ViceZilla’s Views

As released by the Associated Press. 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.

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.”

What?

If I remember correctly, there were reports out of Iraq shortly after the war started that American troops were resorting to picking through scrap heaps to find materials to put on their vehicles for protection. And why were troops arriving in Iraq for active duty lacking personal protective vests, and other equipment to help make them safer? Why weren’t the calls from U.S Generals asking for more troops heeded in the beginning?

You complain about the Democrats not giving support to the troops now, but where were you four years ago? You claim the Democrats are not giving the troops in Iraq the materials they need to do their jobs now. But four years ago what did the Bush Administration spend the money on when the war financing spigot was wide open?

Mr. Cheney, every time you speak the world wonders if you are speaking as the Vice President of the United States, or the mouthpiece for Halliburton. What exactly is YOUR agenda Mr. Cheney?
