Vice President Dick Cheney used the setting of an aircraft carrier in the Persian Gulf to deliver a stern message to Iran today, warning that the United States would not allow Iran to obtain nuclear weapons or gain the upper hand in the Middle East.

“With two carrier strike groups in the Gulf, we’re sending clear messages to friends and adversaries alike,” he said, in a speech on board the U.S.S. John C. Stennis.

The United States “will stand with others to prevent Iran from gaining nuclear weapons and dominating this region,” he said.

“I want you to know that the American people will not support a policy of retreat,” Mr. Cheney said. “We want to complete the mission, we want to get it done right, and then we want to return home with honor.”

Today, standing in front of five F-18 Super Hornet warplanes and a huge American flag on the hangar deck of the carrier, Mr. Cheney spoke to some 3,500 service members, according to the A.P. He sounded a hard line, saying the United States must hold firm in Iraq and confront Iran if necessary, the agency reported.

“I want you to know that the American people will not support a policy of retreat,” Mr. Cheney said.
The American people already rejected your policies, Mr. Cheney. He just does not get it, none of them do. And now he is still talking about confronting Iran. When will they learn? What will it take? They just have no sense of reality.

1. Yeah your sending a message dipstick

Republicans should never be allowed to be in control of the weapons the United States has.

and don't ya just love it when some cowardly, evil, hateful chickenhawk chickenshit says "WE"?? We want to complete the mission. Cheney has no skin in the game; he's just a fucking PNAC monster who does not deserve his citizenship.

So, now WHO "will stand with others to prevent" the neocon war criminals (for greed) from USING nuclear weapons and dominating this region??

9. If I was a war-profiteering oil man chickenhawk, I'd want that too

Imagine America under martial law with gas at $20/gallon and no end to war in sight. What a wonderful day for Dick!

The World would hate us even more, so more fear could be inflicted on the American people...and you can bet all the MSM would lap it up. War is good for bu$ine$$.

It's a duplicate of the one in which Bush stood on a carrier and said the United States must hold firm in Iraq!

11. Bwahahaha!

Seriously, someone who avoided military service like Tricky Dick Cheney should not be allowed on a naval vessel, military base, etc. It's a slap in the face to REAL patriots.
