Checking various sites this morning came across this.
Cheney uses Mideast as campaign issue
In the article Cheney uses the time old argument that we must stay the course and this is why you must vote republican.
Vice President Dick Cheney on Friday pointed to the fighting between Israel and Hezbollah as fresh evidence of the ongoing battle against terrorism that underscores the need to keep President Bush's Republican allies in control of Congress.
I find it so incredible that anyone would believe this. Stay the course? Keep this congress in power? As if this is the only way to victory?
Cheney said that as Republicans make their case to voters in the midterm elections, "it's vital that we keep issues of national security at the top of the agenda." He faulted Democrats in Congress who have pushed for a timetable for withdrawing Americans from
Iraq, saying that would send the wrong message to terrorists.
"If anyone thinks the conflict is over or soon to be over, all they have to do is look at what's happening in the Middle East today," he said.
If anything I kinda hope they do bring this message as it seems the current polls show that most americans think the Democrats would do better with national security.
I really find it disgusting that this man will get up and talk to military crowds about how we must support the troops and stay the course, while his administration cuts veteran benefits, sends troops into battle without the proper equipment and lets not forget the biggie, GOT US INTO THIS WAR through lies!
The last part of the article discusses this.
Cheney also administered the re-enlistment oath to Cpl. Jerrod Fields, a 24-year-old Army gunner from Chicago who was determined to remain in the ranks after losing his left leg last year to a bomb blast in Iraq.
I appreciate and honor Cpl. Fields for his service and sacrifice for our country, however I hope for him he does not get on the bad side of this disgusting administration otherwise they will release their swift boaters like they did on Congressman Max Cleland.
