Dickhead again

If this is help, we'd hate to see what totally discrediting a cause means. Seeking to help bolster the Bushies case of trying to stem the fast growing discontent in the nation regarding the Iraq fiasco, they have dispatched the person with the lowest credibility and highest negatives of any cabal member Dick Cheney. Appearing today before a group who (may) not heckle him - military troops, he spewed the same old tired, lying phrases that are designed not to divulge any truth or speck of a real plan, but to totally avoid and obfuscate reality.

Cheney stated that “The only way the terrorists can win is if we lose our nerve and abandon our mission... There is still difficult work ahead....To leave that country before the job is done would be to hand Iraq over to car bombers and assassins”....and finally, everyone's favorite “we have been making steady progress.”

Guess he's right - the death toll is steadily progressing upwards, the insurgents are steadily gaining strength, America is steadily losing influence and prestige, the CIA is steadily flying tortured prisoners around the world to hide them, the Pentagon is steadily increasing their paid for propaganda campaigns in the Iraqi media, the percentage of Iraqis not wanting us in Iraq is steadily rising (80% now), the cost of this fiasco is steadily progressing beyond $225B, the armor promised the troops is steadily lacking, military enlistments are steadily declining, and the percentage of Iraqis who believe it's okay to attack American troops is steadily progressing beyond 45%.

Good steady progress.
