Bush: Cheney sees glass 'half full'

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- President Bush defended Vice President Dick Cheney's recent comments to CNN that there have been enormous successes in Iraq, characterizing the vice president as an optimist in an interview Monday with National Public Radio.

"I think that the vice president is a person reflecting the glass half full mentality," Bush said. "In other words, he's been able to look at -- as have I and I hope other Americans -- that the tyrant has been removed, 12 million voted, there's an Iraqi constitution in place that is a model and unique for the Middle East."

1. half full of what?

blood? oil?

[nealmhughes]

5. No, those are overflowing.

[originalpckelly]

9. Half full of crap...

I see the glass completely full of crap, especially when Cheney opens his mouth.

[sakabatou]

12. The dead?

[Qutzupalotl]

26. Scotch.

Guess what happened to the other half.

[Art_from_Ark]

31. Scotch

or whatever it was he was drinking when he had his hunting, er, "accident"

[damntexdem]

30. Yeah, that question was my first reaction.

But I have another suggested substance: think of the old protest song 'River of Shit.'

[The Wielding Truth]

2. Cheney sees his pockets overflowing!

[givemebackmycountry]

3. Yeah, sure Monkey...

And I see your head half full.
And not with any mentality either.

[maddezmom]

4. yeah it's unique alright

people being dying daily from car bombs, snippers, aerial bombing, etc. :eyes:

[tandot]

6. Did Bush drink the first half of the glass of Kool-Aid?

[Toucano]

7. The glass is actually broken and shards of glass are everywhere. n/t

[mitchleary]

8. I would too

if I saw an over 2900% return on my stock in one year as well.

[Cabcere]

10. One word:

Backwash. (With apologies to Dr. Stephen T. Colbert, D.F.A.)

[antonialee839]

11. Cheney the Cockeyed Optimist

:rofl:

[Amonester]

13. Darth Cheneyou$$elf sees ALL his glasses half full...

he can't stand seeing any full-filled glasses so he's got to sip 'em in it's like an ol' drunk's obsession :puke:

[deutsey]

14. Reminds me of the old SNL skit with Ackroyd playing Nixon

Nixon: Remember that army hospital I visited in Vietnam? There was a young enlisted man from Des Moines, Iowa. He had been hit in the eye with a surface-to-air missile. And he only had four pints of blood left in his body, and as you know, a man normally has eight pints of blood in his body. Now, the pessimists in this country would say that that boy was half-empty, while I like to think he was half-full!

[Bob3]

15. and the sky is green and everybody in Iraq rides ponies.

"and what the hell is your problem? I'm vice president, what i say goes"

[truthisfreedom]

President Bush said Monday that he does not intend to invade Iran, but he's willing to do "whatever it takes" to defend U.S. troops in Iraq whom he says have been attacked by Iranians.

"If Iran escalates its military action in Iraq to the detriment of our troops and/or innocent Iraqi people, we will respond firmly," the president said in a half-hour interview with NPR Senior Correspondent Juan Williams, the first broadcast interview the president has given since his State of the Union address.

Asked whether he would seek the approval of Congress for a move against Iran, the president said he had "no intent upon going into Iran," adding, "Of course, we'll protect our troops.

"I don't know how anybody can then say, 'Well, protecting the troops means that we're going to invade Iran," the president said.
