Cheney says House doesn't support troops
By BRIAN SKOLOFF, Associated Press Writer 35 minutes ago
Vice President Dick Cheney on Saturday accused the Democrat-led House of not supporting troops in Iraq and of sending a message to terrorists that America will retreat in the face danger.
"They're not supporting the troops. They're undermining them," Cheney told a gathering of the Republican Jewish Coalition at the oceanside Ritz-Carlton hotel in Manalapan, Fla., about 60 miles north of Miami.
On Friday, the House voted to clamp a cutoff deadline on the Iraq war, agreeing by a thin margin to pull combat troops out by next year.
The $124 billion House legislation would pay for wars in Iraq and Afghanistan this year but would require that combat troops come home from Iraq before September 2008 — or earlier if the Iraqi government does not meet certain requirements.
Cheney called it a myth that "one can support the troops without giving them the tools and reinforcements they need to carry out their mission."
President Bush has threatened to veto the legislation. Cheney said Bush will not withdraw troops before there is stability in Iraq.
"The American people have lost faith in the president's conduct of this war," House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (news, bio, voting record), D-Calif., said after the passage. A message seeking comment was left with Pelosi's office Saturday.
Attaboy Cheney!! Good for you, Sir.
Attaboy Cheney!! Good for you, Sir.
Take lessons....this is how you fight back...tell the boss.
Dick Cheney-- yet another great feature of the Bush adminstration.
WELL THEY DON'T.
I think he now knows.
Watch an idiot Dim tomorrow on the talking head shows say that Cheney is questioning the Dem patriotism again or that Cheney has gone "too far" (John Kerry will be the designated blowhard IMO)
Cheney, got’ a love this guy.
Imagine that this happened during WWII. Then imagine that the media would try and make the VP saying what has happened as making him the story.
As usual he's right!
Cheney's been getting so agressive lately, I'm half-wondering if he might run for President after all.
TREASON.... so easy even Al Gore can do it..
WTG, Mr Vice President!! Keep telling the TRUTH about the traitors in Congress.
Tell 'em, Dick. I'd call them a lot worse.
CORRECT!

Nope...jon f'n carry isn't on one of the Sunday Talk Show tomorrow...but, if you look at this thread..you can find out what lily-livered Dems are.
Bush also is coming down on them hard. Make the traitors sqeal!
Do surrender monkeys squeal??
About the House Democrats: The friends of our enemy are our enemies. This is especially true for the Democrats who voted for the bill because of its extra $20 billion of goodies, as with Judas they sold out for Pelosi's 20 pieces of silver.
Could you imagine the shrieks from the left! I'd want my camera ready so I could capture a few in the act of spontaneous combustion.
If you choke them hard enough, sure!
I think Chris Matthews' head would explode if Cheney announced he was running for POTUS.
I would LOVE for Cheney to do it...just to see what the response would be.
I maintain that George W. Bush would have been a fantastic Vice President for President Dick Cheney.
It's about time that the Repbublicans get this message out loud and clear that the Democrats are now, and have been on the side of our enemies.
Ummm, don't you think the boss tells Cheny to say this stuff?
No....new tone...dont you know...:-)
Tomorrow some White House junior staffer will claim Cheney didn't mean what he said.
Finally, clarity is provided by someone in the administration without calculating the political fallout.
God love Vice President Cheney.
Did your dog die or something?
Either you are dumb or deaf and blind because GW just handed the donks their asses yesterday. Or you just like to bash GW because you are no better than the dummies. Your time and energy should be attacking the real enemy the donks, while we are at war, unless your motive is to make Pelosi and Reid look good.
The House should be grateful there's no mandatory hunting excursion.
I would pay to have a Cheney 08 sticker for my car just for that reason.
May I start calling you Eeyore? It somehow seems to fit your current mood.
"sending a message to terrorists that America will retreat in the face danger."
Cheney is wrong here. It should read, "sending a message to terrorists that America will retreat in the face discomfort." I would not insult the term "danger".
Maybe the cool guy that he used to be.......the one that I liked and trusted........ will come back some day.
Maybe he'll start to fight the enemy again instead of fighting the people who are keeping us safe from the enemy.
Makes a neat tagline...
That would be nice. When we have the democrats trying to assist our enemy, we should be attacking them and not our own. I appreciate your loyal support of GW during these times.
This bill simply tells the families who have lost loved ones there that they died for nothing. It tells the soldiers on the ground not to risk life and limb for a cause the Congress says is not worth fighting for, so just hunker down and stay alive until your unity pulls out. And it gives the insurgents and jihadist the eventual victory and new reasons for others to join them.
BTTT!!!!
Flash Bulletin: ...The sun rises in the east.
Poor sad Dog! LOL. :)
Expect Gag-and-Hagel to undercut Vice President Cheney.
Especially when we have one of the finest men to ever occupy the Oval Office leading us through dark times.
We have a Commander in Chief that our troops are proud to serve, and we are winning the war against an evil enemy.
It's not a time to be gloomy, Dog.
Nor is it a time to take your eye off the ball, and stop fighting the real bad guys.........the traitors in Congress who are joining forces with the terrorists.
I hope you get out of this pathetic funk sometime soon and rejoin the battle. I really did like the guy you used to be. You were strong.
I pray you will be again some day.
