Cheney should have said that it would have been very helpful if SOS Colin Powell could have convinced Turkey to allow the 4th Infantry Division to come in from the north.
- just to upset Timmy a little.
Well, knowing some liberals sexual habits, they might be "abedding" too! :)
This argument has been going around and around since the Iraqi invasion. I have a hard time with not being allowed to question authority but I also understand the need to have the enemy believe that, having started, we aren't stopping until they surrender or die.
Where I have finally come to with decisions of war is that the time to debate and dissent is up until the war is engaged. Once engaged we stop being two parties or 50 states or 100 special interest groups. Once engaged we become Americans, we become the enemy of our enemy, and the enemy knows that the jig is up. No turning to the left or to the right, just straight on 'till victory.
Shalom.
Cheney is just a guy with the nerve to tell it like it is. The left of this country is playing right into the terrorists' hands.
