cheney: "It's been pretty well known that Iran is fishing in troubled waters"

[leftchick]

Here are more pearls of wisdom from the evil one today on his news program: Fox News Sunday. Is there anyone left who believes this lying sack of shit? anyone?




<snip>

"It's been pretty well known that Iran is fishing in troubled waters, if you will, inside Iraq, and the president has responded to that," he said.

"The threat that Iran represents is growing, it's multidimensional and it is in fact of concern to everybody in the region," Cheney said.



"If the United States doesn't have the stomach to finish the task in Iraq, we put at risk what we've done in all of those other locations," he said on "Fox News Sunday."


"I have yet to hear a coherent policy out of the Democratic side with respect to an alternative to what the president's proposed in terms of going forward," Cheney said.

"You cannot simply stick your finger up in the wind and say gee public opinion's against, we better quit," Cheney said. If the president did that, it would just "validate the al Qaeda view of the world," he said.



Cheney said criticism from members of their own party had not made him or the president feel embattled. "I've seen embattled administrations, this isn't one of them."

1. WOW

he just took out his old propaganda about Iraq and changed it to Iran. Didn't require any thinking!!!

[gademocrat7]

6. Just same old rhetoric.

Guess he and Halliburton haven't filled their war coffers to the brim yet.

[helderheid]

2. Says trigger happy.

[bluedog]

3. in same article he also said

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Vice President Dick Cheney said on Sunday the United States must show it has the "stomach" to win in Iraq or it will confirm al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden's view that Americans can be pressured to leave.



Bush plan has also met resistance among his own Republican Party. "To say that we're going to feed more American young men and women into that grinder -- put them in the middle of a tribal, sectarian civil war -- is not going to fix the problem," Sen. Chuck Hagel (news, bio, voting record), a Nebraska Republican, said on NBC's "Meet the Press."

Cheney said criticism from members of their own party had not made him or the president feel embattled. "I've seen embattled administrations, this isn't one of them."


*********** can we say cheney is in state of denial?

4. Cheney is the most dangerous mutherfucker on the planet..

He must be stopped!

[Warren Stupidity]

5. It is not like we live in a democratic republic.

""You cannot simply stick your finger up in the wind and say gee public opinion's against, we better quit," Cheney said. If the president did that, it would just "validate the al Qaeda view of the world," he said."

We voted last November to GET THE FUCK OUT OF IRAQ. That was not a 'finger in the wind', that was the sovereign voice of the people expressed at the ballot box.

Mr. Cheney, with all due respect, go fuck yourself.

[JHB]

12. I'm pretty sure he doesn't know how to do that, or else it doesn't work anymore

He only seems to get his jollies when he's scewing over everone else.

[seemslikeadream]

7. pretty well known

JUST LIKE THAT YELLOW CAKE THING, CHENEY?

[JHB]

8. It MUST be true! When has Cheney EVER been wrong?

:crazy:

9. Yesterday Gen. Pace was asking if the Iranians weren't involved,

how come we keep finding their "stuff" in Iraq? I'm sure you'll find some stuff, and then your problem will remain that most people won't believe you because of all the lies told for war in Iraq. Same neocon nutjobs running the same game. All they've done is replace the "q"s with "r"s. I do not accept, hell I even find it unacceptable, that we have no choice but to wage war on yet another country. By the time Afghanistan falls apart on us and they want to invade Pakistan, we will know we are completely screwed. Meanwhile, the world makes plans for a post-unilateral power world. Thanks GOPers.

[leftchick]

13. there are way too many reasons why we are NOT "finding their stuff"

except perhaps in the Kurdish region but they have a diplomatic relationship with each other and the USA has NO SAY in that relationship.

The Iranians would not be giving or selling their stuff to, Sunni insurgents, Mehdi Militia or however few al-qaeda in Iraq fighters there nmay be. The only folks down south they have a relationship with are our shiite friends al-Maliki and co. Not to mention there are literally hundreds of tons of high explosives and weapons already in Iraq and available thanks to the idiot rumsfeld.

Now has what Pace said made any sense at all in that context? They are simply making things up to provoke a war with Iran. Period.

[donkeyotay]

16. And the NYTs article pointed out that lots of Iraqis fled to Iran

when Saddam was still our guy. Now some of them have come back. Ethnically, culturally, that border doesn't mean much. It's much stranger to be finding Americans there than Iranians. And, if I'm not mistaken, we've got some "stuff" too.

[burythehatchet]

10. Why this beast

isn't dangling at the end of a rope at The Hauge is simply beyond me.

[drm604]

11. "I've seen embattled administrations, this isn't one of them."

Someone should ask him to list the embattled administrations he's seen. If the current one doesn't qualify as embattled then I don't know what the hell does. :crazy:

[Jim Sagle]

22. They're not embattled because they intend to do whatever they want.

If a law is passed, they'll veto or break it, whichever is easier. If issued a subpoena, they'll ignore it. If funding is cut off, they'll use other money. If impeached and convicted, they'll declare martial law - if they still have enough uniformed bots left to enforce it.

14. It's pretty well known

that this administration is shooting world peace in the face

[wakeme2008]

15. Sad to say but this time he is probably Right.... We hung the guy that was

against Iran in that part of the world...

[Beelzebud]

17. When this mass murderer says "Pretty much known" or "Pretty much confirmed", you know he's LIEING.

[NightOwwl]

18. It's been pretty well known, if you will...

that this man is a disgrace to our country.

[seabeyond]

19. alternative to what the president's proposed in terms of going forward,"

not just democrats dont have a plan. but an alternative to the presidents way of thinking to do what the president wants to do in going forward to win this war.......

ok

no the dems havent done this

cause the war is lost

but they do the same with put an alternative plan out there that does what the president wants to do.

totally bogus

[Tellurian]

20. SAD to see Cheney's talking points come from..

right here on DU.

How many posters have you caught using the "stick a finger in the wind" comment? eh?

Those are NOT progressives.. Kick em' to the curb, on phraseology alone!

[specimenfred1984]

21. I read that repigs still have "morals" on their side

Like Chumley's gay daughter who's pregnant in the anti-gay state of VA, living illegally with her partner and soon to have an illegal child that should, by law, be taken away at birth.

Those GOPig "morals" of lying, torture, criminal activity, treason and breaking every law they ever feel like breaking sure seems like "fishing in troubled waters" to me.

BTW, child-beating polls higher than Chumley does, more people support hitting children than support Chumley.
