The president and vice president should not be swayed from doing what is right because of a poll. Polls can be notoriously fickle with significant changes over relatively short periods of time as the public gains more knowledge and comes to understand the facts and issue. It is not like there has been a long, steady, consistent trend showing the loss of public support for a venture. Nor is like this conflict has taken longer than WWII with little to show for it other than the loss of American lives, squandering of our national treasure and severe over extension of our military. Nor have the polls been driven by the constant failure of the Iraqi government(?) to make political progress in resolving the sectarian differences that led to near civil war.

The president and vice president must buck public opinion when the threat goes to the very viability of our nation as amply demonstrated by the number of innocent Americans killed in the attack on the Trade Towers because these numbers certainly must have exceeded the number of innocents killed during the invasion Polland, France, the Netherlands and the Battle of Britan during WWII. Certainly we hp presario pp2200 battery,hp pavilion nx9600 battery have seen numerous countries fall to the influence of radical Islam before engaging on this war just as we saw the Iron Curtain fall over Europe during the Cold War.

Then five defferment Dick a few dys later states that it is important they we pay attention to the fact that the latest polls of Iraqies comfirm the fact that the longer we stay in Iraq the more that they like us being there. I have searched every where and cannot find any poll like this. This is more crap like the intel that the Bush’s dreamed up then concluded it was wrong, no WMD’s, no poll. I can’t wait until these guys get arrested.

Dick Cheney’s dream is to be 90 years old, a billionaire from the U.S. treasury through contractors and oil companies to him, being interviewed by Fox News for broadcast on their twenty channels, making one last death bed statement:

“Iraq, Iran, and Venezuela are turning the corner, democracy is on its way. Six more months, then we’ll see. Stay the course.”

“Oh, and global warming is real. Gotcha!”

Hagel makes up stuff! How can a sitting President, and his elected/appointed staff BECOME ‘INCORRECT’? Did they forget to brush one day? The sad part is that the magic neo-con delete button says to the public, often, “subract the dead and wounded, call it an incorrectness, an move on…” What’s sadder yet, is how this flailing site, tries to mirror the adding of negatives. The result has little bearing on PROGRESS, of the the emotional/intellectual core of (forward)American motivation, regarding some or part of our existing policies!!

I think part of the problem with people like Bush and Cheney (and most other politicians)is that they think of themselves as our leaders.

And the press and even people here refer to them as our leaders.

They are not our LEADERS. They are our REPRESENTATIVES. They are sent to Washington to represent the will of the people. They are not there to do whatever they want!

Senator Chuck Hagel is a straight shooter — maybe, I shouldn’t use those words in an article about Veep Dick Cheney! — that was why I voted for him in his Senate run.

That God for Chuck Hagel, he’s the ONLY honest man in Washington from either party, with the possible exception of Sen. Webb D-Virginia. I am a die hard Democrat and I’d consider voting for Chuck Hagel for President.

Cheney is one of the most dangerous persons in government. He always has a hidden agenda, and he is paranoid about attacking other Countries. Especially if he and his associates (such as Halliburton) can benefit financially.

Besides being an “old fox” he is also a coward: now he refuses taking responsibility for his (criminal) actions and is saying that everything is the President’s responsibility.

He wants people to forget his actions and get clean before leaving government in (can’t wait!!!) a few months. No, we won’t forget. We will always remember what a nightmare those few bastard gangsters created for us, the people.

Besides, they destroyed our economy and killed over 4,000 of our best boys/girls.

My my my, it took all this time up to now for a republican from Nebraska of all places to finally publicly acknowledge that Cheney is a bonafide draft dodger?

“Cheney told Dianne Rehm on Tuesday…”

Typographical error; should be “Hegel told…”.

And Diane Rehm.

I think Hagel is embarassed to be a Republican, in the same party as Bush/Cheney.

If a majority of members in the House and 60 members of the Senate had any backbone, they would not only impeach them both, but try them as war criminals. Compare the evil that Saddam Hussein did while in power and then look at the 4,000 Americans dead, hundreds of thousands of Iraq civilians dead, not to count the about 5,000,000 displaced and refugee Iraqis – you tell me -
who was worse, Hussein or Bush-Cheney-McCain?
You don’t have to be a dictator to be a monster.

No, they must be free to ignore the whims of the citizens that they serve. Bush and Cheney have been charged with a mission by God.

I can live with some of the preceding ideas but the only two dudes that were every on a mission from god were Jake and Elwood.

Cheney is right. The president and vice president should not be swayed from doing what is right because of a poll. Polls can be notoriously fickle with significant changes over relatively short periods of time as the public gains more knowledge and comes to understand the facts and issue. It is not like there has been a long, steady, consistent trend showing the loss of public support for a venture. Nor is like this conflict has taken longer than WWII with little to show for it other than the loss of American lives, squandering of our national treasure and severe over extension of our military. Nor have the polls been driven by the constant failure of the Iraqi government(?) to make political progress in resolving the sectarian differences that led to near civil war.

The president and vice president must buck public opinion when the threat goes to the very viability of our nation as amply demonstrated by the number of innocent Americans killed in the attack on the Trade Towers because these numbers certainly must have exceeded the number of innocents killed during the invasion Polland, France, the Netherlands and the Battle of Britan during WWII. Certainly we have seen numerous countries fall to the influence of radical Islam before engaging on this war just as we saw the Iron Curtain fall over Europe during the Cold War.
