LTE: Cheney's spin wearing thin

[Barrett808]

I saw Vice President Cheney on Meet the Press, and it seems he is trying to run a dead horse into the ground.

The No. 1 problem with him is that he blames the deficit/poor economy on Sept. 11. Most Americans have worked harder than ever since 9/11 and only seen their tax dollars evaporate in the Iraq occupation and the search for weapons of mass destruction.

Poor decisions by Bush/Cheney and Congress have created a deficit. Cheney insists that doubters are in error in the debate on our occupation of Iraq, while his former company is raking in billions from a no-bid contract let by the administration.

We are no longer wanted by many in Iraq as "liberators" in the "shock and awe" campaign to give "democracy" to them, but Cheney continues to deliver a rapidly degrading spin on these events.

During the Vietnam War, President Nixon's vice president, Spiro Agnew, did the same thing. Now Saigon is Ho Chi Minh City and we have the black wall in Washington to remind us.

Best to just bring the troops home and let the United Nations do its job without us interfering.

1. Yep. Even that weird

twisted smirk on the right side of his mouth seems to be drooping these days. They don't realize the subject can be pretty boring to the rest of us, even though it may be exciting to them. Ho hum. Yawn. Snore.

I guess $165 million isn't everything, is it Dick?
