Cheney: U.S. must show "stomach" to win in Iraq

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Vice President
Dick Cheney said on Sunday the United States must show it has the "stomach" to win in Iraq
or it will confirm al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden's view that Americans can be pressured
to leave.

Cheney defended the plan put forward last week by President George W. Bush to send 21,500
additional troops to Iraq and said critics had not produced an alternative proposal.

U.S. allies helping in fighting terrorism -- Pakistan, Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia, the Gulf states
and Egypt -- must have confidence that the United States will not leave before a successful
outcome, Cheney said.

"If the United States doesn't have the stomach to finish the task in Iraq, we put at risk
what we've done in all of those other locations," he said on "Fox News Sunday."

1. These treasonous, rat bastards couldn't be any more offensive.

The spin won't work, dickheads. This is YOUR war. YOU OWN it.

2. More of the "Iraq = 9/11" canard

Dick Cheney said on Sunday the United States must show it has the "stomach" to win in Iraq or it will confirm al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden's view that Americans can be pressured to leave."

Bin Laden wanted us to leave Saudi Arabia, and we did.

In fact, bin Laden wanted Hussein deposed because they were mortal enemies. We did that for him too.

I'd say Cheney, Bush and the rest of the criminal cabal are actually agents of bin Laden. If you think about it, they've pretty much done everything bin Laden allegedly wanted, including destroy our constitution and turn us into a rogue, torturing, constitution-shredding, murdering state.

Here we go again.

Apparently, all the shrinking pool of admin. defenders have left is the
wimp/unpatriotic/ignorant/cut-and-run card.

9. He's all stomach

and no brains.

Anyone can develop "guts" or the "stomach" to face situations but it takes years to develop the intelligence to deal with quagmires like these two stooges got us into.

13. The failure of progeny of RW chickenhawks to be willing to possibly spill their guts in Iraq

eloquently speaks to our not having the stomach to finish the task.
