Dick Cheney Still Visiting the State Of Denial

"There is no question it's a very difficult assignment, but we’ve got a new commander in the field, we’ve got a good strategy in place, and I think we will soon see positive results."   Vice President Dick Cheney.... when he appeared on CBS' Face the Nation today.

"I think the Congress will pass clean legislation," Cheney said. "I don't think that the majority of the Democrats in Congress want to leave America's fighting forces in harm's way without the resources they need to defend themselves."

When suggested by CBS Evening News chief Washington correspondent Bob Schieffer that a majority of Americans want a timetable for American troop withdrawals from Iraq, as has been voted on in Congress, Cheney said, "Well, there is also a majority that I think would prefer to have us win. And there is a fundamental debate going on here in terms of whether or not our objective in Iraq is to quote 'withdrawal' or whether our objective in Iraq is to complete the mission. And I think a majority of Americans would prefer the latter."

"There is no question it's a very difficult assignment, but we've got a new commander in the field, we’ve got a good strategy in place, and I think we will soon see positive results."

    So once again, we hear Cheney saying that we should see positive results soon. We have heard this line of crap for quite a few years now and things are still getting worse, not better.

   Cheney seems to forget that, yes, the majority of Americans would prefer a win in Iraq, but that same majority knows full well that it isn't going to happen. Cheney and Bush also know that it isn't happening.
