http://www.americanchronicle.com/articles/viewArticle.asp?articleID=25433<snip>Needless to say, it was not a list of outstanding successes. In fact, after looking at it, it was more of a tribute to how NOT to run a government. Now Dick Cheney, the US VP, with his 9% approval rating, has decided to add to this track record by attacking the Senate majority leader, Harry Reid. The Vice President is doing his name-calling best to besmirch a Senator for attempting to follow through on what the public voted on in the national election last November. That being, that the people want a different direction in Iraq and that the “troops should be brought home ASAP”. Both the president and the vice president have made it clear that they “don’t care what the people voted for or what the military says, we know better and we’re doing it our way!”
• Before the War in Iraq started, in 2002, Mr. Cheney announced; “Saddam has resumed his efforts to acquire nuclear weapon.” Also, “Saddam is once again building and stocking more WMD’s in Iraq.” These of course have both been proven wrong.
• Also before the war, Mr. Cheney stated; “The American troops will be greeted in Iraq as liberators.” Also, not true.
• Two years ago Mr. Cheney said; “The insurgency is in its last throes.” I won’t even make a comment on this one.
• Just last month, Mr. Cheney said; “Progress is being made in Iraq.” Unfortunately, this is also incorrect and to prove it we now have 320 troops killed (to date) since the “Troop Surge” began in Iraq.
• This month, Mr. Cheney said “The US troops can win in Iraq.” This was being said while the head of the military in Iraq, US General Petraeus said; “We cannot win militarily in Iraq.”
