Cheney: "put in place a vision to make a decision-live with that decision"
The danger here is without a very firm commitment on the part of the president of the United States to put in place a vision to make a decision and live with that decision ... what you get out there on the other end is confusion, weakness, uncertainty and indecision," the vice president told about 200 people at a town hall meeting.

What we have gotten from the flawed vision of Bushco is over 1000 American women and children killed in Iraq, over 7000 maimed. Their entire policy is confusion, from their assurances of a short war, to their claim that WE have somehow transfered sovereignty to the CIA mole, Allawi, that we installed there, replacing the chameleon Chalabi who fed us whatever lies he could think of to gain himself and his family a position reigning over the hapless Iraqi people.

And now WE have to live with their vision to make a decision". Our soldiers have to live with Bush and Cheney's greedy visions of control over Iraqi oil and a more compliant puppet state than their gopher Saddam who Cheney and Rumsfeld had coddled to provide a wedge against the hostile Iran.

WE have to live with Bush's disasterous decision to invade and occupy Iraq, their flawed decision to send our soldiers into a quagmire without body armor, training, enough numbers, or any plan to get them out of there. Now short on bodies to sacrifice on the altar of their ambition, Bush and Cheney have taken our part-time soldiers in the Guard and Reserve away from their families, homes, and precious jobs to further the Bush cabal's 'visions' of dominating that region for their greed and power.

WE have to live with the escape of bin Laden from Tora Bora since Bush pulled the bulk of our troops out to bomb Iraqi civilians women and children, in their zeal to make themselves war heroes, despite having avoided serving beside true warriors when their sacrifice would have actually counted.

WE have to live with the imminent, continuing threat of increasing terrorist forces bent on destroying the 'devils' who would put these counterfeit losers in a position to threaten the lives and safety of every man, woman, and child who gets in the way of their blustering imperialistic, expansionism.

WE have to live with the mortgaging of ours and our children's future toil and tribute to the subsidizing of both of the Bush president's bloody and costly wars of opportunity, the shackling of countless generations of Americans to a corporate agenda of U.S. world domination, supported by the perpetual sacrifice of the lives and blood of generations of our sons and daughters in a continuous world war.

WE have to live with a manipulated foreign policy which exploits the resources of the defenseless around the world for the benefit of a minority of industry leeches.

I have a vision. Americans deciding to vote these dangerous pretenders back to whatever hole they crawled out of. With our full participation in the voting process we promote respect for our nation and each other, and help ensure an equal chance for representation for all of our citizens in the deliberations of our government. Our vote is the instrument of our collective conscience and our warrant to the realization of our freedom, our liberty, and our well-being. Let's make it happen folks.
