Cheney: U.S. Must Continue Terror Fight (more wisdom from slick dick)
Edited on Sat Oct-30-04 10:30 AM by maddezmom
NAZARETH, Pa. - Vice President Dick Cheney (news - web sites) said Saturday that Osama bin Laden (news - web sites)'s latest message to the United States underscores the importance of staying focused on pursuing terrorism wherever it exists.


The new bin Laden tape is "a reminder that we are engaged in a global war on terror," Cheney told more than a thousand supporters at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania. "It is a contest we did not choose, but it is one that we will win."


"Freedom is the best antidote for terrorism," the vice president told the cheering crowd as he pressed his criticism of John Kerry (news - web sites)'s stands on national security.


Bin Laden's sudden reappearance on videotape and the deaths of eight Marines in Iraq (news - web sites) on Saturday framed the most important issues of the campaign: The war in Iraq and terrorism

Yeah, right buddy...and the tape also reminds us the * misadministration hasn't captured or killed SBL and he's still on the run.

and more proof of failure:
{b]Bush Makes Late Appeal in Radio Address
He did not mention a new videotaped message from terrorist leader Osama bin Laden (news - web sites). Bush recorded his radio address in the morning, before the tape surfaced. (* my comments...but he new early in the morning about the tape, while recording this message. Guess he thought they would be able to surpress the tape)



"Since September the 11th, 2001, I have led a relentless campaign against the terrorists," Bush said. "We have strengthened homeland security. We removed terror regimes in Afghanistan (news - web sites) and Iraq (news - web sites). We are on the offensive around the world, because the best way to prevent future attacks is to go after the enemy."

1. I knew they would try to connect Iraq to Bin Laden and terrorism
because of the timing of that BL tape. Now,you see, it is certain-- we are fighting Bin Laden in Iraq because he is the evil man who killed thousands of people. <sarcasm>

6. Cheney and Shrub want to send our
children to fight their never-ending war on f***g terra, 8 dead today, 9 injured, bodies shipped home in the middle of the night, no pictures, not one funeral attended by these ruthless cowards. It's Orwellian, the chickenhawks make all the money while our children die for oil.

NOT IN MY NAME!


God help us! :cry: :cry:

8. Notice how the Bush campaign never mentions domestic matters
Edited on Sat Oct-30-04 02:50 PM by Ravenswood
except where they plan to continue restricting rights such as the Patriot Act, Constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage, overturning Roe v. Wade, etc.

Beyond that it's All War All the Time.

Their utter lack of concern for issues that matter to many average voters is astounding.

9. When they do, they lose. So it's "All terror, all the time."
I just have this sneaking feeling that the OBL tape was a "GOP production." :grr:

10. You're not alone.
They are dangerous trash.

We can REALLY fight terror by electing a decent President.

11. cheney just loves false dichotomies
I mean, what's the alternative? "ah fuck it, bin Laden, you can come have the place." :eyes:
As usual, he is implying that choosing the other candidate for President means doing just that. Can we just eliminate all text from his future election year speeches and replace them with "fear fear fear. false dichotomy. fear. fear. xenophobia, fear."
