The VP Is Too Smart To Be in Dreamland, So It's Safe to Assume He's Feeding Us Yet Again Another Line of Bullshit

Vice President Dick Cheney is once again wondering what it will take to get you into this car today:

We will succeed in Iraq, just like we did in Afghanistan. We will stand up a new government under an Iraqi-drafted constitution. We will defeat that insurgency, and, in fact, it will be an enormous success story."

This is the same man who said the following on "Meet the Press.":

Tim Russert: If your analysis is not correct, and we’re not treated as liberators, but as conquerors, and the Iraqis begin to resist, particularly in Baghdad, do you think the American people are prepared for a long, costly, and bloody battle with significant American casualties?

Vice President Cheney: Well, I don’t think it’s likely to unfold that way, Tim, because I really do believe that we will be greeted as liberators.


Notice he used the phrase "in fact" when he completely got the aftermath of the conquest of Iraq wrong and now uses it again in his prediction of the Iraq quagmire somehow becoming an enormous success story. Would you buy a used car from this man? No more American deaths in a war that was fed to Americans through repeated lines of bullshit. Bring the troops home from Iraq now.
