'Decisive Response' Needed to Iraq Threat - Cheney
Thu Jun 6, 6:07 PM ET
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Vice President Dick Cheney said on Thursday there was a growing danger of terrorist groups acquiring weapons of mass destruction the United States says are being developed in Iraq and that this required a decisive response.
"This gathering danger requires the most careful, deliberate and decisive response by Americans and our allies," Cheney said in a speech to the National Association of Homebuilders.
Cheney said the United States was increasingly concerned about the possibility that militant groups such as al Qaeda would link up with governments of states developing weapons of mass destruction.
His remarks followed a series of aggressive comments toward Iraq by U.S. leaders, who have also said they want to see President Saddam Hussein ousted from power.
"No one likes us I don't know why. We may not be perfect But heaven knows we try. But all around even our old friends put us down. Let's drop the big one and see what happens."
-- Randy Newman - Political Science
What the Vice-President sez feels like a capstone to me.
As his father patiently built a coalition, I think our current President Bush is patiently building a foundation for a 'just war' and getting his knights and rooks in place to take the Black King in one swift move.
I think it will happen sooner, and not later. The sleepers already here will awaken and do their deeds on that day. It's gonna be one to remember.
