Cheney: ‘General Overall Situation’ In Iraq Is Going ‘Remarkably Well’



http://thinkprogress.org/2006/10/17/cheney-rush/

Rush Limbaugh interviewed Vice President Cheney on his show today. At one point, Limbaugh asked Cheney to respond to growing frustration over U.S. efforts in Iraq.

Cheney acknowledged there is a “natural level of concern out there” because fighting didn’t end “instantaneously.” (Next month, the war will have lasted longer than U.S. fighting in World War II.) Cheney then pointed to various news items to paint a positive picture of conditions in Iraq and concluded, “If you look at the general overall situation, they’re doing remarkably well.

Full transcript:

CHENEY: Well, I think there’s some natural level of concern out there because in fact, you know, it wasn’t over instantaneously. It’s been a little over three years now since we went into Iraq, so I don’t think it’s surprising that people are concerned.

On the other hand, this government has only been in office about five months, five or six months now. They’re off to a good start. It is difficult, no question about it, but we’ve now got over 300,000 Iraqis trained and equipped as part of their security forces. They’ve had three national elections with higher turnout than we have here in the United States. If you look at the general overall situation, they’re doing remarkably well.

It’s still very, very difficult, very tough. Nobody should underestimate the extent to which we’re engaged there with this sort of, at present, the “major front” of the war on terror. That’s what Osama bin Laden says, and he’s right.

This shit would be funny if it wasn't such a damn tragedy.
It's going to be really interesting to watch the inner circle sharks battle it out and see who wins, Poppy's Team or Dimson's.


Oh and BTW, Dick's not lying ... for him and his cronies at Halliburton, Bechtel, and Blackwater .... it's going perfectly according to plan $$$$$ .... :mad:
