Direct words from a Cheney campaign speech two months ago

[NVMojo]

talking about how great their coalition is and how they disarmed Libya!!! What about those explosives left to travel in Iraq??? What a dumbass!!!


"Under the President's leadership, we have driven the Taliban from power in Afghanistan and closed down the camps where terrorists trained to kill Americans. (Applause.) Under the President's leadership, we rid the world of a gathering threat by eliminating the regime of Saddam Hussein. (Applause.)

Sixteen months ago, Saddam controlled the lives and future of nearly 25 million people. Today, he's in jail. (Applause.)

A year ago, Libya had a secret nuclear weapons program. But after ourcoalition ousted Saddam Hussein, Libya's leader, Moammar Ghadafi, had a change of heart. (Laughter.) He turned control of Libya's program over to us, and today the uranium, the centrifuges, and the designs for nuclear weapons are in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, under American lock and key. (Applause.)

We've also shut down the secret network that provided much of the
technology to Libya -- which was based in Pakistan that was the world's most dangerous supplier -- that is the network was the world's most dangerous supplier of illegal nuclear weapons technology. We've put terrorist financers out of business, dismantled terrorist cells worldwide. Most of the planners of
the 9/11 attacks have been captured or killed, including Khalid ShaykhMuhammad, the mastermind of 9/11. (Applause.)

We could not have succeeded in these efforts, without the help of dozens of countries around the world. Now, if you were to listen to our opponents in this election, you would think that America was fighting the war on terror alone. Nothing could be further from the truth -- or more insulting to our allies. Terrorists have been killed or captured because of the efforts of our partners in Pakistan and Turkey, in Saudi Arabia, in Kenya and Malaysia. Even France and Germany have had troops alongside ours in Afghanistan. GreatBritain, Australia, Italy, Poland, South Korea, Ukraine, Japan and more than20 other nations have contributed troops to our operations in Iraq.

As we fight the global war on terror, we have the support of Canada and Mexico, of Colombia, Jordan, and Morocco, of India, Paraguay, Denmark, the Netherlands, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Algeria, Uzbekistan, Egypt, Singapore, Russia - and the list of those who are joined with us goes on and on. Remember this list -- remember how long it is -- the next time you hear Senator Kerry say America does not have allies. (Applause.)

We are proud of our allies' contributions. We will always seek
international support for international efforts, but as President Bush has made clear, there is a difference between leading a coalition of many nations and submitting to the objections of a few. We will never seek a permission slip to defend the United States of America. (Applause.)"

1. Remember when Dean was made fun of for the

state's listing...Why did Cheney list the countries? Especially since almost none of them have more then a hundred troops in our operations?
