Oh,Cheney is doing good now!!!!

[Happygal]

'Global Test' Ha!
Good - flip flop. Cutting defence programmes.
Consistent pattern of being on the wrong side of defence issues!

Go Cheney!

[DoughtyOne]

That's true, but what do you expect from people who have been spewing lies for over a year? Cheney will just have to mow him down where he stands. He will.

[TeleStraightShooter]

How does the silky pony know OBL was cornered?

How does the silky pony know OBL is alive?
{he's guessing wildly}

[Freemyland]

YES. YES. CHeney refuted the "you connected Saddam and 9-11" line. Now he's hitting Kerry's record. YES!!!

[Rome2000]

2 debates so far and the GOP doesn't have the rats on record on whether they believe Saddam is a terrorist.

Unbelievable.

[Mr. Buzzcut]

Oooh ... good with the wrong for 30 years remark!

[escapefromboston]

global test, that didnt take long! :)

Edwards: There is no connection between Iraq and the attacks of 9/11 but the VP keeps saying there is.

Cheney: The Senator has his facts wrong. I have never said there is a connection between Saddam and 9/11. But there is a connection between Iraq and terrorists. The fact of the matter is that THEY have a very limited view of how to deal with state sponsors of terrorists. They have a "global" view that goes back to Kerry's saying troops should not be deployed without UN approval, voted against the Gulf War. A little tough talk in the middle of a campaign cannot obscure the truth. There is no basis to believe they will forcefully handle the war on terror.

[rintense]

Cheney NAILING the Kerry record!!! I love it. A little tought talk can not obscure 30 years of a record that says differently.

OUCH!

[NYC Republican]

Nice rebuttal from Cheney.

[killjoy]

Why don't the VP say we would have had more troops but Turkey would not let us bring the troops we had in the north come through Turkey. They had to go around Iraq and spent weeks and weeks getting into the country during the early part of the war

Read Tommy Franks' book. They were used quite well as a diversion.

[alnick]

Going after their records. Edward's looks surprised.

[Lil'freeper]

cheney slaming Kerry on his global test record. Eddie fakes a drink from his blue mug.

"Tough talk during a debate cannot obscure a record of 30 years of being on the wrong side of terror."

[Miss Marple]

SLAM DUNK BY CHENEY!!!!

[mombonn]

Blinky is starting to exercise his eyelids.

[Otta B Sleepin]

Cheney is awesome!

[Jorge]

I hope you're warming up Mr. Vice President!

Yes...Edwards needs a wake-up call. Cheney needs to remind Edwards that HE said Saddam was an imminent threat.

[GraceofGod]

GOOD! Cheney says they never said there was a connection to 911!!! (And sneaky Edwards feigns a look of confusion)

[what's up]

Yah Cheney! Mentioned Kerry wanted UN approval for troops as far back as the 70's.

Pointing to Kerry's long history of garbage. GO CHENEY...ATTACK!!
