Cheney: ‘It’s game time’ in Iraq.
Vice President Cheney today made an unannounced stop in Baghdad, his second visit to Iraq as vice president. The Swamp reports on his “message” there:
The vice president’s message boils down to this, according to the official speaking on condition of anonymity: “We’ve all got challenges together. We’ve got to pull together. We’ve got to get this work done. It’s game time.“
As Hotline’s Wake-Up Call notes, evidently this means “the last four years have just been a scrimmage.”

JESUS CHRIST : GO PHUCK YOURSELF CHENEY
May 9th, 2007 at 10:28 amSo, the point of the visit is to prove that Cheney is still an asshat? I don’t get it.
May 9th, 2007 at 10:29 amHeh, Coach Cheney, sorry to interrupt- but the “game” started about 4 years ago…and…egh, egh, like, ugh… we’re sorta behind,…I mean I think we’re, egh, ..losing…sorry, Coach!
May 9th, 2007 at 10:30 am…and this is hysteria worthy because…? The criteria for whipping up mass hysteria around here seems to be any statement the Vice President or the President makes. The amusing irony is that this comes from the crowd that “champions” free speech. Ha!
May 9th, 2007 at 10:30 am“We’ve all got challenges together. We’ve got to pull together. We’ve got to get this work done. It’s game time.“
Ahhh, the tired old sports analogy. Gee, Dick, how original. May we ask where the f*ck you’ve been the last four years? More soldiers dead in Iraq than civilians in the WTC fiasco, upwards of a million Iraqis dead, 2 million displaced & homeless, U.S. soldiers shooting civilians, no water or electricity, imported terrorists killing everyone, complete loss of respect for the USA on the world opinion stage, lies, coverups & outright theft from your administration and you have the nerve to say
it’s game time?
May whatever’s left of you soul burn in Hell for eternity
May 9th, 2007 at 10:31 amIt’s game time.
As Hotline’s Wake-Up Call notes, evidently this means “the last four years have just been a scrimmage.â€
Yep, a scrimmage of 3000 US soldiers dead, thousands upon thousands injured, and over 600,000 civilians dead!
But let’s play for real this time?
Gawd, I absolutely hate this administration!
May 9th, 2007 at 10:31 amLord have mercy on all of us for letting this escalate!
What do you bet that shooter won’t be alone with US troops? If anyone knows the details, please share them. I would imagine that a vietnam style fragging would be the type of “accident” our troops might have in such a situation.
May 9th, 2007 at 10:32 amYou’re absolutely right, DICK. It is game time. Strap on your uniform, grab a rifle, and get in there. Your team needs you to lead by example!
May 9th, 2007 at 10:32 amCheney — “And speaking of game time, just because the president has taken more vacation time than any president in history that’s no excuse for you guys to be knocking off for two months this summer.”
May 9th, 2007 at 10:34 amCheney probably went to Iraq a couple days ago and there just pretending hes there today he already gone , If Not I hope the Insurgents get the bastard on his way out.
Bush probably only went to Iraq to spit in Saddams face
So whats cheney upto then ?????
May 9th, 2007 at 10:35 amHe can say what he wants. It’s just that 92+% think he’s a fat blowhard liar SOB.
May 9th, 2007 at 10:36 amThis from the guy who ‘was too busy to serve’ his country.
How many deferments, Dick? 53? OK, you’re excused.
No! Wait, their is no excuse for you.
May 9th, 2007 at 10:37 am“Give us the damn oil so we can leave,” -Cheney
May 9th, 2007 at 10:38 ammmmm…more Bruce Willis character´s talk.
May 9th, 2007 at 10:40 am53? isn’t that the number of heart attacks you’ve had? That doesn’t include the car bombs, though.
May 9th, 2007 at 10:41 amGive Dead-Eye-Dick a big gun. Turn him loose on those heathens. Let’s see if his aim’s improved.
May 9th, 2007 at 10:43 amThe Iranian bombimg campaign is going to begin soon.
May 9th, 2007 at 10:46 amNew cheney vodka ad:
Absolut Failure
May 9th, 2007 at 10:47 amNot only is it ‘game time’, it’s also let’s suck all that oil out of the ground time.
