Cheney to Bush: "I can't believe you're going to leave a soldier on the battlefield."
Unfortunately, he wasn't talking about refusing to pursue al-Qaeda in Iraq with adequate troop strength, or tossing the army into Iraq over made up WMD rumors and outright lies about Osama-Saddam connections. Cheney was talking about Bush not pardoning Scooter Libby. "A solider on the battlefield." In the war against the Constitution, that is.

There's a happy ending to all this, of course.
Bush said he worried the incident would fracture his friendship with Cheney. But he said: "I'm pleased to report we are friends today."


Meanwhile, Iraq remains blown to bits, riddled with the demons & terrors Bush & Cheney unleashed, and still thousands of Iraqis have to live with the injuries and mutilations our pointless occupation brought on them. If you're a Bush, that's what you call a happy ending.

2. I love how these fucking chicken shit cowards are the first to invoke
military terminology. Especially after 5 deferments.

7. It should be a capital offense for Cheney to invoke a "soldier on the battlefield" metaphor.
That five-deferment, chickenhawk shitstain has not earned the right to do so.

10. "It should be a capital offense for Cheney to invoke a 'soldier on the battlefield' metaphor"
unless he's talking about Valerie Plame, betrayed and abandoned by her own.

3. Leave it to five-deferment Cheney to insult all the REAL soldiers he left
on the REAL battlefield.

8. But do you notice that when it comes to a REAL war, they always have "other priorities"?

14. What in the Hell does Cheney know about "soldiers" other than
sending them into harms way for self-serving political reasons? nt
