Hmm. Sounding a little too Richard M. rather Richard B. for my tastes there.

Surely he know what he's calling to mind with that...

The hell with honor. We need to destroy the enemy as long as it takes. This mission is enduring. There will be no surrender papers signed on the deck of some ship. Cheney needs to get re-focused. The polls are in the tank, so who cares. Get as many as possible.

Statements about returning with honor is dripping with political b.s. The soldiers and sailors just want to do the job, come home, and if three years later they have to redeploy, so be it. They didn't join to sell girl scout cookies. Its the mission, not about perceived honor.

Vice President Dick Cheney said on Wednesday the United States wants to finish its mission in Iraq and "return with honor,"

Don't let your shirttail hold you back.

Cheney said: "We know that terrorist attacks are not caused by the use of strength, they are invited by the perception of weakness.

"We know that if we leave Iraq before the mission is completed, the enemy is going to come after us. And I want you to know that the American people will not support a policy of retreat," he added.

"We want to complete the mission, we want to get it done right, and we want to return with honor," said Cheney

What exactly is wrong with what Vice President Cheney actually said, without all the AP BS???

"...its foreign minister called the U.S. occupation strategy "immature"..."

Well. Coming from the Japanese, who SURELY know how to run an "occupation" better than anyone else, this is significant.

But hey. After all, we did criticize their occupation of Nanking, after all. In that light, perhaps we ARE immature.

We never did get that "baby juggling with bayonets" thing down pat as well as they did.

An argument about the shape of the table should erupt any day now. . . .

No Fly Zones, anyone?
