Dick and Bush plan and they could careless what anyone thinks

[Maggie_May]

RBIL, Iraq (AP) — Vice President Dick Cheney played the part of backroom power broker for two days and came away on Tuesday with pledges from Shiites, Sunnis and Kurds to firm up a new blueprint for U.S.-Iraq relations that will stretch beyond the Bush presidency.
Administration officials say they probably will not seek Senate approval of the plan because the agreement will not be a treaty that provides Iraq with specific security guarantees. This position has prompted a backlash in Congress, where Democrats have proposed legislation that would render the agreement null and void without the Senate's blessing.

Here's the conversation that ensued, including Raddatz's original comment. Video of the exchange follows.

RADDATZ: Two-thirds of Americans say it's not worth fighting.

CHENEY: So.

RADDATZ: So? You don't care what the American people think?

CHENEY: No. I think you cannot be blown off course by the fluctuations in the public opinion polls. There has in fact been fundamental change and transformation and improvement for the better. That's a huge accomplishment.

Bush and Cheney will stop at nothing they don't care what you or I or the Senate or Congress have to say. They will keep our men and women over in Iraq at any cost. Yes any cost in lives or money. They are trying to shore up deals with Iraq without Senate approval or ours. Bush and Cheney think that they are above the law that was set up by our founding fathers.

2. Never Has A Two-Letter Word Resonated...

For those of us who detest all this regime has stood for since the outset, have been strongly against this illegal war for proft as both a quagmire and a destruction of our infrastructure and can cite a dozen other crimes this regime has committed, Crashcart's arrogance can now be summed up, as it clearly refelcts how this regime and the repugnicans have operated...purely for themselves. He could have said "fuck off" and that wouldn't have been as irritating as "so"...since not only it includes the "fuck off" but the promise of this plundering will go on no matter how worse things get in this country and that this regime has no contrition whatsoever for all its actions. Any American who isn't incensed by this deserves scorn and ridicule as they're also enablers in this destruction of what was once a great country.
