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

Of course, he doesn't give fuck what the troops think.

10. We should put this quote out there, everywhere...
Even the hardcore Bush apologists realize how bad it has become in Iraq. No denying it anymore.

Cheney is perpetuating a tragic lie.

15. Axis of unbelieveable evil
Only this incredibly ignorant piece of garbage wrapped in skin, along with his fellow psychopaths - the idiot, condasleezer, and dumbsfeld - could utter something so insane!
Un-freakin-believeable.

22. Translation: ''The oil's flowing.''
"The money's flowing, too. From the taxpayers to the Caymans to my numbered bank account in Switzerland."
