Cheney Repeats Baseless Claim That Insurgents Are Timing Attacks to Influence U.S. Elections
Cheney Repeats Baseless Claim That Insurgents Are Timing Attacks to Influence U.S. Elections
Today on Fox News’ Your World With Neil Cavuto, Vice President Dick Cheney said it was his belief that insurgents were increasing their violence to try to influence the midterm elections. Watch it:
President Bush has admitted this that there isn’t “any intelligence” that suggests terrorists are trying to influence U.S. elections. Also, Maj. Douglas Powell, a military spokesman in Baghdad, told United Press International that there was no intelligence for the claim.
While there is no reported intelligence for Iraqi insurgents trying to sway the current election, the CIA did conclude that Osama bin Laden and al Qaeda tried to manipulate the 2004 elections with the release of a videotape message. But the intelligence indicated that terrorists were trying to help Bush win re-election — not aid his opponents. Media Matters, citing Ron Suskind’s One Percent Doctrine, notes that CIA analysts concluded that bin Laden’s message in the days before the Nov. 2004 contest “was clearly designed to assist the President’s reelection.”

CAVUTO: Do you suspect that these insurgent attacks are timed to influence our midterm elections?
CHENEY: That’s my belief. I think they are, very, very cognizant of our schedule, if you will.

October 30th, 2006 at 4:05 pmHell yeah he is, what else do you expect?
October 30th, 2006 at 4:05 pmand the administration doesn’t “time” things, eh? Guess again! How about 911 for starters?
October 30th, 2006 at 4:09 pmYou officially get the

October 30th, 2006 at 4:11 pmCHENEY: That’s my belief. I think they are, very, very cognizant of our schedule, if you will.
Damn, I hate when he says that.
Anyway, didn’t the White House take the position at the beginning of the month that the casualties were high because it was Ramadan.
The military says the sharp increase in U.S. casualties — 70 so far this month — is tied to Ramadan and a security crackdown that has left American forces more vulnerable to attack in Baghdad and its suburbs. Muslim tenets hold that fighting a foreign occupation force during Islam’s holy month puts a believer especially close to God.
Why doesn’t this administration listen to our military commanders in Iraq. Why do they hate our military?
October 30th, 2006 at 4:12 pm“There isn’t any intelligence” is a perfect description of the words that come out of Dick Cheney’s mouth.
October 30th, 2006 at 4:12 pmdamn is it 2008 yet?!
October 30th, 2006 at 4:13 pmWhen has this guy ever been given accurate intelligence. Last throes, known locations of WMD’s and “look, there’s some ducks. Shoot”.
October 30th, 2006 at 4:14 pmCHENEY: That’s my belief. I think they are, very, very cognizant of our schedule, if you will. They promised that the new Osama tape will be airing this Friday.
October 30th, 2006 at 4:15 pm#3, right you are ,with predictable “terra scares” everytime their pole #’s dip.
October 30th, 2006 at 4:15 pmIt would be comical were it not so tragic, Cheney’s delusion.
October 30th, 2006 at 4:15 pmcheney is so full of shit his eyes must be brown. Does this bunch of nut job’s think we are all as stupid as their 30% reich winged bible thumpers..Geeeees….The people in Iraq are just trying to stay alive, have 2 hour’s of power a day and wondering where they can get food and water….cheney and his regime will say and do anything to keep the power, hell they even drag their wives out to pander like street whores…..Vote all the reich out so we can put them in jail…….Blessings
October 30th, 2006 at 4:15 pmCoincidence does not a correlation make.
October 30th, 2006 at 4:15 pmOk, let me get this straight:
1. Any news about terrorism or reminders of terrorist attacks such as bin Laden tapes or Orange Alerts helps Republicans in the polls; and
2. Terrorists are are attacking more agressively around elections so that Democrats will win
As Media Matters pointed out weeks ago, this is a logical impossibility. The media falls for it every time.
October 30th, 2006 at 4:16 pmDick “Vote Republican or Die” Cheney is the Worst Vice President Ever - Move over Agnew, you’re #2.
October 30th, 2006 at 4:16 pmDarth Cheney has spoken. What load of crap.
It couldn’t be the administration’s incompetence in managing the war could it?

October 30th, 2006 at 4:18 pmsorry for double post.
October 30th, 2006 at 4:21 pmMJ FOX contracted Parkinsons just to influence the elections. It’s all about ME 24/7/365
October 30th, 2006 at 4:22 pmJournalism 101: Follow-up questions.
