BLITZER: Here's what Jim Webb, senator from Virginia said in the Democratic response last night — he said, "The president took us into this war recklessly. We are now, as a nation, held hostage to the predictable and predicted disarray that has followed." And it's not just Jim Webb; it's some of your good Republican friends in the Senate and the House are now seriously questioning your credibility, because of the blunders and the failures. Gordon Smith... CHENEY: Wolf, Wolf, I simply don't accept the premise of your question. I just think it's hogwash. --- If this had happened in Iraq, Cheney would have made sure that Blitzer checked into "Hotel Abu Ghraib" within the hour!

McCain the Warmonger. McCain the Liar. John McCain went on CNN yesterday and made the rather startling assertion that a majority of Americans supported President Bush's escalation plan right after he unveiled in his speech the other night: MILES O'BRIEN: But can the war be sustained without support from the people, without bipartisan support here? MCCAIN: We have to show the American people a path to success. Joe Lieberman would never have been re-elected in Connecticut supporting the war if it was as simple as some of my Democratic friends portray it. Overnight ratings, I understand, were slightly in favor of supporting the president's proposal. We've got to sell it and it's got to be done, and we've got to explain better the consequences of failure, which is chaos in the region. Will the falsehoods ever stop with this guy? Bush delivered his escalation speech on January 10. Here are three polls released or taken the very next day. They all showed that large majorities opposed Bush's plan: The Washington Post, released on January 11: The findings of the survey, conducted after Bush's primetime speech, represent an initial rebuke to the White House goal of generating additional public support for the mission in Iraq. The poll found that 61 percent of Americans oppose sending more than 20,000 additional troops to Iraq, with 52 percent saying they strongly oppose the plan. Just 36 percent said they back the president's new proposal. CBS, released on January 11: Do you favor or oppose sending more troops to Iraq? Favor 31%; Oppose 63%. CNN, taken on January 11: Regardless of how you feel about the war in general, do you favor or oppose President Bush's plan to send about 20,000 more U.S. troops to Iraq in an attempt to stabilize the situation there? Favor 32%; Oppose 66% Needless to say, even though CNN's own poll showed McCain's assertion to be completely false, CNN's Miles O'Brien didn't challenge or rebut his guest.

Shia Iraqi soldiers beat Sunnis as their US trainers watch: rawstory.com Great! Dumbyasshole does Ahmadinejad's dirty work. And more US soldiers will die when the Sunnis inevitably attack them. And all the while Iranian fundamentalists will be applauding it from a distance. Wonderful! (from Iran's POV, that is).

Glenn Greenwald blasts Cheney the Chickenhawk : The Bush following warriors do always seem to reserve their most vicious and patriotism-impugning attacks for the veterans and combat heroes who disagree with the Leader. In his CNN interview, Cheney said several times that the only question is whether we have the "stomach for the fight" in Iraq. As always, it's just a matter of who has the courage and who doesn't. Apparently, Dick "other priorities" Cheney has the sufficient courage for war, but Vietnam veterans Chuck Hagel (and Jim Webb and Jack Murtha and on and on) lack that courage, the "stomach." It's amazing how often it works out that way.

Cheney got five deferrments to avoid service in the 1960's. None of his deferrments were justified. He is a proven coward. He is also a thief and a very corrupt man. And a huge-huge liar. He is a neo-fascist. He is a traitor. He deserves to be imprisoned for life. Don't you agree? If not, do you think outing covert CIA agents during war-time is fair game?
