Did Cheney ask for a timeline?
“At a news conference after the meetings, Mr. Cheney acknowledged that the Iraqis had given him no specific time commitments for legislative action on issues the Americans have identified as crucial.”
UPDATE: From last night’s CBS Evening News: “The word ‘time’ came up a lot during his meetings with Iraqi political leaders, as in time is running out, time to act on volatile, unsettled issues like real reconciliation, disarming militias, sharing oil revenue and Cheney warned Iraqi lawmakers this is no time to take a two month summer vacation, still a possibility.”

Why does Cheney hate our troops?
May 10th, 2007 at 12:39 pmI want a timeline and benchmarks for Cheney’s arrest and trial for war crimes.
May 10th, 2007 at 12:40 pmI hope they DO go on vacation…
…and leave the governing of Iraq to L’il Dick and Bushiva for real…
…maybe THEN we can get some International intervention…
…and war crimes prosecutions…
…a’ la Saddam…
May 10th, 2007 at 12:41 pmthe only timeline that Cheney wants is counted in generations. not months, or years.
May 10th, 2007 at 12:41 pm#2 – arrest and trial is really the only way to go – the sad thing is that none of these criminals are ever held accountable. that’s why we should never back down from demanding impeachment, no matter what excuses the politicians gives us for why they just can’t do it.
Constitutionally, there’s plenty of reasons to do so:

Cheney went to Iraq for only one purpose to demand that Iraq’s parliament passes the OIL stealing agreement. Darth Dicky gets a cut of the profits if the 30 year OIL swindle get passed.
May 10th, 2007 at 12:45 pmTick Tock, Cheney……
May 10th, 2007 at 12:45 pmThe word “the” came up innumerable times, y’all know what that means right!?!
May 10th, 2007 at 12:46 pmWhile ignoring Iraqi congressional requests for timelines , Bulldog Cheney took time to go shopping in Baghdad for a rug for his bald head.
Later, when a reporter asked him what was on his head, Big Dick said, ‘Damn, get off of me, McCain!’
May 10th, 2007 at 12:46 pmDid wasted time, four years worth, come up? Nah, I doubt it.
May 10th, 2007 at 12:50 pmI posted this on the other thread but it bears repeating. Bush said the following when he vetoed the funding bill:
“I believe setting a deadline for withdrawal would demoralize the Iraqi people”

Yep, sure will, George.
May 10th, 2007 at 12:58 pmHey; Dick’the camel’ Cheney, heres your needle eye!
May 10th, 2007 at 1:04 pm“sharing oil revenues” What a load of sh*t. Be nice and share with Exxon Mobile.
May 10th, 2007 at 1:17 pmMr. Cheney ? . . . WTF ??
That’s giving the ultimate sleazy, belly-draggin’ scum, wayyyy to much respect.
May 10th, 2007 at 1:23 pmImpeach the SOB . . . NOW !!

Iraq occupancy in ‘last throes,’ Cheney says
May 10th, 2007 at 2:19 pmGetting the Iraqi parliament to pass the oil law, which basically gives control over Iraq’s oil fields to western multinational corps, and putting the oil contracts into place is what Bush and Cheney are desperate to put into place before they leave office.
It’s also what Maliki, the Sh’iia, the Kurds and the Sunnis are trying to prevent.
If we’re ever going to get out of the region, get our own clean, sustainable and renewable alternative energy policies off the ground in this country, right the wrongs that have been done around the world in our names, 86ing that oil law is the way to do it.
May 10th, 2007 at 2:28 pmI’m beginning to wonder if…
..those mortar crewmen in the insurgency who’ve twice…
…hit (and missed) in the green zone…
…during L’il Dick’s “visits”…
…were U.S. trained?
May 10th, 2007 at 9:56 pmyep, sure explains why the Missed the green zone… … …
