Cheney looked really good, healthy, sharp, and proves again, Tim is no match for him. Yes, fool, the Taliban has acted up of late, they did it to test the NATO forces recently put in Afghanistan to replace American soldiers. NATO forces have shown them, "bad idea". 137 Taliban killed in the last 24 hours, and over 300 were killed last week.
"He won't back down fool", but Cheney's too much a gentleman to call Russert that. Cheney says, "I disagree Tim", then he explains why.
Time thinks he's got a "gotcha" when he shows the President saying Iraq is central to the fight on terrorism, and then shows a graphic that says 45% people agree, 53% disagree. LOL as VP Cheney said, "I beg to differ". Listen, Pumpkin Head, just because you got a poll graphic, doesn't make it so,and Cheney knows it.
Tim just can't nail Cheney, not even on WMD. So Tim switches to North Korea. "You took your eye off the prize on North Korea", Tim charges. They've doubled their nukes. Cheney won't let Tim get away with that line of thinking, he reminds Tim that our greatest threat is WMDs here, in this country.
On the dated Intelligence Committee document released (again), on Friday, Cheney has to correct the premise of Tim's accusatory question. Tim's line of questioning CLEARLY implies Cheney lied when he was on MTP right after 9-ll. Cheney clears the record on what information he had at the time.
TIM RUSSERT is playing "gotcha" big time, and as far as I can tell, Cheney is having none of it. He won't let Russert get away with misstating the record.
Cheney: "we know Zakawqi had an Al Qaueda training camp in Afghanistan and he moved it to Baghdad. He was there".
Cheney: "Tim, I don't know what part of this you don't understand", when Tim keeps on misstating the record.
(Almost out of desperation it seems,) Tim throws up another poll graphic, as if to say, "Take that, people don't support the war anymore". Cheney wisely puts that into perspective. Russert, you take that!!!!!
No WMD, no Saddam-bin laden connection, thousands dead, thousands wounded, wasn't it a mistake to go to war, Tim asked. Definite hopeful "gotcha" here, Cheney responds, too brilliantly for me to misquote, "It is absolutely the right thing for us to do," is the money quote. "the world is better off", and if we had to do it over again, we would do it again".
final gotcha. liberators or conquerors. GOTCHA Cheney!!!! Shut up Russert and let Cheney answer!!!!! Cheney says, "we did not anticipate the insurgency would last this long"...honest bottom line.
Russert is just trying toooooooo hard. Cheney reminds Tim there has been no attack since 9-ll when Tim says war money could have been better spent on security than on war. He won't give it up...mygawd, people can't carrry toothpaste on airplanes!!!! He's almost having a hissy fit. Cheney is Mr. Cool in responding, explaining "taking the battle to them is better than doing it here".
"What is victory, what is staying the course, what is winning", sissy man Tim asked, like he's genuinely curious. Cheney is not losing patience, explaining the president of Iraq must maintain relations with his neighbors, even Iran.
Tim goes to break, grinning like "an up next, more of my brilliant questions...stay tuned! "
I've had enough! Cheney rocks!!!
I really dislike Fat Tim.

Those bozos - Timmy and the Dems and libs - have learend nothing from history. The VP rightly points out (w/o using the actual word 'bloodbath') the disaster that will follow if we leave Iraq. Wake up libs!
Geezus! More 'gotcha'! 'Wasn't it a mistake to say' 'Didn't you misspeak when you said' 'Weren't you lying when you said' .... This has been a disgusting performance by Russert. I have never never seen him be so confrontational with any Dem guest.

| I love listening to Russert telling the Vice President that we wasted $300 billion in Iraq that we could have spent on homeland security. What he is saying is "Mr. Vice President, I could have spent $300 billion and had the exact same results as you and President Bush!" |
He did rock today, and I was yelling at Russert. (for the first time). Russert isn't worthy to clean Cheney's shoes.
