Cheney On 4,000 Dead Americans: They Volunteered, * Has The Biggest Burden

[Me.]

“In an exclusive interview with ABC News, Vice President Dick Cheney was asked what the effect the grim milestone of at least 4,000 U.S. deaths over the five-year Iraq war might have on the nation.

Noting the burden placed on military families, the Vice President said the biggest burden is carried by President Bush, and reminded U.S. military in Iraq and Afghanistan volunteered for duty.: cont…

"The President carries the biggest burden, obviously," Cheney said, "He's the one who has to make the decision to commit young Americans but we are fortunate to have a group of men and women, the all-volunteer force, who voluntarily put on the uniform and go in harms way for the rest of us."cont…

1. Burden?

What 'burden'? He's safe. He sleeps well at night. None of his immediate family members are in mortal danger.

Cheney gets more dispicable with each passing day.

[proud2BlibKansan]

2. So?

Fuck you Cheney. Your opinion is less than meaningless.

[liberal N proud]

3. Cold cruel sob

[AndyA]

4. Laura Bush told us all that NO ONE suffers more than her and the pResident.

:eyes:

[Supersedeas]

21. suffers from what -- too much cake?

[w8liftinglady]

5. I can't formulate a reply that doesn't involve the word "FUCK".

may you and your minions rot in hell.

[demosincebirth]

6. The prez is a sociopath

[Me.]

8. Who's Worse He Or The Dick That's His Veep?

Or are they equal? I wonder if impeachment has a chance of jumping back on the table now? To my mind it's ;ike he's daring anyone to say or do anything. These egregious remarks are SO in the face of the American people.

[demosincebirth]

31. George is the sociopath. Cheney, is just a plain prick!

[magellan]

7. So? Isn't that burden what Bush** volunteered for?

:nopity:

[nytemare]

9. Seems he "volunteered" during Vietnam as well.

Volunteered to skip some 500 people on the Air Guard waiting list with a low test score, he voluntarily checked "no" on the question box for overseas service, and he voluntarily didn't show up for months of drill, or a flight physical after the government spent a crapload of money training him to fly.

[bdamomma]

10. Cheney is such a smug arrogant psychopath.

or maybe he should have said "so"


pushing that "all volunteered" quote around isn't he, damn that man, I hope someday I see this man pay for all his murderous crimes. He has total disdain for the American people.

[tblue37]

14. Did they volunteer to get involuntarily stop-lossed or sent back to the

war zone for innumerable tours, until they finally come home incapacitated or in a body bag?

[Breeze54]

11. All volunteered? And * has the BIGGEST burden?!

:wtf:

He is delusional and a frigging liar! :grr:

But what else is new? :shrug:

[melody]

12. They're all slaves on his plantation -- why does he care if they die?

Oh, we need to build a really bad prison for this bastard.

[gateley]

13. I heard a psychic predict

that Cheney wouldn't live through the rest of this term.

I hope she was wrong, and that he lives a long, painful, INCARCERATED life. And when we hear horror stories about how "tough" prison is on him, we can all chorus "So?".

[Ilsa]

16. "long, painful" -- "excruciating" is too good for him. I hope his

grandkids, all of them, get drafted. Dickhead and Bush* won't even go to a funeral, they're such chickenshits.

[left is right]

35. It just clicked for me

Cheney will fake his death, go into hiding in Paraguay. He will do this to avoid prison time after the Dems cleanse the judicial system

[FightingIrish]

15. A soulless pile of shit kept breathing by medical technology

What a waste of good microchips.

[smoogatz]

17. Amazing.

Way to minimize the genuine suffering of thousands of Americans, of which you are the direct cause. Way to be dismissive of those who mourn the dead whose blood is on your hands. Cheney is a psycho, not to mention a colossal gaping asshole.

[gordianot]

18. Yes, and Cheney is just following orders.

No outrage left unsaid, no lie too great, no denial not tried, no crime too small. In all modern history Cheney deserves special attention of what abuse is possible and allow the criminal to walk free.

[Rex]

19. Dick Cheney is a sick person.

Mentally ill, he is so unstable right now. He even looks sick in the head. I've noted over the years how much an insensitive prick George Bush Jr. is, well let me say that he is NOTHING compared to Dick Cheney. Dick is what George will be once he gets 'old'.

[gateley]

20. I think Rumsfeld and Cheney are absolutely soul-less. nt

[Initech]

22. What a soulless piece of shit.

[Me.]

25. What You Said!

[Vickers]

23. "Now watch this drive."

:eyes:

[Mountainman]

24. He is by far one of the most evil people living today. The bad karma he is making is

really piling up. He'll obviously come back in the next life as a cockroach or a fly on shit.

[Dudley_DUright]

26. I am just in awe at the level of narcissism

George "AWOL" Bush and Dick "Five Deferments" Cheney routinely display. :wow:

[Me.]

27. It's Hard Work

Didn't ya know?

[Oeditpus Rex]

28. They volunteered to defend their country against all enemies, foreign and domestic

That doesn't include the enemies of choice created by the Wregime.

They trusted you, Mr. Cheney — you and your cadre of criminals. They trusted that you were sending them to fight in the name of righteousness, in the name of Sept. 11, 2001.

They trusted you, and you stabbed them in the neck.

[spanone]

29. fuck him, i refuse to acknowledge his sorry ass existence

[trof]

30. 'Volunteer army' is best thing 'they' ever did.

RIGHT!
They can't complain, like draftees did during the Viet Nam 'War'.
Shit, THEY VOLUNTEERED!

We can do anything we want to, send 'em anywhere we want to, 'cause THEY VOLUNTEERED!

Never mind IVAW.
Commie bastards.
THEY VOLUNTEERED!

WE can fuck 'em up any way we want to.
THEY VOLUNTEERED!
:grr:

[The Gunslinger]

32. Wow, thats just insane..

How come I don't hear about it in the liberal media. Bush will carry a burden when he carries a gun over there, or sends one of his daughters.

[gulliver]

33. I can't recall seeing any pictures of Bush looking burdened.

I've seen peeved, preening, towel-snapping frat boy, dunce, etc., but I don't think I have ever seen "burdened."

[Me.]

36. You Sure?

I saw him cutting brush once and I could swear he had a drop of sweat.

[avenger64]

34. Damn, I'd love to see him and Rumsfeld extradited.

Let them face the Hague for their crimes. Let's see who says so? then.