Mr. Cheney, do you have evidence, not beliefs, that terrorists prefer one U.S. political party over another and, if so, which one and why?
Mr. Cheney, if terrorists prefer a specific outcome in the U.S. election, what mechanisms could they use to influence that outcome.
Mr. Cheney, if you believe terrorists would time their actions to influence U.S. elections, what purpose is there to an attack, such as 9-11, that occurs after a U.S. election?
October 30th, 2006 at 4:23 pmIt seems “Dick” is giving his Kindly but Creepy Grandpa look a test drive today.
October 30th, 2006 at 4:23 pmWhat is his theory about their theory? That escalating violence will “weaken the resolve” of US voters? He should be asked for an explanation that doesn’t come off as a slap in the face to US voters.
October 30th, 2006 at 4:24 pmtp what happened to my long list of links. it was there at one point.
October 30th, 2006 at 4:24 pmwell, i heard a news report that with the end of ramadan, the death rate has gone down, as expected…
October 30th, 2006 at 4:24 pmWhat has this administration ever gotten correct that we should believe darth and his hand puppet george?

must watch, time is running out
and don’t deleted tp. whats the problem
October 30th, 2006 at 4:26 pmKey answer: “That’s my belief.”
From the same man who believed it was okay to get–what was it? FIVE?– draft deferments.
October 30th, 2006 at 4:27 pmWhat is Cheney’s theory of their theory? That escalating violence will “weaken the resolve” of US voters? He should be asked for an explanation that isn’t a slap in the face of US voters.
October 30th, 2006 at 4:27 pmI think Cheney believes that “Ramadan” means “elections” in Arabic. What an ass.
October 30th, 2006 at 4:29 pmRichard B. Cheney, LSOS. Lying sack of shit.
Oops, some pathetic Republican is coing to be upset about name calling now…..Now that the Republicans are on the brink of loss they are whining about how mean the opposition is…
Suck it up.
Losers.
-GSD
October 30th, 2006 at 4:36 pmMr. Cheney, do you think that Al Qaeda was waiting for a Republican President in order to spring the 9/11 attacks?
-GSD
October 30th, 2006 at 4:37 pmActually, Tricky Dick is right — there are terrorist thugs trying to influence our elections next week. Trouble is, the terrorist thugs are the repuglicans, Diebold, PNAC, the RNC, etc., etc. So he had it right — he just shoulda been looking in a mirror when he said it…
October 30th, 2006 at 4:39 pmThe reason the US death toll in Iraq has gone up the last couple of months is very simple. The military moved 12,000 troops from locations with moderate activity into Baghdad. The tactical change responsible for the increased deaths have been made by the Americans. I guess everybody but Cheney knows this. Maybe he needs to spend some time reading “Sisters”.
October 30th, 2006 at 4:41 pm“That’s my belief” is such a telling phrase, it is a real trigger for the uneducated “my way is the only way crowd: be they real estate developers or rapturists or oil men or cattlemen……….
October 30th, 2006 at 4:42 pmIt wipes out any previously uttered nonsense he (Chainee) has said, and pushes that “everything will be all right as long as things don’t change” button on the dopey sheep who are afraid of a threat to their lifestyle.
Of course the angry young men and women in occupied and exploited countries want the current mis-administration to remain in power. They are readily given the reasons for attacking, the targets to attack, and the weapons to attack with.
Oh, for chrissakes, will you just stop with this line of bullshit?! Nobody with the cognitive skills of even Jar-Jar Binks buys that load of crap anymore!
But I suppose that while one lives in one’s own echo chamber, listening only to Fox “News” while eschewing any connection to reality, that gas-bag of effluvia known as Vice President Palpatine still smells sweet.
Well, memo to the Emperor of the Known Universe: we are choked with your stench!
October 30th, 2006 at 4:43 pmI think they ARE stepping up the attacks to influence the elections, and conservatives should trumpet this as good news. It means that we’re winning! They’re desperate enough to try to get the maniacs who are bombing them out of office.
October 30th, 2006 at 4:44 pmOf course, it also implies that our enemy has been holding back and has enough reserves that they can afford to attack more or less as they see fit, so that’s bad news. Hmmmm, kind of a double-edged sword, this particular talking point. If I were them, I’d retire it faster than “stay the course.â€
=======================
Incidentally, I posted this on the OTHER Dick Cheney item by mistake. They’re almost identical! What are you trying to do to us, TP?
Is there anyone left who doesn’t believe that Cheney is a psychopath?
