Cheney: Democrats Are Defeatists About Iraq
Tuesday , April 24, 2007
WASHINGTON — Vice President Dick Cheney, on Capitol Hill Tuesday for a regular Republican leadership meeting, lashed out against Democrats adding a timetable for withdrawal into the Iraq war supplemental spending bill.
Rarely commenting to the press after congressional visits, the vice president came before cameras to call a speech by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid "uninformed and misleading." He accused Reid and Democrats of pursuing their Iraq plans for the sake of political advantage, and he criticized Reid over conflicting statements he has made, from pledging not to cut funding to troops in Iraq while pushing for withdrawal to supporting a bill proposed by Sen. Russ Feingold that would defund the war should President Bush veto the withdrawal plan.
"In less than six months time, Senator Reid has gone from pledging full funding for the military, then full funding with conditions, and then a cut-off of funding. Three positions in five months on the most important foreign policy question facing the nation and our troops," Cheney said.
"Indeed last week, he said the war is already lost, and the timetable legislation that he is now pursuing would guarantee defeat," Cheney said.
Firing back at Cheney, as well as the president, Democrats called Bush's policy unaccountable and destined for failure.
"I'm not going to get into a name-calling match with somebody who has a 9 percent approval rating. ... I'm not going to get into a name-calling match with the administration's chief attack dog," Reid said after being asked about Cheney's remarks.

Go get ‘em Mr. VP. Big time...
"chief attack dog" is not name calling?
Dingy is so good he can contradict himself within the same sentence.
Giving thos the attention it deserves.
I think the VP should expose their defeatism. Just tell them the surge is working, Iraq is standing up, we are standing down. The Democrat surge is in its last throes.

The Congressional Democrats are causing our troops to be killed in greater numbers by emboldening the enemy.
As if calling someone an 'attack dog' is NOT name-calling.
Good one!!
Way to go Mr. Vice President. However it is time to call the democrats who they are: TRAITORS.
thos = this
It’s time Bush and Cheney called Liberals what they truly are—anti-American, anti-military cowards. Their acts of treason should be pointed out as well. The time for being politically correct and polite is over. We are at war with an enemy that wants us dead. Liberals using our troops as political pawns is reprehensible!

LOL! Good catch!
This is what the administration needs to do. They need to hammer the Democrats. There is no common ground to be found with traitors.
The penalty for the Congressional Democrats’ treason should be death by hanging.
Reid is one of the meanest, nastiest, rudest, and most arrogant traitors to ever take high public office.
thank God VP Cheney is finally speaking out !
Calling them for what they are.
take the gloves off...
Our good troops cannot fight the enemy to their fore
and the seditious politicians back in DC all by themselves.
Knock them on their okoles!
