Cheney joins GOP criticism of Democrats

MARY CLARE JALONICK
Associated Press

WASHINGTON - Vice President Dick Cheney added his voice on Wednesday to the chorus of Republican criticism of Democrats who have accused the Bush administration of manipulating intelligence on Iraq, calling it "one of the most dishonest and reprehensible charges ever aired in this city."

"Some of the most irresponsible comments have, of course, come from politicians who actually voted in favor of authorizing force against Saddam Hussein," Cheney said in remarks prepared for a GOP fundraiser.

... "What we're hearing now is some politicians contradicting their own statements and making a play for political advantage in the middle of a war," Cheney said in remarks prepared for a speech at the Frontiers of Freedom Institute's 2005 Ronald Reagan gala.

"The saddest part is that our people in uniform have been subjected to these cynical and pernicious falsehoods day in and day out," he said.

17. so that means no EDV love for the Dick?
What a shit .... he gives phony intel to the congress and now has
the unmitagated gall to bring up their votes?

Besides 2 things:

1. War was supposed to be the last option
2. So what were the maps of Iraqi oil fields doing
on his desk in 01 as he was meeting w/ all those oil
execs?

10. Stop it already!
Come on, the argument that we "voted in favor of authorizing force again Saddam" has no substance. We are NOT criticizing the American troops. We just don't like watching our own people die over false claims that were presented to us. We are NOT God and we didn't know this administration was this corrupted. Please spare us the balogny! :mad:

finish Phase 2 of the investigation. Prove us wrong Cheney but don't call us irresponsible. The saddest part is that you Cheney won't let the people in uniform know the truth. The truth will come out because people like us want to know the truth.

22. The most despicable thing about these people
is how they use the military to hide behind.

I want Cheney to explain why he had so many better things to do when 'our people in uniform' were fighting in another war he supported, but so disrespected those in uniform, one of whom went in his place, he dodged the draft, using every excuse he could find to avoid supporting those who went there.

How he has the gall to say anything at all about the military, men and women he cares nothing about, is beyond me.

I don't think anyone needs to worry about anything he says. Jack the Ripper probably has more positive poll numbers than Cheney does these days. Let him keep talking. I remember his lies about 'terror connections' and 'mushroom clouds' all too well, as do the American people, whose intelligence he and his criminal co-horts have so under-estimated for so long.

He is shameless to use the military as a political prop like this.
In Canada, we call this treason.

Oh, and yes, I would have much prefered President Kerry right now.
Bush is such a Pain in the back end. It's impossible to deal with him. He's like a little kid who thinks he's the king. :eyes:

48. yep
Nobody ever gets any respect for past support of Repuglicans. First they sucker you, then they use you, then they step on your neck if you object. But you're supposed to put up and shut up. It's a classic sado-masochist relationship. So now Darth Cheney comes forth to remind us what the rules of the game are. But the dawn is breaking and soon the undead will be crawling back to the crypt.

35. My vote for most "dishonest and reprehensible" is outing a covert
CIA agent for political revenge and then lying about it. Chew on that, Dick Cheney.

This guy has a set of brass ones to make these comments. Really. This is so over the top its not even funny.

"The saddest part is that our people in uniform have been subjected to these cynical and pernicious falsehoods day in and day out," he said.

NO!!! The "saddest part" is that "our people in uniform" have rat bastards like Cheney and Bush they have to answer to. Hey you treasonous PRICKS...STFU and get "our people in uniform" some real equipment (flack vests, ammo, etc.)so they can continue to fight this IMMORAL AND ILLEGAL frickin' war! Greedy cash whores would throw their entire families under a bus to make a few greenbacks. Sickening!:puke:

Do I want to hear "life without the possibility of parole?" or do I want to hear "Blindfold and cigarette, Mr. Cheney?"

I'm against the death penalty but I'm still leaning toward the latter.

The saddest part is that more than 2,000 of our brave men and women have been blown to smithereens because of your enormous, warped, lying ego.

"The saddest part is that our people in uniform have been subjected to these cynical and pernicious falsehoods day in and day out," he said.

55. Everything Cheney has said about Iraq has been wrong, or a flat out lie.
His credibility is less than zero. What's interesting, though, is the extent to which these attacks on those who tell the truth about Iraq smack of desperation--that's a GOOD thing, IMO.