October 30th, 2006 at 4:44 pmKnow how you can tell when dick isn’t telling the truth?
He’s on TV!
October 30th, 2006 at 4:44 pmlate to read the comments - i see you had that point covered, diet…
October 30th, 2006 at 4:46 pmi’d hoped i heard right…
Yes I believe terrorists are trying to influence the elections. Mr. Cheney need go no further than his mirror to see one of them.
October 30th, 2006 at 4:51 pmHe knows best, he ordered them.
October 30th, 2006 at 4:53 pmI beg to differ… it is Bush who is planning events in the Middle East to affect the US elections… the October Surprise… insurgents don’t think about our elections…
October 30th, 2006 at 4:54 pmAnd they are attacking us with the weapons we didn’t track when giving them out to the Iraqi Army, who then sold the weapons to the insurgents, or deserted and became insurgents. So, DICK, I would say these guys are rooting to keep your incompetent administration in power as long as possible.
October 30th, 2006 at 4:55 pmnobody knows terrorists like our dog dick! he can even tell you what they think, what they want to do, how they are going to do it, when they are going to do it, where they are going to do it, and he sure knows why………
October 30th, 2006 at 5:01 pmwait a minute. for anyone to know as much as him, you have to be one of the planners, or a news person. we know what he thinks of news people.
Republican lies are simple to decode: They say the exact opposite of the truth. In this case, the reality that Lyin’ Dick is trying to cover up is that Al Qaeda and other terrorists most definitely want the Republicans to win. The occupatioin of Iraq has been a bonanza for Al Qaeda.
October 30th, 2006 at 5:08 pmJust as these attacks are about Ramadan, something which has nothing to do with American elections, the Tet Offensive was about Tet, a southeast Asian tradition which is a festival I think associated with the Lunar New Year. The Vietnamese were not thinking about our elections. They had bigger fish to fry.
October 30th, 2006 at 5:13 pm“President Bush has admitted this that there isn’t “any intelligence— ….
“Maj. Douglas Powell, a military spokesman in Baghdad, told United Press International that there was no intelligence” …..
Basically the Bush Administration has NO INTELLIGENCE!
Let’s get some people who have intelligence into office.
October 30th, 2006 at 5:14 pmOur own State Dept. admitted earlier this year that they and the CIA knew before the 2004 election that Osama bin Laden preferred that Bush be reelected.
October 30th, 2006 at 5:15 pmOf course it’s easy to know when the terrorists or whatever they’re called are going to attack when they are bought and paid for by these America hating neocons!
October 30th, 2006 at 5:17 pmSo the Boogeyman has a daytimer. Does the enemy set the price of oil too?
October 30th, 2006 at 5:36 pmAre they terrorizing Wall St. right now? Is this the PR arm of Al-Quda he’s refering too. Did he a get a lifted board room memo from the last Al-Qualude strategy session? If we’re so sure how they think how come they keep kicking our asses in Iraq? What part of the government is this man running right now?
It seems to me that if the insurgents do in fact have the time and resources to follow our elections and form an opinion as to which party it wants in power, as well as mount an insurgency as effective as the one they have conducted, then we probably haven’t disrupted these insurgents too much. I’ve got a 9-5 job and I have a hard time keeping up with the political happenings… I can’t imagine an Iraqi insurgent would do much better.
October 30th, 2006 at 5:46 pmI still am floored by the absolute failure to see how un accountable they are and then to watch them turn their screw-ups into self fulfilled prophecies. Again if they know what inclinations Al-Quaalude exhibits then why did we not prepare for it? It’s like the line ” There hasn’t been a new refinery built in the US in 30 years.” Well why not? Hmmmm, let’s see. Now jump over to Mr. Cheney’s comment above. It’s like, Good heavens they’re at it again, but don’t ask me why we haven’t done anything about it.I think the VP thinks he’s John Adams.
October 30th, 2006 at 5:55 pmAs a matter of fact, statistically speaking Dick is dead-wrong 100% of the time, if you will.
October 30th, 2006 at 5:57 pmI have stopped being surprised by pseudo-patriotic megalomania that comes from the worst administration in a century. What’s worse is that no one in the media bothers to call them on their fallacious logic. Exactly what influence does the insurgency hope to wield over us? Do they want Democrats or Republicans and how does an increase in violence get either? No, this is a war of attrition and those who do not remember the past are repeating it. America saw it in Vietnam and the former U.S.S.R. saw it in Afghanistan. For that matter, nearly every occupying power in history has its own crippling fight against a determined guerrilla insurgency. Thus, this isn’t a political issue of trying to sway voters in a faraway country. It’s about inflicting death by a thousand cuts. The sooner our leadership wakes up to this, the sooner they can end our occupation and let Iraq sort itself out.
