"Cheney Exclusive: On 4,000 Dead in Iraq, He Says They Volunteered"

[LottieDah]

Yes, these gallant soldiers volunteered. Every life is precious. Too bad MSM can’t honor those who gave their all.

[sappy]

What a rotten headline and very misleading to the full context of the comments which were more geared toward the number of tours that some had been involved in.

[Army Air Corps]

The MSM is giddy over this. When will they publish an abortion death toll?

[LottieDah]

I mentioned the same thing in an earlier post. How come the number of dead children since the enactment of Roe v. Wade is a non-issue? My heart goes out to the family and friends of the fallen. God bless each and everyone of their gallant souls.

[massgopguy]

Read some of the comments. I wonder what they would sound like if Al Gore had been POTUS and 9-11 happened? Which it was going to regardless of who was in the White House.

[ex-snook]

"who made the decision to commit US troops to war, and reminded the public that U.S. troops in Iraq and Afghanistan volunteered for duty."

Yes wasn't it good they didn't have better things to do than serve their country.

[tobyhill]

I had to post the article headline as written but the link to the article is disgusting. I hope whoever wrote the link title goes and hangs themselves after the complaints ABC will get.

[Gator113]

Your headline sucks.

[sappy]

from the same pigs who spit in Viet Nam soldiers faces 35yrs ago.....

[tobyhill]

They try on the link headlines to make it sound like Cheney said they died because they volunteered but they gave their life so some people can enjoy freedom and even the freedom for the worthless piece of crap to write misleading and disgusting link headlines.

[tobyhill]

I know it sucks but I didn’t write it and I attributed it to the ones that did, ABC.

There is NO greater love than the man who lays his life down for a friend!!!

[LottieDah]

My daughter’s boyfriend is a Marine. He lost five buddies when he was stationed in Fallujah.

[Yo-Yo]

From the article:

Raddatz noted that some soldiers, Air Force members, and Marines have been on multiple deployments and have been sent back to Iraq because of the stop-loss policy — an involuntary extension of a service member's enlistment contract. The Army alone says 58,000 US soldiers have been redeployed to war because of the stop-loss policy.

Cue the plug for the latest anti-War movie.

There would have been no invasion of Afghanistan or Iraq. Algore would still be working with the U.N. on getting sanctions imposed and strongly worded letters written.

[LottieDah]

All you guys would be wearing turbans and all us gals would be wearing burkhas.

'04?

There would have been no invasion of Afghanistan or Iraq. Algore would still be working with the U.N. on getting sanctions imposed and strongly worded letters written.

And Al-Qaeda would have hit us at home, again and again, possibly with WMD. But the DOJ would have those indictments for Bin Laden, Zawahiri, etc. ready to be handed up ...

[tobyhill]

This is what they're fighting for and maybe the bitches from ABC can one day get a brain and figure it out.
