Cheney's Daughter: More Iraq War Is The Only Answer.

[kpete]

Retreat Isn't an Option

By Liz Cheney
Tuesday, January 23, 2007; A17

Sen. Hillary Clinton declared this weekend, " I'm in to win." Anyone who has watched her remarkable trajectory can have no doubt that she'll do whatever it takes to win the presidency. I wish she felt the same way about the war.

In fairness, Clinton, with her proposal for arbitrary caps on troop levels and hemming and hawing about her vote for the war resolution, has company on both sides of the aisle. Sen. Joseph Lieberman is the only national Democrat showing any courage on this issue. We Republicans -- with help from senators such as Chuck Hagel -- seem ready to race the Democrats to the bottom.

....................

Beware the polls. In November the American people expressed serious concerns about Iraq (and about Republican corruption and scandals). They did not say that they want us to lose this war. They did not say that they want us to allow Iraq to become a base for al-Qaeda to conduct global terrorist operations. They did not say that they would rather we fight the terrorists here at home. Until you see a poll that asks those questions, don't use election results as an excuse to retreat.

..........

America deserves better. It's time for everyone -- Republicans and Democrats -- to stop trying to find ways for America to quit. Victory is the only option. We must have the fortitude and the courage to do what it takes. In the words of Winston Churchill, we must deserve victory.

We must be in it to win.

2. How can you blame her. Liz just had another baby.

All those millions of dollars her family has invested in our Weapons and War Machine Corporations MUST PAY her children's way through Harvard or Yale. :wow:

Follow the money. ;)

3. I assume Liz posted this article from the recruiter's office, right?

Or does she have other priorities like her old man?

4. Liz is only 40 so the door is open for her to enlist. n/t

[ShortnFiery]

10. No, you are confusing Liz for Mary ...

Liz is the older, blonder, and more bony-assed hetero-sexual Cheney Sister who basically RULED areas of The State Department prior to giving birth to her fourth child.

She's the more dangerous of the two Cheney sisters, in that, she's attractive and really CHUGS the right wing koolaid. :(

On Edit: CORRECTION This post should be in response to #7. Sorry for the mistake. :blush:

5. Her invocation of Winston Churchill is simply wrong.

The simple fact is the British were dealing with a militant nation-state in the form of Nazi Germany, a nation that threatened to invade the Isles.

Iraq is no such threat to the US, and all the threats of Osama simply don't make him as much of a threat to the United States as Joseph Stalin or Adolf Hitler were, and Iraq wasn't even the one that attacked the US. Al Qaeda can knock down office towers, but the Kremlin had and still has several thousand nuclear weapons pointed at the US, enough firepower to turn to ash every square inch of the US.

6. Like Daddy wouldn't "do whatever it takes" to win

You can't get better projection than that.

:rofl:

[Donnachaidh]

7. So when can we expect her or her significant other to enlist?

She's pregnant, yes? So why isn't her partner joining up? If it's all that important?

8. She should know - her dad was a defecated war hero

9. Bravery by Proxy

It's always the safest course.

We this We that

Victory or death (my victory your death)

11. When are you leaving for the 'surge' in Iraq, Liz? There's an old saying,

"Put your money where your mouth is."

12. What a blood thirsty bunch. n/t
