When asked how that assessment comports with recent polls that show about two-thirds of Americans say the fight in Iraq is not worth it, Cheney replied, "So?"

"You don't care what the American people think?" Raddatz asked the vice president.


"You can't be blown off course by polls," said Cheney, who is currently on a tour of the Middle East. "This president is very courageous and determined to go the course. There has been a huge fundamental change and transformation for the better. That's a huge accomplishment."

1. The 'no' or the 'so'?

[alfredo]

3. The no.

[trof]

6. Sorry. Don't get it.

I thought his response was "...So?"
Was there also a 'no' before 'you can't be blown off course'?

[alfredo]

7. The was a So when asked about the two thirds against the war.

The was a no when he was asked if he cared about what the American people think. The No was edited out.

9. Ah. See? Never saw it.

And I pay attention.
Thanks.

[alfredo]

13. Never watch the news after happy hour.

[trof]

17. You got a chuckle from me with that.

Thanks.
:-)

[alfredo]

18. I have to be half lit to watch the news.

[trayfoot]

23. It's true Cheney said the "NO"!

I saw him interviewed on TV as he said it. He had that sinister smirk on his face, also. Such an EVIL PERSON!

[shanti]

29. too late!

many of us already saw it - it was breathtaking in its hubris :mad:

[notadmblnd]

35. It was a so

Jon Stewart did a segement on it Thursday night. I suppose you can look for the clip at Comedy Central, it will probably be posted there.

2. "change and transformation for the better"

Argh! STFU Dickhead! :banghead:

[alfredo]

4. I let ABC have it, in a "nice" way.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

5. Do you have a link to the transcript. The article mentions Cheney saying "so"

Thanks! :hi:

[alfredo]

8. Here's a video

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

11. I found the transcript and No was not edited out. Here goes

http://abcnews.go.com/WN/Vote2008/Story?id=4481568&page=3

RADDATZ: Let me go back to the Americans. Two-thirds of Americans say it's not worth fighting, and they're looking at the value gain versus the cost in American lives, certainly, and Iraqi lives. THE VICE PRESIDENT: So?

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

THE VICE PRESIDENT: No, I think you cannot be blown off course by the fluctuations in the public opinion polls. Think about what would have happened if Abraham Lincoln had paid attention to polls, if they had had polls during the Civil War. He never would have succeeded if he hadn't had a clear objective, a vision for where he wanted to go, and he was willing to withstand the slings and arrows of the political wars in order to get there. And this President has been very courageous, very consistent, very determined to continue down the course we were on and to achieve our objective. And that's victory in Iraq, that's the establishment of a democracy where there's never been a democracy, it's the establishment of a regime that respects the rights and liberties of their people, as an ally for the United States in the war against terror, and as a positive force for change in the Middle East. That's a huge accomplishment.

12. Look here:

On edit: This is a link to the story, not the transcript.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

16. And that is what got me confused. I have a thing for transcripts!

BTW..thanks! :hi:

[alfredo]

14. But the article that more people would read has been edited.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

15. And that's what I just complained to them about!

[alfredo]

19. Good. Check back to see if they fix it.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

30. They still haven't corrected it.

[alfredo]

32. They're sticking to the official story.

[Contrary1]

10. Here's that part:

When asked how that assessment comports with recent polls that show about two-thirds of Americans say the fight in Iraq is not worth it, Cheney replied, "So?"

"You don't care what the American people think?" Raddatz asked the vice president.


("No." edited out here) "You can't be blown off course by polls," said Cheney, who is currently on a tour of the Middle East. "This president is very courageous and determined to go the course. There has been a huge fundamental change and transformation for the better. That's a huge accomplishment."

20. The whole dang family is a waste of DNA.

Self-hating daughter, annoying apologist wife. To hell with them all.

[Echo In Light]

21. Oh, that nutty ol LIBERAL media! ...ever so biased

[wtmusic]

22. done, k&r.

Thx Alfredo. :thumbsup:

[Dukkha]

24. amazing an evildoer with a 9% approval rating gets a free pass

Never in modern history has a politician been so unashamedly vile and repulsive. Sadly history will be the only justice he will see.

[alfredo]

25. Naw, as soon as he leaves office lawyers will descend on his sagging butt.

bush and cheney still have the power to cut off press access to any "offending" news agency.

[Neecy]

34. exactly

Tweety was incensed about it, but it's hardly garnered ten seconds of airtime anywhere else. Too much hysteria about Obama's pastor, a much more important issue, apparently, than the Vice President slagging on the American public. Stunning.

[riverdeep]

26. For the five-thousandth and fifty-second time asking this:

Why isn't this man sitting in the Hague?

I know, I know, the clue is the letters N and P.

[alfredo]

27. He's still in office. War crime charges usually happen after public

office.

[alfredo]

28. It's been about 4-5 hours since I mailed them about it. Still no change.

[Bandit]

31. I am so shocked that Cheney doesn't care what anyone thinks

He has been so caring up until this point..."Big Time"

[alfredo]

33. Your sig line image is so telling.

[alfredo]

36. 2:14 EST and still no correction.
