Vice President Dick Cheney talks about the U.S. economy during an address before the National Automobile Dealers Association in Washington, Tuesday, Sept. 19, 2006 calling the labor market the 'best in American history'. Cheney credited Bush administration tax cuts on dividends and capital gains for creating new wealth to boost business investment despite this being a bad-news year for GM, Ford and Chrysler.

Good for the Veep. He's a good troop.
You know, it sure is frustrating, if you take this terrorism problem seriously(I do). If the US leads this fight, and we do, then the rest of the world gets angry with us. If we had stayed home and did nothing, then the rest of the world would have accused us of goldbricking.
So, VP Cheney is quite right: The hope of the civilized world rides on our shoulders.
No offense to Dubya, but I still wish we could have flipped the ticket. Cheney is simply magnificent.
The World's Last, Best Hope BUMP!
I love this man. If only all Americans could listen to him....
"We know that the hopes of the civilized world ride with us. Our cause is right, it is just and this nation will prevail," Cheney said.
Cheney recalled that his own first car was a 1949 Chevrolet with several hundred thousand miles on it "which I drove with not much skill but plenty of enthusiasm. It had a lot of power. As I could recall, I could pretty much pass anything on the road expect filling stations."
