Cleland to Cheney: “Where the hell were you in the Vietnam War?”
By: SilentPatriot on Monday, March 12th, 2007 at 3:26 PM - PDT



Speaking before the 2007 AIPAC Policy Conference earlier today, Vice President Cheney trotted out the same old talking point about how any sort of timetable will just cause the "enemy" to "wait us out." When asked for his response to this, former Senator (and war hero) Max Cleland had some tough words for the draft-dodging and warmongering Veep.


"Where the hell were you in the Vietnam War? If you had gone to Vietnam like the rest of us, maybe you would have learned something about war. You can't keep troops on the ground forever. You gotta have a mission. You gotta have a purpose."

You can't keep sending 'em back and back and back with no mission and no purpose. As a matter of fact, the real enemy is Al Qaeda, it's Al Qaeda stupid, it's not in Iraq.

Watch it here:

6. Thanks be to Max Cleland for putting old Lizard Brain in his place.

Cheney, a war profiteer, has no call to speak on this subject ever again, if he ever did in the first place.

And hurray for Max Cleland, one of the true voices out there.

12. Very good smack down of Cheney. Only way it

could have been any better would have been for Cleland to admit that his question was rhetorical because he already knew the answer. Cheney was too busy applying for his 5 deferments - and, as Darth famously stated, he had "other priorities."

16. The Mighty Max!!!

Max Cleland speaks the truth and he speaks it well!

Cheney is pathetic and is a bona-fide liar, but a very bad one. He needs to read his tired and discredited distortions from prepared notes, delivered without an ounce of conviction. Meaning he obviously doesn't buy his own lies.

Thanks Max, for setting the record straight on the onslaught of Chickenhawk shit coming out of this administration!
