Where are Cheney and Rummy? Did Rummy ever come back from Iraq?
The night these major Israeli Air strikes started, someone asked, "Where's Cheney?"

Another major world crisis, Bush and Condi are out of the country, and Cheney is no where to be found.:shrug:

Then tonight I was in the car and thought, did Rummy ever come back from Iraq? Remember how he made that surprise visit to Iraq on Wednesday?

Bill Gates and a few other former Government officials who are out of the country too.

This might sound a bit tinfoil, but I can't help but think Cheney and Rummy might have something to do with the targeting of these Air-strikes. :tinfoilhat:

So, Where are Cheney and Rummy?

2. Yeah, the mideast is in upheaval
and this administration is no where to be found. Kind of like when Katrina happened.

8. Exactly! That's what I was thinking when "Marie26" posed the question...
...Where's Cheney?

Here's the link to the exchange we had:
<http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=102&topic_id=2387125&mesg_id=2388019>

<http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=102&topic_id=2387125&mesg_id=2388154>

And you know, this isn't the first time this has happened, on the radio today (NPR) they said that Israel did something similar back in 1988 (or 1992, I'm not sure) when there was another G7 meeting.

4. Was that the same visit that Jon Stewart made fun of? A poor
schmuck soldier asking Rummy why he had obsolete equipment and Rummy giggled and made a joke out of it?

7. Nah, that was a much older trip, this one was from this week...
I'd have to look it up, but I think the one you're talking about was at least a year ago.

13. This one, too.
The same thing happened this past week. Kid asked about some equipment they can't get and Rummy was a total asshole. His "act" is getting very old and no longer is funny, never was. Of course the press giggles at him. They have no shame. I wish they would do their damn job!

9. I don't have a clue where they are
but if they wanted to direct a foreign war, I would assume they would do it from here at home in a nice air-conditioned bunker (with a fully stocked bar, of course). God knows they aren't going to get too close to any action. They do after all put the Chicken in Chickenhawk.

14. I'd really love to know where the hell they are...
...I was hoping that someone who would report about the traffic jam, like the ones they always cause when they come here to Atlanta, or some thing like that.

Too bad the MSM is too stupid to ask this question.:mad:
