WASHINGTON, D.C. (AP) -- Lynne Cheney had a history lesson for elementary school children Tuesday, likening this week's parliamentary elections in Iraq to America's own early struggle for democracy. "Two hundred and seventeen years ago, we held our first vote under our Constitution," Vice President Dick Cheney's wife said. "We started then on the path the Iraqis are walking now."

Mrs. Cheney was the latest Bush administration figure sent to marshal support for the United States' Iraq policy. She was speaking to elementary school children at two Washington-area military installations -- the Marine Corps Base in Quantico, Virginia, and at Fort Belvoir, Virginia.

Cheney said it was important to talk to school children about Thursday's elections, in which Iraqis are electing a 275-member National Assembly, which will legislate in the coming four years and choose the first fully constitutional government in Iraq since the overthrow of Saddam Hussein in the U.S.-led war which started in early 2003.

The elections also pave the way for amendments to Iraq's new constitution. To win Sunni Arab support for the constitution, the Sunnis were promised they could propose amendments to it during the first four months of the new parliament's tenure. Cheney said that was "a very important historical parallel" with America's early democratic struggle. "We did much the same thing in terms of our Constitution," Cheney said in an interview on CNN. "Many were reluctant to ratify (it) until they were told there would be amendments. ... So there are indeed many parallels and I look forward to talking with kids about it."

Last year my mother gave my children her book, I told me mother that in no way would I allow my children o read her crap and returned the book.

Oh.
They must have gotten the OTHER Lynne Cheney book.

Not this one:

If I had kids I wouldn't let them read that crap either. I recommend Howard Zinn's book.

I expect she'll melt should water get on her. Shame on her. I guess I'm really tired of people with no spirit for goodness. Oh yeah I think she's a Dork too.x(

They probably invite elementary school children to their gingerbread house, then bake 'em for dinner.

Oh...well, course' there is communist China today...

all about struggles for democracy.

hey Dick Cheney! Go fuck yourself.
let Lynne write about it!

... since Bush is using it, as well (and in no more sophisticated fashion that Cheney and others).

What this does is not only rewrite recent history, but perverts our own history, too. I hope these kids' teachers set those kids straight on the way things are, rather than the way the fucking Cheneys want it to be.

Lynn "C-U-Next-Tuesday" Cheney is just doing her part to prepare the next generation of shrapnal sponges for Halliburton's future profit wars.

We're fighting a war. Don't be scared, it's way over in Iraq. We hope our troops will be safe and come home soon. That's it. No who's right or wrong.

on the board of education, and boards overseeing history books - editing history text books to white wash our history, give our history a "positive" spin etc.

a whole generation of an ignorant American population brainwashed a la Lynne Cheney and cohorts.

Time for the Two-Minute Hate.
