Cheney: Iraq will be 'enormous success story'

Thursday, June 23, 2005; Posted: 8:08 p.m. EDT (00:08 GMT)

Cheney: "We will succeed in Iraq, just like we did in Afghanistan."


.....Cheney said he had not read the so-called "Downing Street memo," a document written by a British official in the fall of 2002 suggesting that President Bush had already decided to remove Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein, and that U.S. officials were over hyping intelligence about Iraq's weapons of mass destruction to build support for the policy.

However, the vice president said the premise of the memo -- that a decision to go to war had been made months before the March 2003 invasion -- was "wrong."

"Remember what happened after the supposed memo was written. We went to the United Nations. We got a unanimous vote out of the Security Council for a resolution calling on Saddam Hussein to come clean," he said.

"The president of the United States took advantage of every possibility to try to resolve this without having to use military force. It wasn't possible in this case."...........

1. bwahahaha-- "just like in Afghanistan...."

:rofl:

[Massacure]

16. I'll have to agree with Dick Cheney on this.

It will be a enormous success story. Who knows who will be telling the story though. In Afghanistan it is the poppy growers.

[izzie]

27. Yar and that place is not working either.

2. Cheney is obviously..

.. living in denial or else creating it.

What a jerk!

5. The memos/minutes say that

they went to the UN to try to "wrong-foot" Saddam.

[leesa]

18. He's making a ton of money for himself and his buddies, so it truly IS

an enormous success for him. This is exactly what they wanted.

[MidwestTransplant]

3. Saddam come clean? Um he was, remember.

[maddezmom]

4. he really is living in a cave

:eyes:

[dave502d]

6. Opium seeds on the way to Iraq.n/t

[MuseRider]

7. We succeeded in Afghanistan?

Really? Do you know anyone who would buy that load of crap? Me either.

[borlis]

20. I'm with you.

If Afghanistan is such a huge success I must have been asleep when the news of it hit.

[NewJeffCT]

29. Hey, don't forget...

Bush declared victory there, so we must have won.

Just like Bush declaring combat operations were over in Iraq, so no more fighting, right?

[MrSlayer]

8. It's already an enormous success.

Cheney and all the Neo-Con crew corporations are stealing money hand over fist to the tune of billions of dollars. If every one of our soldiers died over there tomorrow it's still a major score for them and they wouldn't care at all. The whole idea behind this war is not just to steal all of Iraq's oil and resources but to rob all the taxpayer's money here at home too. I'd say it's an overwhelming success for them because they are getting away with it and probably will never be called out.

[leesa]

19. This is why people should have no difficulty believing MIHOP. They

don't give a shit about Americans or any of the little people. Thank goodness they moved all the WTC CEOs to the same location Bush flew to on 9-11...one of their money grubbing pals might have gotten hurt!

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

9. Ya gotta admit...

he's got quite the fuckin' pair on him.

[tblue37]

22. Hmmmmm.

Both sides of his mouth seem to be working in this picture. So what is it with that constant snarl?

[jobycom]

10. Cheney's a better liar than Bush. But he believes his lies less.

Cheney knows he's doomed. He's just stalling the inevitable.

Keep our foot on that ugly, fat, lying neck of his.

[Media_Lies_Daily]

11. How long before Cheney turns America into a success story like...

...Afghanistan and Iraq?

How much more of this crap are the American people willing to take?

[beyurslf]

12. What he is saying and what the memo says actually prove each other true.

The memo says the intelligence is being fixed around the idea of the war. He says they went to the UN with the proof that war was needed. But, the "proof" they used was the "fixed intelligence" from the memo. Why doesn't someone call him out on this when he says it?

[dweller]

13. daayuum....

what's he smokin' ?

[Disturbed]

14. Darth Cheney is an evil.lying Sociopath.

That SOB went to the CIA at least 10 times to twist their arms to get the Intell to fit the Bush Regime War On Iraq. My hope is that the rank and file CIA that got shit on by the Bush Regime will leak docs that prove beyond any doubt that the Bush Regime "fixed" the Intell, betrayed Amerika and lied to the Congress.

[moondust]

15. Does Cheney still think Iraq had WMD?

A sick man with no credibility.

[leesa]

17. Cheney needs to steal more money from us to maximize his enormous

success story. How much has Halliburton/Cheney stolen so far? Are we up to a trillion yet?

[Jack Rabbit]

21. Obviously Cheney hasn't read the memo

Since it talks about going to the UN as device to trip up Saddam.

If Mr. Cheney is going to add Afghanistan to his list of great American success stories, may I suggest he also include Vietnam and Little Bighorn?

[Jade Fox]

23. Keep completely contradicting reality, Cheney.....

It's working great! Notice how opinion polls regarding the war in Iraq
reflect the effectiveness of your delusional statements? :eyes:

[dArKeR]

24. Moral Americans call for Cheney to be tried for Crimes Against Humanity

Baghdad June 22, 2005 in the year of our Lord.

26. Your photo; I wish I could hug him and wipe away his blood and bandage

his wounds and say how very very very sorry I am.

:(

[K8-EEE]

25. Excuse Me But HOW LAME IS IT NOT TO READ THE DSM???

When it's....like ABOUT you, and world news, oh give me a BREAK! That just translates to: I don't have any answers or excuses AT ALL.

[radfringe]

28. ask the dead how successful it is

Faces of the Fallen - Iraq
Operation Enduring Freedom - Afghanistan

or just ask their families

[mom cat]

30. Is constitutionally incapable of telling the truth.

[Zynx]

31. Cheney is not nearly as smart as we give him credit for.

The difference between him and Bush is that Cheney can sound like he knows what he's talking about, but he really doesn't.

[JerseygirlCT]

32. He's really divorced from any sense of reality. nt

[Lisa]

33. I don't think we can handle another catastrophic success!

But seriously -- how is it that the GOP accuse liberals of being fuzzyheaded and blind to bias, while Cheney is able to prance around spinning a fantasy world like this?

[sintax]

34. Dick Cheney can be counted on

which is why he is so well rewarded by the true controllers of this country. Counted on yes, to continue with the pathological cant which is now his true nature. He is a very sick, pathologically demented and sadistic creature who belongs in a safe house. He is never to be allowed in open society, not that he goes out much anyway.

[Julius Civitatus]

35. The soft bigotry of low expectations

These mofos have mastered it, indeed.

They sure have lowered the concept of "success."
