Vice President Dick Cheney visited Iraq for the first time since 1991. He made a surprise visit to the troops and made the usual "stay the course" speech. However, the troops didn't buy his message. It might be because some of them are on their second or third tours to Iraq. Some reports say that our service members gave Cheney a lukewarm reception. OUR MEN AND WOMEN IN UNIFORM WANT TO GO HOME! THE IRAQIS WANT US TO LEAVE THEIR COUNTRY!!!
Forbes has this news: Vice President Richard Cheney said the September 11 attacks on the United States could have been averted, if the government had the power to monitor electronic communications inside the country.
Do you believe this? Do you remember when Condoleeza Rice read the title of that PDB (President's Daily Briefing) called "Bin Laden Determined to Strike the United States"? This was months before September 11th and this administration still did nothing with this warning. It all just seems like they are trying to justify the fact that they broke the law!!!
After last night's speech, which was just like Bush's other speeches, people are getting tired of the broken record. It doesn't matter how many times it is said, how it is said, or where it is said, Bush's war in Iraq was a bad idea. Repeating the message will not change our minds. Our young people are paying with their lives and it is time to bring them home.
