Cheney: Gitmo prisoners "living in the tropics, they're well fed"...

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

Cheney also rejected calls for closing the detention facility for terror suspects at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, saying the inmates there "are serious, deadly threats" who will "go back to trying to kill Americans" if they are released.

He also defended the treatment of prisoners by the U.S. military at Guantanamo, telling Blitzer, "There isn't any other nation in the world that would treat people who were determined to kill Americans the way we're treating these people."

"They're living in the tropics. They're well fed. They've got everything they could possibly want," the vice president said.

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

1. Oh yeah, they're at Club Med Gitmo

And then there is this comment in the same article:

Cheney compared the current situation in Iraq to the last months of World War II, when Germans launched a desperate offensive in the Battle of the Bulge and the Japanese offered stiff resistance on Okinawa.

5. Yes, just like WWII, returning soldiers will kiss girls in the street.

...and just as we were welcomed in Iraq as liberators, Iraq will bask in its new-found democracy and send hand-written thank you notes to each and every American citizen.

4. Remember Cheney's comments shortly after 9-11

about the horrible evil underworld of people the US would be dealing with? He sure wasn't talking up prisoner provisions then. He was hinting at the need to torture to get whatever the Bushies wanted from the detainees, and suggesting that the American public should want nothing less.
