Cheney Says Kerry Has No Plan to Win War
Edited on Mon Nov-01-04 08:50 AM by maddezmom
HONOLULU - Invoking memories of the attack on Pearl Harbor, Vice President Dick Cheney (news - web sites) told a late-night campaign rally Sunday that rival John Kerry (news - web sites) neither understands nor has a plan to win today's war on terror.


In a 3,225-mile detour from the mainland battleground states, the vice president made the most of a surprise visit to traditionally Democratic Hawaii by ripping into Kerry in the final hours of the campaign.


"We are standing just a few miles from Pearl Harbor, the site of a sudden attack ... Three years ago, America faced another sudden attack," Cheney told a crowd estimated by his aides at 9,000, the vice president's biggest crowd at a campaign event.


Cheney said that "the clearest, most important difference in this campaign is simple to state: President Bush (news - web sites) understands the war on terror and has a strategy for winning it. John Kerry does not."

1. Most effective tip for ending wars
1) Don't start new wars while you are still fighting old ones.

5. Ok, Let me get this straight ...
AWOL: Wants to stay the course. Long hard Slog. Its hard work. Victory is "up in the air".

Kerry: You must win the Peace before you can win the war.

Thanks for clearing that up Dick. You got my vote .... NOT.

Cheers
Drifter

7. Its a war that can't be won....like the stupid war on drugs....
repugs take "problems" that need addressing and turn
them into wars. Keeping the sheep frightened and whipped
into a frenzy is the only way repugs can survive an election.
Even then they have to steal a portion of the votes to push
it over the winning edge.

Cheney's heart cannot go on forever.

11. You and yours will be held accountable this time, Dick.
We can't allow them to regroup for yet another assault on humanity.

13. JUST SHUT UP, CHENEY
No one cares what you think or what you say.

After tomorrow you will go down in history as the Worst Vice-President ever and will have an asterisk after your name when any election lists are presented, because YOU, TOO, were NEVER elected.


Sorry, I did not read the article - I am so tired of hearing this tired phrase over and over on TV, I don't feel the need to read it.

15. War? Are we at war?
Wow, when did it become a war
and not just an unmerited attack.

I thought the mission was accomplished......
So what war could he be talking about.

The "War on Terror" isn't really any type of war either. Just more attacks on governments around the world...........

I just don't get it, I guess?
:shrug:

16. It is an unwinnable are Dick
Don't you get that yet? Or is all of that Halliburton profit you're picking up blinding you to this reality. There is no way to win this war, or for that matter, win the peace. We should pull out now, paying for ALL reparations, and leave the Iraqis to their fate. Yes, yes, I hear you, it will result in civil war in Iraq, but that is going to be the outcome no matter what we do. Any government, any civil law that we establish is going to be swept away in a civil war, no matter when we leave, no matter what we do.

At this point all we can hope to do is to minimize the body count, and the only way to do that is to leave.

17. Someone has his ears plugged....
Didn't he listen to Kerry at the third speech? Nah, didn't think so.

So, is the Bush plan working? The one with NO exit strategy, and with almost 1125 soldiers dead? Yep.

19. And Cheney Does??
Edited on Mon Nov-01-04 10:05 AM by umtalal
Oh, it is Cheney's pocket that matters the most. He wants the contracts all for himself. Cheney will never finish this war and there are no winners in this one. How can there be?