October 30th, 2006 at 6:11 pmThat’s my belief.
Can someone explain to me why anybody should pay attention to what this man believes?
He believed there were WMD in Iraq. There weren’t any.
He believed Hussein had reconstituted his nuclear weapons program. He hadn’t.
He believed Hussein and AlQaeda had “long standing ties”. They hadn’t.
He believed in limited government. Presidential powers have been expanded during the Bush administration.
Why should we believe him?
October 30th, 2006 at 6:11 pmRight, members of your family have been murdered, you’re taking your life in your hands just going out for groceries, armed militias are roaming the streets killing people, your entire country is in ruins and chaos, you’ve joined a militia yourself — and you’re wondering who’s going to control the American congress next year. Just the kind of argument a guy like Dick Cheney would make.
October 30th, 2006 at 6:14 pmCheney’s 30% approval rate comes primarily from his wife, children, friends/cronies, and assorted sycophants that make up his entourage. Plus the legions of kool-aid drinkers in desperate need of an authoritarian father figure.
That’s my belief.
October 30th, 2006 at 6:26 pmand a…what kind of proof do have of this? oh…you called 1-900-insergents, and found out? Rush limpdong told you? You read it in the National Enquirer?….or your just a ‘fright peddler’….I see.
October 30th, 2006 at 6:28 pmIf anyone is trying to use the war to influence the election, it’s the Bush administration. Remember, the Iraq freedom fighters are in “their last throes”.
October 30th, 2006 at 6:40 pm#60 Bingo. I’m not surprised if Bush admin are going to “unconver” some new terrorist threats before the election.
October 30th, 2006 at 6:52 pmLike the neocons were helped by Osama for the new Pearl Harbor and even elections…
CIA: Osama Helped Bush in ‘04
October 30th, 2006 at 7:16 pmhttp://www.truthout.org/docs_2006/070406B.shtml
If we get to this election night without another “Gulf of Tonkin incident” happening in the Persian gulf, I’ll be surprised.
October 30th, 2006 at 7:20 pmThe US has had elections on the 1st Tuesday following the 1st Monday in November for over 200 years!
My question is: When did the Muslims schedule Ramadan right before our elections, huh?.
They are a very, very crafty people.
October 30th, 2006 at 7:31 pmWhich is it? One Fox House leader says there is no link to the rise in violence in Iraq and our pending elections, and the other Fox House leader says the increase in violence is an attempt to influence our elections. This is probably the same kind of disconnect the Fox House was suffering under when discussing whether Iraq had WMD’s.
October 30th, 2006 at 7:49 pmCheney has not told the truth about anything since he has been in office…what a lying sack of worthless wet shit.
October 30th, 2006 at 9:34 pmObservations from an outsider
————–
1. 2 Days to election , some video will show up on the Internet.
2. Fox & other cable networks show it around the clock.
3. Bush, Cheney & their goons will run around shouting about the ‘lurking dangers’ to the country & they are the ones who can protect.
4. GOP will pull off yet another late victory.
How predictable are the elections here? Remember 2004?
October 30th, 2006 at 9:40 pmCheney is such a moron, it’s no longer funny.
October 30th, 2006 at 9:48 pmAnd I thought the 9/11 truthers were crazy. rofl.
October 30th, 2006 at 9:49 pmIf we’re so sure how they think how come they keep kicking our asses in Iraq?
Comment by the+fly-man
Please tell me I’m not the only one here who thinks this statement is a load of crap. While most may not think we are in Iraq for the right reasons surely most don’t by into this extreme statement.
October 30th, 2006 at 10:01 pmFly how do you come to such a conclusion? You just hope we will lose so you are just projecting that?
Oasma = Bush,
October 30th, 2006 at 10:02 pmThey both want the Iraq war to continure, Bush of course to steal even more and kill even more troops and citizens, and Osasm to keep training his troops in the best fighting camp, competing against the strongest army the world has even known.
Steve, are we or are we not getting our asses handed to us in Iraq?
October 30th, 2006 at 10:04 pmJpark how do you keep score? What are you using as a determining factor? The number of our dead soldiers that the media can’t help but put out with glee? Does the media put out the numbers of terrorist we kill? Rarely, I saw where Pakistan took out 80 in a single strike. I’m just asking so I can give you a good response.
