Terry McAliffe unloads on Dick Cheney |
|
http://www.democrats.org/news/200404260001.html
<snip>
"Why should we believe a word Dick Cheney says about John Kerry - especially when it comes to defending our country? For four years, Dick Cheney hasn't been straight with the American people. Why would he start now?
"You remember Dick Cheney. He's the guy who took a year to finally admit to America that the Bush Administration had sent our troops to war in Iraq without the body armor they needed.
"You remember Dick Cheney. He's the guy who told us there was "no doubt" that Saddam Hussein possessed Weapons of Mass Destruction and that he "knew" Saddam Hussein had ties with Al-Qaeda. We now know neither was true.
"You remember Dick Cheney. He's the former head of Halliburton who rewarded his old buddies with over $7 billion in no-bid contracts to rebuild Iraq. But his old buddies rewarded America by overcharging us for gas and rewarded our troops by skimping on basic services like clean working conditions and safe food.
"You remember Dick Cheney. When John Kerry was risking his life for his country in Vietnam, Dick Cheney was getting deferments because, in his words, he had "other priorities than military service." And he feels qualified to tell us that John Kerry won't do whatever it takes to defend America?

8. Why should we trust him? |
|
Because he's our vice president, and we need to respect him in time of war and his is our leader. :eyes:

10. well, in theory we elect individuals |
|

9. I would hope they are preparing a TV campaign ad |
|
based on these words.
These statements need to hit a much broader audience then dem.org viewers. But this is a great start.
Powerful message!

13. the veep did say one true thing 9-16-01 |
|
MR. RUSSERT: Saddam Hussein, your old friend, his government had this to say: "The American cowboy is rearing the fruits of crime against humanity." If we determine that Saddam Hussein is also harboring terrorists, and there's a track record there, would we have any reluctance of going after Saddam Hussein? VICE PRES. CHENEY: No. MR. RUSSERT: Do we have evidence that he's harboring terrorists? VICE PRES. CHENEY: There is - in the past, there have been some activities related to terrorism by Saddam Hussein. But at this stage, you know, the focus is over here on al-Qaida and the most recent events in New York. Saddam Hussein's bottled up, at this point, but clearly, we continue to have a fairly tough policy where the Iraqis are concerned. MR. RUSSERT: Do we have any evidence linking Saddam Hussein or Iraqis to this operation? VICE PRES. CHENEY: No.
meet the press september 16, 2001. "Saddam Hussein's bottled up"
this was a war of choice. with no plan.
