely out of concern for something that may or may not come to pass.

[pipi_k]

13. Manhole cover?

He's not even fit to live in a sewer. It's a wonder the rats let him stay...

[beachmom]

14. Let's be clear: plenty of Republicans, including McCain, backed Obama's Iraq plan this winter.

That needs to be the talking point. Look, Dick Cheney's "message" worked on torture and Guantanamo (check the polls). We need to make sure he fails on this one.

[havocmom]

15. The dick wants no survivors to tell the tale of this pointless war for dick's profit.

No survivors to help investigators looking to show the dick's agenda of war crimes and profiteering.

No survivors. That is what dick wants for the troops. All sacrificed for the dick.

[ErinBerin84]

16. first

yes, as we know, this is bullshit. But what an evil message that Dick saying this SENDS the troops the message "oh, it's all been in vain". I mean, HE is the only one sending that message. Though I doubt anyone listens to him anymore.

[GivePeaceAchance]

18. The power went to Cheney's head far more than Bush's. He can't let go or show any grace to a ...

successor. It shows no class that he can't even allow Barack the opportunity of carving his own path before criticism.

[Zynx]

19. But according to DU Obama isn't doing enough to disengage our forces.

Isn't the world a funny place?

[Cha]

23. Not so much when you

have to read bullshit all the time(of course, not you)..I just need to start hiding more threads since they're allowed to stand.

[moondust]

20. You mean sacrificing blood for oil, Mr. Halliburton?

As for the "continuing problem": It's a thousand-year-old conflict and if you knew how to solve it you *PROBABLY* would have done so a long time ago.

It's time to sacrifice your terrible ideas for the good of the country, Dicker.

[Life Long Dem]

21. Sure he is full of it, but so isn't the one who keeps asking Cheney for an opinion.

[Cha]

22. "Iraqis Rejoice as U.S. troops leave Baghdad"!

dick just keeps on digging a bigger hole for himself .. in which he'll never climb out.

[Born_A_Truman]

24. WTF would Cheney know about sacrifice?

Haven't you and your buddies made enough money on this war yet, you creep?

[Flabbergasted]

25. So obviously more people must die to validate the sacrifice of others. We are such a sadistic

country.

[agentS]

26. so what's the plan instead, Darth Cheney????

Put a US soldier on every city block??

[Lord Helmet]

27. Closing down the war is making Darth sad.

[midnight]

28. Why does US have to sacrifice anymore?

[jenmito]

29. He DOES realize this plan was agreed to under HIS admin., doesn't he? If so, this is

proof that they would not have withdrawn troops from the cities as was planned. It was just a stalling tactic.
