By now you've all seen the quote, delivered with the charicatured sneer:
"Our people in uniform have been subjected to these cynical and pernicious falsehoods day in and day out," Cheney said yesterday. "American soldiers and Marines are out there every day in dangerous conditions and desert temperatures -- conducting raids, training Iraqi forces, countering attacks, seizing weapons, and capturing killers -- and back home a few opportunists are suggesting they were sent into battle for a lie."
Reading this unAmerican attack on a true patriot, Rep. Murtha, and the millions of patriotic Americans (including high percentages of our troops in harm's way) who agree with them, it occurred to me:
DICK CHENEY IS USING OUR TROOPS AS HUMAN SHIELDS!
According to Cheney and the Bush team, as long as we have troops in harms' way, no one is allowed to question or criticize administration "policy," past, present or future. He is using our troops in harm's way as human shields for political propaganda purposes.
The real traitor is "Deferment Dick" Cheney.