May 9th, 2007 at 10:48 amCheney needs to play his criminal chess games in prison with his cellmate Bubba Boy Bush. Bye Darth Dicky.
May 9th, 2007 at 10:51 amIf only FAT BLOWHARD LIAR SOB CHENEY could look every parent, husband, wife, child, lover etc. in the eye and say this is ‘game time’
This man is a coward.
May 9th, 2007 at 10:54 am41, 69… Hike!!
May 9th, 2007 at 10:57 am(obviously I meant the loved ones of the dead men and women going to fight for OIL)
May 9th, 2007 at 10:57 amCheney: Come on you guys, you need to start fighting this fight to get that oil or you can’t come back to America.
May 9th, 2007 at 10:58 amThis may well be Chainee’s last trip.
May 9th, 2007 at 11:03 amThe security situation is deteriorating exponentially.
He has yet to visit his oil masters in the Gulf.
They will give him the ultimate thumbs up,
or most likely, the thumbs down.
He’ll have no friends when he gets back to the States.
And he’s not looking to chipper…………
i’ve never heard of a game where hundreds of thousands of people died…this just shows the sick, warped perspective our “leaders” have of this godforsaken war.
May 9th, 2007 at 11:09 amYeah, it is all just a game to this jerk. He’s only the one moving the pieces around on the big map of the world. He could care less about the real lives behind the “game” pieces.
Too bad a stray bullet couldn’t have found it’s way to him, ya know?
May 9th, 2007 at 11:09 amProud Dem :
you read my mind.
May 9th, 2007 at 11:13 amGame time shoulda been a while back, doncha think?
May 9th, 2007 at 11:14 amCheney added, “Bring it on!”
May 9th, 2007 at 11:14 amCheney’s like the Tom Hanks character early on in “League of Their Own”: he is a coach who has no respect for his team and shows up late and drunk for the game.
May 9th, 2007 at 11:16 amCheney should be put in jail, stripped of his rights, no trial. Then they should take his considerable wealth and give it back to the families of all the soldiers who have died, been wounded, and are suffering from a multitude of psychological problems. He should never be allowed to participate in any political activity, ever…
May 9th, 2007 at 11:16 amAnd he’s not looking [too] chipper…………

You’re posting here. Do you have anything important to say?
May 9th, 2007 at 11:22 amSince this is such a big game, then after four years of failure, it’s time to fire the entire coaching staff.
May 9th, 2007 at 11:23 amHey Cheney – better nate than lever – the games supposed to be OVER.
May 9th, 2007 at 11:24 amYou’re absolutely right, DICK. It is game time. Strap on your uniform, grab a rifle, and get in there. Your team needs you to lead by example!
Comment by BlueArkansas — May 9, 2007 @ 10:32 am
Do we really want Cheney with a rifle anywhere near our troops? But a rifle, no bullets works, never mind.
May 9th, 2007 at 11:25 amMaybe if Cheney and Bush would attend the funeral of at least one dead soldier, they would gain some perspective.
May 9th, 2007 at 11:30 am#32 are you sure?
May 9th, 2007 at 11:38 amGAME TIME?!?!?
Is that like “Bring it on”?
Jeez Dick, why don’t you just ‘git ‘er dun yourself? Grab a weapon and stand a post!!
May 9th, 2007 at 11:39 amHey “Dick,”
It’s been a game all along, asswipe.
May 9th, 2007 at 11:42 am“It’s game time.” Uh, war is not a game. And what were the other four years of war, a warm up?
May 9th, 2007 at 12:10 pmImpeach the idiots already.
May 9th, 2007 at 12:49 pmSo does this mean “Big Dick’ will be suiting up and taking the field? Sure hope so. there’s nothing I’d love better than to see him on patrol in downtown Baghdad, ducking bullets left and right.
May 9th, 2007 at 12:53 pm#26 i’ve never heard of a game where hundreds of thousands of people died…Comment by Sandy — May 9, 2007 @ 11:09 am
Don’t forget the Romans in their decline, Sandy. I’m sure the Gladiators were expected to die with smiles on their faces, all for the glorification of the Empire, too.