October 30th, 2006 at 10:10 pmSteve, are we winning? Simple question.
October 30th, 2006 at 10:15 pmOh, I forgot to add. What exactly would we be winning?
October 30th, 2006 at 10:23 pmBy every way to measure it YES!
October 30th, 2006 at 10:24 pmI was watching CNN tonight with Nancy Grace. Surprising huh? I get my news from many many sources. Anyway her show was on American Heros and she talked to both family members of fallen soldiers and some active soldiers. None of them said we were there for the wrong reasons or regretted thier or thier loved ones service. Nope no Cindy Sheehan anywhere in this group. They all said they were doing “GOOD” things there and the people of Iraq wanted them there and when they were scheduled to return home from thier tour was asked by the Iraqis to stay. Writing on walls saying Thank You America. I know it’s amazing that i saw this on CNN but I have been reading this from our troops on alot of different sites. I listen more to what the troops have to say being a VET then I do what a Media outlet has to say.
The posting seems slow again tonight :(
October 30th, 2006 at 10:25 pmYeah, it is surprising you watch Nancy Grace. Huh? She is such a shill she makes O’Reilly look independent. If you are stupid enough to believe that no family of those who died believe we are in this for the wrong reason…well, you are kinda stupid.
October 30th, 2006 at 10:27 pmJpark I already pointed out Cindy Sheehan. Most parents respect the choices that thier childern make and support them. Cindy on the other hand is making it sound like her son was stupid for the choice he made and she wants to use his death to get her FACE time. She reminds me of McCain in that respect. Do whatever to get your face on the TV.
October 30th, 2006 at 10:32 pmSteve,
I did not the know that mission of our military is to build schools, restrooms, playgrounds for some foreign country(even if we get killed in the process , it is ok. Those toilets are damn important !)
It is so painful to see so many American lives getting destroyed so that people like you win elections & carry on your god knows what agenda.
How about catching the bad guys who did 9/11 and rebuilding schools/playgrounds destroyed by Katrina?
October 30th, 2006 at 10:33 pmRick why do you think we are not going after terrorist around the world? Why do you focus on Iraq?
October 30th, 2006 at 10:40 pmKatrina isn’t the only hurricane we have ever had… it is the only one where people expect the government to do everything for them. How did people in Andrew and the many others get thier lives back together? I don’t remember hearing how the goverment had failed them. Also people in Mississippi were hit hard but all we hear about is New Orleans…… why is that?
Steve, why do you hate a grieving mother. Why would you, who have absolutely no stake in this war (like me) hate Cindy Sheehan (who does)? Are you eating up the talking points? Are you a heartless asshole?
October 30th, 2006 at 10:45 pmDer Steve, I was in Stuart Florida during Andrew and FEMA didn’t screw that up. Any more questions?
October 30th, 2006 at 10:46 pmJpark did you get a debt card? LOL
October 30th, 2006 at 10:50 pmSteve, nice joke. Now try equating Andrew and Katrina again.
October 30th, 2006 at 10:52 pmIt is so painful to see so many American lives getting destroyed so that people like you win elections & carry on your god knows what agenda.
Did you know that there were 2503 murders in California last year? Maybe we should redeploy to Texas.
October 30th, 2006 at 10:53 pm#87 Wow, chalk that one up as a loss for you. That was weak.
October 30th, 2006 at 10:54 pmSteve,
I don’t think being a refree in the fight between Shias and Sunnis & getting shot at by both parties is not exaxctly fighting terrorism. May be for a brain washed guy like you , not for me. ( majority of the Americans agree with me)
When I checked last time Mehdi Army is the military wing of the Shia party which was elected to power on our blessing.
Same guys we put in power & they shoot at us. Morons like you think that we are fighting Al Queda.
May I ask how come the most powerful army ever is not able to catch the guys who did 9/11? ( May be due to bad leadership?)
Don’t give me your talking points , saying that we have killed # 149, # 168 etc in the Al Queda !
October 30th, 2006 at 11:02 pmThat guy gets whiter by the day.
October 30th, 2006 at 11:30 pmCheney and Bush company ARE the ones planning attacks around election time. If (or when) the democrats win a majority in november, you can count on the white house to stage another terrorist attack and then blame it on the dems in congress.
October 31st, 2006 at 8:23 amDoes anyone remember the old saving…..”if your friends jump off a bridge, would you do it”. The moral point being…..use your head and commonsense, don’t buy into pressure from others and make decisions based in reality!! There was NO REALITY in the Iraq War….NO ONE FROM 9/11 CAME FROM IRAQ, THERE WAS NO CONSPIRACY BETWEEN ATTA AND TOP OFFICIALS IN IRAQ AND EVERYTHING POINTS THAT THIS WAR HAS ONLY AIDED THE TERRORISTS THAT “WE SAY” WE ARE AGAINST. Any parent that says that their child died for some NOBLE CAUSE is DELUSIONAL!! These parents that say this are only protecting themselves from psychological guilt from not only doing nothing to stop the deaths of their children, but even worse yet…..pressuring them to go to fight and ultimately die on nothing more unsubstantiated than BS RHETORIC. If I was SO NEGLIGENT in raising my son…..I guess I would have to find some noble reason……other than POOR PARENTING!!
I am patriotic…..I have served in the military and was honorably discharged 3 times from the Army. My son will be 18 in January….AND THERE IS NO WAY HE WILL GO TO IRAQ (DRAFT OR VOLUNTARILY). I will hog tie him, kidnap him, do whatever it takes….to save his life, and if he hates me forever…that’s ok, at least he will be around to have children of his own. This is true parenting and true conviction. Just think if the Germans had stood up to Hitler Youth what the possibilities my have been for those children….most of whom are NOW DEAD. Parents who give up their children for nothing more than ILLOGICAL & IRRATIONAL RHETORIC….don’t deserve to have children.
October 31st, 2006 at 11:38 am#73
Oh my god, Vietnam war’s “body count” policy again? When media reported kill VCs day by day. Hey, I need the poll show the terrorism thought fade out from Middle East, show Iraqis agreed with US policy. Again kill more terrorist, it doesn’t mean you eliminate terrorism. Is it hard to understand to you Steve? You don’t think Bin Laden easily recruit more terrorists from Iraqis?
October 31st, 2006 at 11:46 amMy son will be 18 in January….AND THERE IS NO WAY HE WILL GO TO IRAQ (DRAFT OR VOLUNTARILY). I will hog tie him, kidnap him, do whatever it takes….to save his life, and if he hates me forever…that’s ok, at least he will be around to have children of his own.
Typical Liberal, freedom of thought and action is only reserved for those who believe the same way as you. Your son might see the world in a different way then you and you would discount his ideas by imposing your own upon him. My son is 18 now and if he decided to join I wouldn’t tell him how stupid it was… I would support his decision. i have done my best to raise him and I’m always here for him, but he is an an adult now and free to make his own choices.

I never suggested that killing them totally eliminates terrorism, What does eliminate terrorist is by giving those who readily join a chance at hope. By establishing democracy and giving people who have never had any power in thier own lives, that chance, we slowly erode the foundation that creates terrorists. We are more in a battle with those who wish to maintain that foundation then with anyone else. Its going after ther the root of the problem, not just the symptoms that scares them most.
October 31st, 2006 at 11:55 amSteve that (#94) would be awesome, if we’d ever done anything remotely like it, but we’ve done exactly the opposite, impoverishing a generation or three of Iraqis and Afghans, and doing more to recruit terrorists into the jihadi groups than anyone has ever, ever done. Not to mention our ongoing coddling of Saudi Arabia, where the actual “root” of the actual “problem” is to be found.

Tom, the problems exists throughout the middle east, I’m not protecting any country or regime. Iraq is so important because when we succeed it will be the beacon of freedom and Arabs will see they have a choice. Countries Like Saudia Arabia will no longer be able to rule the people in an oppressive manner. Iraq is the point of impact and the rest are just ripples from the wave which will sweep the region. Free people pose much less of a threat to us than people with no freedom or hope. We are only fighting terrorist in Iraq because they choose to come there. Why would they come from countries all over the world if Iraq was not important to them??
October 31st, 2006 at 1:11 pmI find it HIGHLY amusing that Darth Cheney and the rest of the knuckeheads in Chimpy’s administration keep repeating themselves that the increased violence in Iraq is a result of the insurgents wanting to influence our upcoming elections … HHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!
Like they really give a CRAP about our politics!! That’s like saying that Chimpy & Co. consistently break the law in order to protect us … IT AIN’T HAPPENIN’. My 14 year-old has a better understanding of what our men and women in the military are facing in Iraq than these MORONS in the White House.
FEAR!! TERROR!! GAY MARRIAGE!! More of the same from this cabal of IDIOTS … all fluff and ABSOLUTELY NO SUBSTANCE.

Like Iraqi insurgents give a flying F**k about the midterm elections.
All Americans are the same to them.
